The loading of vessels to secure maximum security and seakindliness
is of vital importance to fishermen. This book deals with this
important subject in detail and is intended as a textbook for
preparing for masters and mates certficates. It also affords
practical guidance to the fisheman or smallboat owner. Since it was
first published, much of its advice and many of the principles
behind its recommendation have become officially adopted,
nationally and internationally.

The Potemkin and Aurora are two ships that bookended the Russian
Revolution. The Potemkin, a battleship of the Black Sea Fleet, led
the first naval mutiny at Odessa in 1905. The Aurora, after sailing
round the globe in the service of the Tsar and taking part in the
defeat at Tsushima by the Japanese in 1905, was adopted by the
Bolsheviks to fire the fatal shot that signalled the storming of
the Winter Palace in 1917. She lived on, surviving two world wars
and was hailed as a 'Hero of the Revolution'.
This is the perfect guide for anyone cruising in the Mediterranean
by Rod Heikell, the acknowledged expert on Mediterranean sailing.
Thoroughly updated, this new edition conveys the magic of
Mediterranean cruising, as well as giving practical first-hand
advice on sailing these enticing waters. Although the Mediterranean
provides wonderfully diverse cruising opportunities, it can also
deliver a few surprises to the unwary. In this invaluable practical
guide, Rod Heikell provides sound advice on: anchoring, berthing
bow or stern-to, what weather to expect, facilities and the costs
of keeping a boat there, plus advice on navigation, popular routes,
formalities and what to expect ashore. Each country around the
Mediterranean is covered, and there's even a handy section on
shoe-string cruising for those on a tight budget. 'Offers
time-served advice to both the novice and the old-hand.' Nautical

Maritime transport faces multiple challenges, therefore it requires
an interdisciplinary approach in order to respond efficiently to
the interaction between diverse agents. This book presents
interdisciplinary research, as well as operational experiences,
which contribute towards the development of the field. The
substantial growth of maritime shipping has resulted in large
quantities of good and products being transported around the world,
creating a demand for innovative solutions for infrastructure and
fleets. A further increase in the scale and the size of container
carriers and passenger cruisers also requires special facilities.
These developments have presented a challenge for different types
of technologies, as well as operational systems. Maritime
transportation ought to be integrated with other services such as
railways, roadways and airports and, in some cases, river and canal
traffic in order to achieve maximum efficiency. It also needs to
respond rapidly to the economic and political circumstances in
different parts of the world. These challenges often require
extreme performances in terms of capacity, speed of delivery,
energy consumption, environmental sustainability, as well as social
and economic aspects. A range of topics are covered, including:
Ports and their operation; Routing and automatic control of marine
ships; Responsible and sustainable port innovation and development
along the 21st century Maritime Silk Road; Ports of the future -
Sustainable intelligent ports for smart and autonomous ships and
logistics; Pollution and the protection of the marine environment;
Maritime education and training; Planning and management.
With support from the Inland Waterways Association, Friends of the
River Nene and others, and drawing on his longstanding connection
with the river, Roger Green has thoroughly revised and updated this
popular guide. A new design includes thorough navigation notes
alongside more detailed maps of the canal and river, showing the
main features of the navigation. Helpful tables indicate mileages
and likely timings between locks to help with passage planning and
also provide further information on all the moorings, facilities
and services, many of which have been much improved in recent
years. Other features of interest such as canoe launch access and
portage points are also shown. Details of facilities, walking and
cycling routes and local history add useful information.
Photographs help to highlight points of interest along the way and
confirm this guide to be the essential companion for anyone
planning to navigate the river, whether by boat, canoe, bicycle or
on foot.
