Synopsis

"Jane's Merchant Ships" is first and foremost a recognition guide for those either at sea or in occupations where there is a need to identify merchant shipping. Line drawings and photographs, together with the use of a revised version of the Talbot Booth recognition system based on ship type, sequence and hull form, will support your identification. A merchant shipping report, analysis of legislation and safety issues are also covered. The key contents include: tankers and combination carriers; liquefied gas carriers; geared and gearless container ships; refrigerated cargo ships; geared and gearless dry cargo ships; low-aircraft ships; Ro-Ro/Lo-Lo; vehicle carriers; passenger ships; and specialized cargo ships.

About this title

About the Author:

David Greenman began working on the books, which were the forerunners of Jane's Merchant Ships thirty-nine years ago. He worked as assistant to Talbot-Booth, who originated these books in the early 'thirties. Talbot-Booth specialised in ship recognition and, in 1956, he founded the Ship Recognition Corps. This is a volunteer organisation that aims to teach its members the principles of merchant ship recognition. David Greenman has been the director of the Corps for the past seventeen years and the editor of Jane's Merchant Ships for twenty five.
