Starting with the US oil boom in the 1860s, A Century of Tankers tells the remarkable story of the rise of tanker shipping, its pivotal role in the world today, and its fall from grace in recent decades. It also provides an enthralling political and economic backdrop to the development of one humankind's most remarkable technological achievements.

Current Issues Facing the Tanker Market These are crucial times for tanker operators. Reams of new legislation have been drawn up to govern the industry in the wake of a number of high-profile incidents, most notably the Erika. One of the most far-reaching is the revision to the phase out of single-hulled tankers under MARPOL 73/78 Annex I regulation 13G. What, though, will the impact be on the market? Current Issues Facing the Tanker Market discusses this and a number of other significant issues facing our industry. It analyses of how new MARPOL regulations will affect each segment of the tanker fleet, including VLCCs, Suezmaxes, Aframaxes, Panamaxes and Handysized tankers. It also discusses tanker contracting, recycling, the main tanker markets, consolidation in the industry, oil production, supply and demand, freight rates and tanker values. Available at US$60 for members and US$120 for non-members.

The book explains how pumping calculations should be done in line with standard pumping clauses and provides clear definitions of the terms used. It contains lucid sample calculations along with suggested alternative methods of monitoring the pumping process. Available at US$65 for members and US$ 130 for non-members.

Reception Facilities for Tankers 2001 Tanker operators work hard to make the sea cleaner.
