BULK CARRIER PRACTICE

  This publication is dedicated to the dry bulk carriers - the workhorses of the sea, as they are commonly called. These ships carry out the greater part of the transportation of commodities without which the life of the modern society would stop. The book was prepared by the recognized expert, Captain Isbester, who managed to put his operational experience into writing, and made this book a perfect source for ones who are willing to get the proper knowledge and skills required to run the modern bulk carriers in a safe and efficient manner.

The chapters of this book focus not only on the operational requirements applicable to the bulk carriers, but also the decision making processes that are so necessary if you want to make the operations successful. This approach is what separates our book from the other publications and provides its unique character. It was very difficult task to compile this publication but the efforts of the author resulted in a very easy to read and understand reference.

We would also recommend it for use as the training manual for the newcomers to the bulk fleet. In addition, it may be used both ashore, in the company, and on board, and will be of great value for the ship owners and operators, marine surveyors and consultants, lawyers and all other parties involved.
