Reviews

'The world of cargo operations has changed considerably from the days of the open stowage of merchandise. Unitise cargoes in the form of containers or Ro-Ro and pallatisation have generated a need for alternative handling methods and changing procedures. The work of the stevedore has moved on to a vastly different role to that previously employed in general cargo holds. The cargo units are labour saving and tend to require a different mode of working. In many cases, ships' crew or rigging gangs have replaced the role of the previous style of dock labour. The fork lift truck and the container gantry have been the source of major causes of change within the cargo handling environment and the demise of labour intensive activities. Unlike the previous six editions of 'Cargo Work', this new text has taken the changes to the industry and included the cargo handling equipment and procedures in use today. It accepts that cargoes can no longer be a stand alone topic and must incorporate modern methods of handling and stowage. The two topics of cargoes and handling have thus been combined to appeal to a wider readership and give greater coverage to the prime function of shipping. Previously published as 'Kemp & Young's Cargo Work', this new edition has been fully revised and expanded to reflect unit load systems while retaining the necessary detail on transporting key classes of cargoes safely, efficiently and profitably. The book covers general principles and the latest international regulations that affect cargo work, including the IMO Codes of Safe Working Practice for Merchant Seafarers and Stowage and Securing Cargoes, the IMDG Code and ISPS Code. It also details cargo types and handling, providing a ready guide to the key characteristics of a wide range of cargo classes. Cargo Work will be a useful reference for students and serving ships' crew, further enhanced by the inclusion of self assessment exercises. Author David J House is a Senior Lecturer in Nautical Studies at Fleetwood Nautical Campus, UK.' - Maritime Journal, July 2005 Encompasses all the latest aspects of cargo handling, whilst retaining information on what used to be known as conventional or break bulk methods.
