The
Shipping Revolution: The Modern Merchant Ship
by Robert Gardiner, Alastair Couper
Book Description: THE SHIPPING REVOLUTION: THE MODERN MERCHANT SHIP
Since the end of the Second World War the pattern of international trade
- and the ships in which it is carried-
has changed dramatically. Competition from air travel gradually displaced
the liner, but with increased leisure passenger ships staged a comeback
in the form of cruise ships. The burgeoning demand for oil fuel produced
the supertanker, while moves to streamline cargo handling led to containerization
and other forms of unitized shipment for many general trades. However,
entirely new ship types were also developed to carry cargoes as diverse
as cars and chemicals, livestock and nuclear waste.
The postwar rehabilitation of the world's merchant fleets initially
involved traditional ship types, but this volume charts the accelerating
pace of change from about 1960 onwards. While primarily describing the
rapid advances in maritime technology, it also points to the political,
economic and social reasons for these, and looks at likely developments
in the future.
Lavishly illustrated, this complete and informative volume includes
over 175 black-and-white photos, over 30 illustrations, and over 40 tables.
