The ins and outs of a cargo ship
Shipping companies like to think they are with it; their ships are the most modem, their seamen, the best, and their cargo handling methods the very latest.
The Hamburg-based Columbus Line is no exception and it hopes to convince not a few people in the Islands that this is so.
To increase its share of Islands trade, the company has brought out a book on medium-sized cargo vessels, called Everything about a Ship and its Cargo.
The book will be of special value to customs and shipping agents, exporters, marine insurers and port people, as it explains in great detail how a modern cargo ship operates. Drawings and pictures are first class.
Copies available from Colom bus Sydney office on request.
