Great introduction to the Petroleum Shipping industry, 2003-10-13
Being new to this part of the petroleum value chain, I found this book very useful, interesting and quite easy to read.
It introduces the most important concepts and facts about the petroleum shipping industry progressively, clearly and with plenty of examples. By reading this book you'll gain a very good understanding of the types of vessels, what they are most appropriate for, the economics, the trading patterns of crude, products, LPG and LNG, Oil spill liabilities and the history of the petroleum shipping industry.
The only thing that prevents me to give it a five stars ranks: Some of the graphics illustrating the concepts are not easy to read (why 3D?) Some of the clear descriptions of the vessels hardware would be much clear if illustrated with pictures or drawings. Anyway, a great book
