This publication has been revised to incorporate the latest guidance and practical advice for ships transiting the Great Barrier Reef and Torres Strait. It offers additional clarity on subjects such as maximum draught and UKC requirements and Australian MARPOL areas. This is a reliable resource for any crew navigating the region.

The Guide to Port Entry 2021 provides accurate and comprehensive information on over 17,900 global commercial ports and terminals. With over 80 port information sections, it ensures that a complete port overview can be obtained before arrival, including pre-arrival information, details of the documentation required by the port, maximum size of vessel permissible and cargo facilities. It also includes reports of actual conditions experienced by other seafarers visiting that port.

It maps the syllabus content of the relevant Certificate of Competency (CoC) for Marine Engineering and Deck Officers, following the STCW Code, including the 2010 Manila Amendments, laid down by the IMO.

Following the scanning of some 45,000 slides into jpeg images covering the period 1966 to 2006 it was noted that reefer ships featured prominently. Nearly 500 different vessels photographed mostly around the Thames, Medway, Dover, and some European ports. From this around 170 ships are depicted in this book showing the sleek lines and colour schemes of the variety of ships seen & photographed, many of which are long gone.

Following the success of the previous books, and with so much more material available, the author received many requests to compile another book, but not just about shipping on the River Thames but to include shipping on the River Medway. To give as much variety as possible he has tried to not only depict ships of yesteryear but also many of the different types of vessels now using the various terminals and jetties.
