The handbook gives concise explanations of the many activities that comprise shipping, explaining the terms and how they interrelate.

The many extra costs and surcharges found in shipping, particularly in liner shipping

Chartering terms, an explanation of each and their context

Clauses appearing in bills of lading, in voyage charters and time charters

Technical elements of shipping as they relate to the commercial operation of ships, for example tides and draughts
