Significant changes in the bulk carrier industry over recent years have prompted The Nautical Institute to publish a fully updated second edition of Bulk Carrier Practice.
When the popular first edition was published by The Nautical Institute in 1993 there were 5,000 ships in the bulk carrier fleet – expanding by mid 2009 to about 7,000, with some 3,000 newbuildings on order. The fleet is growing – and so are individual vessels so many of today’s bulk carriers are significantly larger than their predecessors.
As the fleet grows, and average vessels sizes get larger, so regulation has proliferated and the second edition is timely, covering these issues in an enlarged and well-illustrated volume with an accompanying CD. It takes account of innovations in good practice and of the substantial number of new regulations and codes introduced since the first edition including:
• SOLAS and MARPOL amendments • The IMSBC Code
• The ISM Code • The ISPS Code
• The BLU Code
Increasing use of computers on board vessels, improvements in communications and changes in shipboard procedures and practices are all fully recognised in this new book, which provides detailed advice on planning and implementation of work aboard bulk carriers and important technical udates on the carriage of grain, coal and steel coils; and information on the carriage of cement.
The CD contains four operating manuals and structural drawings.

Extensive new appendices provide advice on subjects as diverse as eliminating taint from fishmeal cargoes before loading flour to the maintenance of coatings in ballast tanks and holds.
Information is given on developments such as double skinned bulk carriers.
The number of illustrations has been considerably increased and most are in colour; the layout and clarity of the stability calculations have been improved. The book describes practical matters in plain language and is essential reading for:
• Bulk carrier Masters and deck officers • Shipping lawyers
• Superintendents • Maritime arbitrators
• Marine consultants • Nautical college lecturers
• Surveyors • P&I Club claims handlers
Input from active mariners, surveyors and operators ensures that the advice iscurrent and appropriate.
Robert Lorenz-Meyer, President and Chairman BIMCO said: ‘Anyone in the bulk carrier industry will benefit from reading Bulk Carrier Practice. It deserves to be on the bookshelf on the bridge of all bulk carriers, and in the offices of all bulk carrier operators.
