This new publication covers the topic of Heavy Lifts within the marine industry. It is profusely illustrated and is directly aimed at the many industry sectors including: salvage operations, the offshore section, with the ship building and repair sectors, as well as the cargo aspects of the maritime environment. The movement of bulk cargoes, both dry and liquid has expanded considerably alongside increased development in the third world. However, this expansion has not been limited to just bulk cargoes. Containerisation, roll on, roll off and designated project cargoes are all sectors which have seen increased activity in the field of heavy lifting practice.
