Sixth edition of cargo stowage bible published
(June 15 2012)
Despite the sixth edition of `Thomas' Stowage', the bible for the properties
and stowage of cargoes on board ship, being primarily aimed at the general
cargo/bulk markets, there is advice given on bulk oil, chemical and gas cargoes.
Within the 365-page reference work are paragraphs dedicated to the liquid
chemical cargoes, tank cleaning, tank coating, cargo lines and fittings, loaded
passage recommendations, safety with reference to the IBC code and pollution
prevention.
Other sections deal with LNG and LPG as cargo. The carriage of animal and
vegetable oils and fats is also examined.
At the back of the book is a substantial section listing various conversion
factors and other calculations, including vegetable and animal oils constants
and the approximate specific gravity and density of oils at common handling
temperatures.
There is also a comprehensive list of commodities, mainly dry, their
requirements and characteristics and at the back of the book can be found a
10-page index.
`Thomas' Stowage- Sixth Edition' is published by Brown, Son & Ferguson
(www.skipper.co.uk), 365 pp, illus, price £95.
