Port State Control, Second Edition is a comprehensive publication dealing with the full implications and regulations of port State control. It provides a detailed analysis of the legal framework relating to port State control, including the most recent developments in this area. It covers not only the regional agreements on port State control and the EU legislation on this subject but also the background of the port State control process, its implications in practice and its effect on the ISM Code and the classification societies.

The aim in compiling this dictionary has been to provide a reference book for all those who use or operate cargo ships, both tramp and liner, or who are concerned with their use. The principal areas covered voyage and time charters; documentation, including bills of lading; ship types and their gear; ports, their equipment and facilities; cargoes and their packing; geographical and weather features; as well insurance and reinsurance; CMR expressions, international sale of goods.

The Chart Correction Template includes stencils for Region A & B IALA Maritime Buoyage symbols that are required for updating and correcting nautical charts. Keeping charts updated ensures the safety of your crew and vessel. Designed for use with a fine-line pen, corrections to nautical charts can be made neatly and quickly with this simple-to-use stencil. These corrections then become a permanent part of the chart. Corrections should be made in ink so they will not be accidentally erased when you are plotting courses on the chart. Please reference US Nautical Chart No. 1 or UK Admiralty Chart 5011 for assistance with symbol identification. This is an exact replica of the Chart Correction Template formerly prepared and published by the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA).
