Revised Edition of ‘Scheepskennis’
Dokmar has released the third edition of ‘Scheepskennis’ (ISBN 978-90-71500-13-8). The book – at EUR 69.50 per copy (multiple copies at a discount) – has been extensively revised to reflect the state-of-the-art developments in maritime technology and is the Dutch-language identical twin of the latest edition of ‘Ship Knowledge’.
Worldwide ‘Ship Knowledge’ has received enthusiastic reviews for its lucid style, its readability and its detailed information. In sixteen chapters the reader is led along clearly explained subjects. Laws and regulations, electronics, safety, cargo and propulsion systems are discussed in great detail. The various ship’s types and offshore constructions are dealt with.
On the principle that ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’ the book’s texts are contained in three columns per page accompanied by apt colour illustrations of superb quality. Theories and technologies besides practical matters are elucidated by means of colour pictures, illustrations, cross-sections, CAD images and detailed numbered drawings. Now rather tough subjects like e.g. legislation are easily grasped.
This book is a must for anyone who now or in the future, in whatever function or position, has to deal with shipping in the widest sense of the word. For many years to come it will be a handy book of reference. The website gives a brief preview of each chapter and the procedure for placing orders. Dokmar also publishes other popular maritime works, such as ‘Stabiliteit’ and ‘Verkeersregels op Zee’. Please consult the web shop for more information or call +31 (0)6 1250 61 50.
