2009-2010 Edition
Present on the bridge of the majority of commercial vessels, Guide to Port Entry is quite simply the most accurate and comprehensive port guide available to the shipping industry.
All featured data is the result of constant research and attention to detail, with worldwide authentication through the key port authorities and agents.
Information in the port guide is laid out in logical sequence in over 70 headings. Please see the text features for more information. Port maps, plans and mooring diagrams, many georeferenced, provide valuable help to shipmasters approaching unfamiliar ports and berths.
Many entries also benefit from ACE Reports (Actual Conditions Experienced) at given ports and facilities. This invaluable information, supplied by shipmasters, officers and others at the front end of the maritime industry, provides a unique insight into the facilities and conditions encountered by fellow seafarers.
