E-Book Overview
This book tells us much about the way all aspects of shipping have become codified and the enormous burden placed upon those in responsible positions to know, understand and implement correct practices. Malcolm Maclachlan has undertaken the Herculean task of compiling international, commercial and national legislation into one great volume with a style and precision which will be readily appreciated by all who need to know the current regulations covering maritime operations. His outstanding work has been recognised by the UK Government’s Maritime and Coastguard Agency who have made this book essential reading for certificates of competency. <span class="post-b">Доп. информация: Все вопросы коммереческой и правовой деятельности при осуществлении морских перевозок.
