Reeds Marine Distance Tables are the perfect ready-reckoner for
captains, navigators and owners of merchant and cruise ships large and
small wanting a quick and accurate distance reference between all the
regularly used commercial ports around the world. They are also of
increasing value to the superyacht fleet.
The book is divided into key 'market areas', and includes a pull-out map
for area identification and easy see-at-a-glance port reference. Traffic
Separation Schemes are calculated into the tables whilst the distance to
any port not included can easily be determined by making an
approximation from the next closest port. Useful tables of major
'turning points' around the world (such as Cape Finisterre, Cape Horn
and the Dover Straits), Transatlantic distances, world time zones, and
time and speed conversion tables are also included.
As well as incorporating general updates and improvements, this edition
has been expanded to include distances for the Faroes, Shetlands and
Orkneys. Freighter movements, cargo tonnage and cruise ship destinations
have all been factored into considering details on the top ten busiest
ports worldwide.
