Reeds Marine Distance Tables 18th edition

Reeds Marine Distance Tables are the perfect ready-reckoner for captains, navigators, and owners of merchant and cruise ships, both large and small, seeking 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, while 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, are provided, along with Transatlantic distances, world time zones, and time and speed conversion tables. This edition not only incorporates general updates and improvements but has also been expanded to include more Indian Ocean ports and routes reflecting the increasing role of China in international shipping. Additionally, it provides inter-distance tables for the Adriatic and Aegean seas. Freighter movements, cargo tonnage, and cruise ship destinations have all been considered when detailing the top ten busiest ports worldwide. Reeds Marine Distance Tables is an invaluable reference for ship owners, operators, brokers, navigators, and superyacht skippers. With this single reference, anyone can calculate the shortest or most economical distances between all the major ports in the world.
