LLOYD’S<br />
MARITIME ATLAS<br />
OF WORLD PORTS AND SHIPPING PLACES<br />
This is the 24th edition of the Lloyd’s Maritime <strong>Atlas</strong>, the premier reference guide to the world’s ports and shipping<br />
places.<br />
Fully updated and revised to reflect changes in port and country names and international borders, the latest edition is<br />
again supplemented with a FREE CD Rom, which gives the book enhanced portability. In this edition, 225 port places<br />
have been added to the geographical index.<br />
The <strong>Atlas</strong> provides precise latitude and longitude co-ordinates, details of the main canals and river systems, weather<br />
conditions, load line zones, international airports, plus details on principal road and rail connections. In addition, the<br />
<strong>Atlas</strong> features world and regional marine distance tables, a comprehensive user guide and detailed statistics on commercial<br />
vessel movements, characteristics and casualties.<br />
Featuring world maps, regional maps and larger scale maps for the busiest shipping areas, the book also encompasses<br />
a unique indexing system which allows users to search for ports on both a geographical and alphabetical basis.The use<br />
of full colour throughout adds to the user friendliness of the <strong>Atlas</strong>.<br />
The <strong>Atlas</strong> is designed to be used in conjunction with the Lloyd’s List Ports of the World annual publication. By cross<br />
referencing between the two books, users can glean full details on cargo-handling facilities and services provided at all<br />
the major ports and shipping centres across the globe.<br />
