Industry Reviews This unique dictionary covers both the economic and engineering aspects of ports, waterways, and shipping. Unlike other nautical or maritime dictionaries, the center of interest here is the use of the ship in commerce, traffic, transport, and economics, rather than the ship itself. The engineering aspects are related to the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of harbors, channels, waterways, canals, locks, and bridges, and all types of facilities and navigational equipment. The terms have been derived from the most recent relevant literature, written by scientists in their native language. Where appropriate, short explanations have been added.
