'Lloyd’s List Ports of the World 2010' .

As a cruising sailor, you'll already know the importance of accurate, up-to-date information. But if you are going further afield than your local cruising ground, a well-found yacht library is a great boon.

For instance, cruising and marina guides are one thing, but do you know where to find key contact details for the world's commercial port facilities and services?

Arriving in a strange port can be a complicated process, and it's a help to know and understand what controls the commercial shipping that you need to negotiate to find the spot or berth that's suitable for you.

The 2010 Ports of the World directory gives you more than 1,000 pages of valuable information, meticulously researched by a team of industry experts to ensure its accuracy.

The brand new edition features over 20,000 port facilities and services and Port-Call Statistics recording the number of arrivals at each major port by specific vessel type.

The publication comes in a 2-volume boxed set today and contains:

..Port facts and statistics, including: exact port co-ordinates, approach details, maps, principal facilities, anchorage, pilotage and maximum vessel dimensions.
..The top 20 Container Ports by Container Traffic TEU throughputs.
..A review of all ship movements through major ports.
..Fully updated details of over 2,700 of the world's most commercially active ports.
..A comprehensive directory of Shipping Agents with over 3,500 new contacts.
..Over 4,000 harbours, 15,000 Wharves and 1,800 Berths.
..Lloyd's Agency contact for every port.

Much of the above information will not be of use to the leisure sailor, but it will give you an idea of the kind of port you can expect, and useful contacts. You'll no longer be floating around trying to make some sense out of the myriad of ship activities.

Whether you're looking for precise port co-ordinates, pre-arrival information or waste reception facilities, Lloyd's Ports of the World 2010 contains everything anyone needs to conduct business activities more effectively.
