59,000 distances and almost 500 ports around the world

'Reed's Marine Distance Tables' are the perfect ready-reckoner for any navigator wanting a quick and accurate distance reference between all the regularly used ports around the world.

The book is divided into key 'market areas', and includes a pull-out map for area identification and chartlets for easy see-at-a-glance port reference. Traffic Separation Schemes are calculated into the tables and the distance to any port not included can easily be determined by making an approximation from the next closest port.

240pp, paperback, 210 x 148mm, 4 colour area maps of the world and detailed area maps. 2007 edition.

The subjects treated in this book are those commonly required in mechanical and marine engineering, including naval architecture. The formulae are graduated to cover the subjects at all stages from technician level to degree, from cadet level to Extra First Class Certificate. Inevitably some specialised or favourite formulae will have been omitted, so after each subject a few blank pages have been provided to allow extra formulae and design data to be recorded.
