The shipping industry is one of constant, dramatic change, and the period since the late 1990s is no exception. Driven by a multitude of factors, including globalization, technological advances, the demand for higher efficiency, and ever-larger boats, mergers and acquisitions have taken place to change the playing field of the industry immensely. Here David Hucknall delves into his collection of unique black-and-white and color pictures to highlight the changing scene of the merchant shipping industry since the late 1990s, documenting its fast-paced development through stunning photography. Taken primarily in the UK, but also in important ports such as Hamburg and Vancouver, all are complemented by diligently researched, informative captions, making this volume a must read for all modern shipping enthusiasts.
