The shipyard of J J Sietas is arguably one of the best-known in northern Europe. From the mid-1950s a decision was made to classify the vessels according to types. A numerical scheme began with Karin in 1958. This scheme still continues to the present day. This second volume covers ships built from 1973 to 2021.

In its 13 articles and photo features, this limited edition hardback book from the publishers of the popular ¿Coastal Shipping¿ magazine looks at various aspects of coastal shipping throughout the world, specifically: an Oslo shipowner; Coasters in Canada; the port of Porthleven, Cornwall; Bunkering tankers; New Zealand cement carriers; Coasters as seen from Cruise Ships; the port of Lochaline, Scotland; the Zuid-Beveland Canal in the Netherlands; standard Russian coasters; Container ships built in Hamburg; the port of Leith; and sailing into central France.

Anyone visiting mainland Europe cannot fail to be impressed by the size of the canals and the quantity of commercial traffic, offering a viable and realistic alternative to the ever increasing use of lorries to transport freight. In this book the author presents to the reader vessels that have passed through with detailed information about each canal that is mentioned, accompanied by stunning photographs in an all colour album. Countries featured include France, Germany and the Netherlands in addition to the UK.

This album contains a second selection of stunning colour photographs of tugs that have visited ports in the Bristol area over the last fifty years. Each photograph is accompanied by an informative caption.
