The reader learns how tricky it is to transport gas turbines from their Berlin production site to a Turkish power plant, how to deliver converter platforms to offshore wind farms or to ship natural gas cargoes from Qatar to Japan. The deployment of emergency tugs, rescue and hospital ships are just as much a topic as the supposed sunny sides of shipping on luxury liners and mega yachts.
