Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Entering the fray of shipping policy debate, this book begins by examining the shortcomings in the government's handling of the issue. The author claims they have failed to properly support the industry in terms of freight insurance and requisitioned ship rates, whilst also refusing compensation for war-related damage or downtime whilst vessels are repaired. The book goes on to outline how the submarine threat will likely diminish as the war continues and highlights the importance of the shipping industry to the war effort by arguing that there is much the civilian population can do to lessen the burden of wartime shipping on the government. The book concludes by arguing that it is vital for the industry to have a close relationship with the government because nationalisation is the only alternative to close cooperation. Whether you agree with the author's position or not, this book provides a well-argued and thought-provoking examination of the government's shipping policy, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the maritime industry.
