All too often the movement of oil by ocean is something taken for granted by the majority of the world yet it is fraught with difficulty, and could haemorrhage global growth if issues covered in this book are not resolved or allowed to escalate.
From reporting onboard giant tankers to looking at the geopolitical shift in oil consumption, Oil on Water is holistic, all encompassing and engrossing look at the way oil is moved and consumed; mixing reportage, examples and hard-hitting facts.
Reviews / Votes
An insightful study of a subject vital to world shipping and trade. * Bob Jaques, Seatrade * East Asia's growing share of the 2 trillion tons of oil shipped each year across the world's oceans is one of the great, but little-told, stories of our age. By tracking this very literal shift of power from West to East, the authors provide invaluable insights into energy security, environmental pressure and areas of potential conflict and cooperation. * Jonathan Watts, author of When a Billion Chinese Jump * An engaging and informed book about vitally important, yet little-discussed areas in business and geopolitics. * Toby Webb, Ethical Corporation *More details
