The Hamburg Port Book

What's a "Tallyman", what does a "Lasher" do? How many bottles of beer actually fit in a container? How long does it take to discharge a container ship? And what happens with the millions of "fake" sport shoes that land in Hamburg from China? The "Hamburg Port Book" supplies the answers in a spirited and detailed account of the port. A book not simply for those passionate about ships but rather a tour de force for all who appreciate Hamburg the city and its port.
