Commercial shipping is, or it was until recently, in the middle of a huge boom. There has been a drematic change in the number of ships, a growing number of new greenfield shipyards to build them, and career opportunities by the thousand to man them, with concerns over standards and copetence respectively leading to a focus on training in the places.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article presents a summary of some of the arguments in Professior Phillip Bobbitt's latest book, Terro and Consent. Bobbitt argues that we have entered a new phase of terrorism, a pahse exemplified by al-Qaeda. He believes that if we are going to win the war on terror modern democracies need not only adopt new tactics but also to look again at their ethical principles and laws. The article examines three particular issues raised by Bobbitt's book: whether there is now such a thing as peace; whether torture can be justified; and whether we should develop a stronger doctrine of pre emptive deterrence or preclusion.

| Summary/Abstract |
Studying the rule of the road really hasn't changed much since I walked through front door of BRNC in 1975. There is still the next to be learned virtually verbatim, still the workshop to be gone through, and still the written test with frighteningly high passmark (70 per cent at first, rising to 90 per cent).

| Summary/Abstract |
When I first went to China in 1926, piracy was quite a common occurrence. The men controlling the pirates worked from Hong Kong, though the actual pirates themselves worked from Bias Bay, the next bay north-east of the Hong Kong territory, the whole of which was in Chinese hands. The practice was for the pirates to join a ship at Shanghai or another coastal port and take over the ship just before it got to Bias Bay.

| Summary/Abstract |
There were some pretty apocryphal remarks circulating on the island to the Turkish navy's visit to Malta in 1952, when it was said they considered themselves to have the finest fleet in the world, with the possible exception of the Royal Navy. In late Victorian times it had set out on a format visit to Malta but had returned to constantinople a couple of weeks later unable to find the island and had formally announced that Malta had sunk.
