Very often you hear different maritime/shipping terms being bandied about during the course of many conversations and communications..
Terry Hutson, through his Ports & Ships website one of the respected shipping journalists in South Africa has compiled a list of various maritime and shipping terms from various sources.. You can read about many of the maritime terms and their meanings at http://ports.co.za/maritime-terms.php..
Some of the terms maybe directly relevant to you and the work that you do, some may not be, but it never hurts to learn..
Learn and enjoy..
