Atlantic Container Line 1967-2017 : A 50 year journey of innovative excellence /Philip Parker

Atlantic Container Lines (ACL) is the longest continually operating container line in existence. This book records its creation and growth over its first 50 years, during which time containerisation revolutionised the shipping industry; ACL was the first European carrier, and the second overall, to embrace the concept with dedicated container ships. The vessel Atlantic Conveyor was one of the first merchant vessels requisitioned as part of the Royal Navy Task Force during the Falklands conflict. The book contains details of the ACL vessel fleet with extensive colour photos.
