21st Century Seamanship

The book to get you through your exams and a reference for the rest of your career! This 1,200 page, full colour publication takes the traditional values of centuries of good seamanship and blends them with todays reality. It is essential reading for seafarers at every level, covering ship types, handling and stability, onboard procedures and equipment, regulations, emergency response, and much more. A career at sea or in a marine-related business requires amassing a terrific volume of knowledge and the art and practice of seamanship is perhaps one of the most encyclopedic job descriptions there is. Many modern day seafarers will hear talk of days gone by when no self-respecting Chief Officer would be without his Seamanship Manual. In recent decades, shipping seems to have moved at a tremendous pace and the need for a new up-to-date manual which captures such a broad scope in a single publication that appeals to the forward thinking seafarer is needed. This is exactly where this book, which has been ten years in the making, positions itself - a manual for the modern day seafarer in the 21st Century.
