Review

"This second edition has been revised to incorporate recent amendments to the Collision Regulations... it allows mariners to benefit from the author's many years' experience, both as a lecturer and as a seafarer on many different types of vessel."
Maritime Journal, 2001.

Review of the previous edition:

"In part I the chapters on 'Wire work and rigging' and 'Lifting gear' are particularly good with very clear diagrams and descriptions. In part II the chapters on 'Preventing collisions at sea', 'Emergencies', 'Fire fighting' and 'Ship Handling' are all particularly worthy of mention, being extremely well written and lucid. This is an essential and practical guide for seamen..."
Marine Engineer's Review, 1995
