Safety and Security at Sea is concerned with the safe operation of
ships and consequently with preventing errors and oversights. This
book contributes to safety where it is most effective - right at
the site of work, on board the ship itself. It is here,
indisputably, that it will prevent accidents and save lives. It
translates theory into practice besides covering several new and
current topics. This book is aimed at every deck officer - at every
rank and on all ships.
The book also attends to other manifest needs and discusses
piracy, stowaways, management of crew on board and several other
new and current topics in the interest of safety.
All deck officers will find, when preparing for professional
examinations, that the area which the oral section of these
examinations at any level (Class One, Two or Three) cover - safety
- is the one in which this book specialises. It will be an
invaluable aid in passing these exams. By discussing essential
details in every part of a voyage, parts that form different
subjects in the theoretical section, it becomes an excellent
reference book for them. In addition, it will also asist the staff
of shipping companies in compiling ship operation manuals.
