Description
Seamanship Techniques, since its first publication in 1987, has now evolved to this fifth edition and is available in all the maritime nations of the world. The text, being changed considerably over the years, meets increased technology and safety demands of an up-to-date Mercantile Marine. New legislation has dictated marine operations are now conducted under the International Safety Management Code and require a far greater consideration and risk assessment.
New ships, with improved technology, have become more complex and our mariners require some of the old skills, while at the same time embracing the new skills of the computer age. The onboard equipment necessitates the need for improved engineering concepts amongst the modern deck officer’s role. Electronics and control engineering now encroach on the cargo operations as well as the ship’s navigation. Cranes and cargo doors work alongside ECDIS and AIS. While rope work and the parallel rules may have taken a back seat, they remain gainfully employed alongside striking innovation.
