Opis

This manual contains all the information needed for command posts at sea. All aspects of shipboard management are discussed with special emphasis placed on health and safety. The book demonstrates how to respond to accidents and emergencies at sea, in the event, for example, of cargo contamination, collision, loss of stability due to cargo shift and damage due to flooding, fire, plus loss of life/crew. In addition, the SOLAS revisions and a discussion of marine law is included for information on rules and regulations. There are also a number of worked examples in the text, along with questions and answers at the end of chapters.
