This is the essential manual for every yacht captain and all those aspiring to become one. It outlines the correct protocol for keeping watch to STCW-95 standards and the procedures to be followed on the bridge of every yacht irrespective of the vessel's flag state or the ensign flying at her stern. It caters specifically to the needs and requirements of large yachts and the professional crews that man them.

Packed with essential information and useful checklists it covers: Bridge organisation Duties of an OOW Principles of operation and maintenance of equipment...

This book contains invaluable reference tables and maths formulae for trainee and professional marine engineers.

Focussing on subjects most commonly required in mechanical and marine
engineering (including a section on naval architecture), the formulae
are graduated to cover the subjects at all stages from technician level
to degree, from cadet level to the Extra First Class Certificate.

After each subject, there are blank pages in which extra design data
and formulae can be added, and where the understanding of basic
concepts is particularly...

This book presents the principles covered by the DoT examination papers
in Engineering Knowledge, Instruments and Control Systems for Masters
(foreign-going). It also briefly revises the General Physics for Second
Mate syllabus which is included in the Master's examination. Although
intended primarily for Masters, it will provide all deck and
engineering officers and cadets with an understanding of basic
engineering and control systems used on merchant vessels. It covers
most of the BTEC requirements, as well as the National Diploma in
Maritime Technology.

This book gives a complete picture of the Maritime Transport Industry so that those involved with shipping can see their own specific field of interest in perspective and understand how the basic model of this mode of transport operates.
