Watchstanding Guide for the Merchant Officer

About this book

A comprehensive, professional guide to keeping watch on merchant ships, from equipment and preparation to crisis management.

On a merchant ship it is the watch officer who feels the full weight of responsibility for the safety of the vessel. This book not only helps a new watch officer shoulder that responsibility, but also reinforces the knowledge and skills of the experienced mate. Master mariner Robert J. Meurn details the complete scope of watchstanding duties, as well as the use of modern bridge equipment, voyage planning, ship-handling, and shipboard emergencies.

 Of special interest are the chapters on bridge simulation training and marine casualties. This new edition is updated to reflect the changes in the industry and now features real-life case studies. Packed full of examples, forms, and procedures, this guide is an indispensable tool for the professional mariner.
