Shipboard Management

By Simon Daniels

Shipboard Management supports students undertaking qualification at all stages of maritime training, enhancing and developing knowledge and understanding of the key issues in the Training and Certification Regulations - and beyond, for lifelong mastery, whether at sea or ashore.

Informed by real-world experience of commercial shipboard operations, Shipboard Management offers an essential study guide addressing the issues which are most frequently confronted in the context of ship management. It is designed to foster the ability to analyse and apply the dynamics of the legal and operational structures in which the shipboard management team must engage in merchant vessel operations. Students will progress through increasingly difficult levels of learning activity in order to develop problem-solving abilities. The text focuses on the application of skills and techniques that are fundamental to commercial shipping.

It is also a key reference for professionals in shipowning and management companies, and for maritime lawyers. It stands closely alongside the Shipmaster’s Business Self-Examiner.
