A Seamanship Manual for the 21st Century Mariner
21st Century Seamanship is a definitive 1,300-page manual for modern maritime professionals. Ten years in the making, it blends centuries of traditional seamanship with today’s technical and operational realities, covering everything from ship types and onboard procedures to legislation, stability, emergency response and leadership.
Written to support both certification studies and long-term professional reference, this comprehensive guide offers broad, practical coverage of equipment, regulations, safety, inspections, salvage, drills, pollution prevention and much more. It positions itself not just as a book for exams, but a career-long resource for seafarers across all ranks and vessel types.
In his foreword, David Cotterell of OCIMF reflects on the vital role of seamanship in the safety and efficiency of today’s global fleet. He highlights the value of this publication in bridging regulatory requirements with real-world competence, at a time when ship systems grow ever more complex and operational risk remains ever-present. The book also includes analysis of major incidents, offering practical insights into human factors and safety-critical decision making.
