Summary:

This book provides an outline of the Ship-to-Ship transfer process, and how ship’s masters and officers can conduct this inherently dangerous activity safely. It is non-technical in detail making it an ideal resource for first-year students completing their studies in nautical science, or as a refresher resource for professionals already employed in the tanker sector. Moreover, this book would serve as a good handrail for shore-based personnel involved in planning and executing ship-to-ship transfers. It would be used a mid-range textbook for apprentices, officer cadets posted to crude/gas carriers. Due to its non-technical approach, accessible style and nature, the book would be good resource for students and teachers/trainers in the maritime field. In particular, this book shows the following features: Non-technical introduction Guidance for shore-based personnel involved in planning and executing ship-to-ship transfers Ideal refresher resource for professionals.
