SUPPLY SHIP OPERATIONS

    

The third edition of "Supply Ship Operations" is now available for purchase through this website.

The third edition of this book considers the changes in the working environment  and the ships doing the job, since the first edition was published in 1991. It contains practical guidance on many of the activities undertaken by anchor-handlers and platform ships. Retained are chapters on ship-handling, the carriage of cargo, working with semi-submersibles and jack-ups, towing and emergencies, and there are new chapters on operations, accidents and safety. The text is supported by 100 colour photos and 15 diagrams. It is a soft back book 17 cm x 24 cm, and is intended primarily to assist those entering the supply vessel business at all levels.

The book was first offered for £27.50, then when published by OPL it cost £95.00 to the distress of individual seafarers. This edition is offered at £27.50 including post and packing to anywhere in the world for a limited period.
