Baudu Herve. Ship Handling

Dokmar Maritime Publishers B.V., 2019. — 269 p.The present work undertakes to address manouvering from a theoretical perspective, drawing lessons from the latest research using simulated ship manouvering, together with practical examples and the valuable experience of marine pilots, who have made significant contributions to this book.
The work consists of three parts: the first sets out the ship's capabilities and its manoeuvering gear; the second considers the forces which set the ship moving, and the last one describes the ship as it manoeuvres (mooring, sailing in shallow waters, port manoeuvres, etc.).
This work is aimed at both students at maritime training schools begining to train in ship manoeuvering, as well as experienced ship handlers who wish to further their own sjills in this vast area.
