A unique set of manuals from Capt Michael Hancox that provide the key to safe and efficient marine related offshore operations
Seamanship is the practical application of expertise in the working of vessels and their equipment. The skills are acquired by practice rather than by the study of written material.
Texts on seamanship can only hope to describe the equipment, techniques and aims of any particular operation so that personnel gain a basic understanding of what is being attempted. As skill level increases and more unusual or difficult operations are encountered the seamanship text book should give sufficient information and ideas on how a standard technique might be modified or adapted to suit a particular set of circumstances.
The Oilfield Seamanship series describes and explains the majority of standard techniques used in marine operations of the offshore oilfield. The series concentrates on Towing. Anchor Handling, Barge Mooring and Moving, the Operation of Jack-Up type vessels afloat, the practice of stability control on semi-submersibles and ballast control techniques on such vessels.
The series of books are organised such that particular volumes are relevant to personnel on specific vessel types.
