    Supercargo Operations: An Introduction

    £112.00
    If you’re looking for a broad overview of supercargo operations, this will certainly cover off the essentials. It’s of particular relevance to readers looking to direct their career towards a consultancy or supervisory role in this field, giving a good understanding of the industry and the position of a ‘supercargo’ in particular. While some form of shipping-related experience is expected, author Mike Wall does a commendable job of making the subject accessible to complete novices too. No easy task.

    Published January 2021

    The main object of the marine adventure is to safely carry cargo from its loading port to its discharge port so that it arrives in good condition and as intended. Clearly, to ensure this the cargo must be stowed and carried in an appropriate manner. There are many types of cargo carried aboard ships of different designs and no single person has all knowledge about all cargoes. However, there are some who have specific knowledge and experience to supervise such operations. These persons are usually marine consultants or superintendents who specialise in cargoes and are known as the 'Supercargo'.

    This book is aimed at helping those aspiring to this role in their career progression, choices and actions. Whilst becoming a Supercargo appears to be a natural progression for a cargo superintendent, it is not necessarily automatic. Whilst it might be expected that readers of this book will have some form of shipping related experience, the text is also aimed at those who may have no shipping experience at all. The book will provide a sound basis and knowledge of the many aspects of cargo operations particularly with respect to the supercargo’s role. It is not intended to be a comprehensive compendium covering all aspects of the subject, hence the title – an introduction. However, there is sufficient depth in the material provided to be able to gain a good understanding of the industry to be able to make informed views. You will gain a basic understanding of the role of the Supercargo and the reasons for such assignments. As there are legal implications related to Supercargo assignments these will be covered so that you will understand why you need to protect yourself.


    The various types of cargo and their hazards are covered with specific loading techniques.
    The book has a comprehensive table of contents, table of figures, list of tables and and extensive index.

    MS SeaReader - Catalogue

    SeaReader 1.6 includes many minor changes and bug fixes. New Edition was released September 2023.

    SeaReader is a digital technical catalogue for use on board vessels or in the office. It stores all of the publications that are needed on board and displays them in a digital format that is fast and easy to use.

    New Editions
    Publications that are in the announcements section of the distributor portal will also appear as “New Publications” in SeaReader. They will be at the top of the Catalogue view and be marked with a yellow star.

    Offline Mode
    SeaReader can now operate without any internet connection. The user must provide their distributor with an Activation file from the settings window of a SeaReader client.

    Custom Notes
    Users are now able to add their own custom notes to the publications inside SeaReader. These notes can then be searched for and the user can jump to the page for easy access to important content. Notes can also be exported and shared to other users. This will allow educators to share premade notes with students or shipping companies to indicate important items of text in a publication.

    eBooks are available to purchase individually or in bulk and once installed, the SeaReader is easy to use.

    The digital library is easy to access and update and you don’t need to be online to access the publications. SeaReader makes compliance inspections easy by having the latest mandatory publications on board at all times.
    The shipping costs and administration associated with maintaining a paper library are removed - there are no physical books to ship and the entire library is updated with the click of a button.

    SeaReader contains Flag State Regulations from Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Canada, Cayman Islands, Cyprus, Denmark, Hong Kong, Isle of Man, Liberia, Malta, Marshall Islands, Netherlands, Norway, Panama, Singapore, United Kingdom, USA and Red Ensign Group. Included e-books from IMO, Brown, Son & Ferguson, Imray, and a growing list of other maritime publishers.

    SeaReader keeps the administrative work on board to a minimum as the latest set of publications are always available.
    The easy to use system makes it quick and easy to see what books are on board the vessel. One annual licence provides access to paid for ebooks on two separate PCs.

    SeaReader is simple, very easy and intuitive to use. With one-click updating and filtered search results, it is quick and easy to find the information you need. There is no need for additional work to make sure your vessel is flag state compliant, as SeaReader does this for you.
