The 11th edition of this popular guide has been completely revised and expanded to take account of the latest changes to maritime regulations and procedures.

It is the most up-to-date book on maritime legislation encompassing changes made to UK law and maritime guidance as a result of Brexit and changes to STCW, BWMC, MARPOL, MLC and other conventions.

Designed primarily as a study aid for Master’s Orals, the book is also used by OOW and Chief Mate students and has drawn the praises of many successful Orals candidates in the UK and overseas. More than 4,200 questions and answers are set out in nine logically arranged sections.

For ships’ and nautical college libraries and for use within the classroom this is an indispensable volume. It is also a handy reference for serving Shipmasters, shore superintendents, ship operators and all who need to keep up to date with the frequent and bewildering changes in merchant ship regulation and commercial practice.

The author is a former Shipmaster and ex-maritime college lecturer with more than 25 years experience in preparing students for MCA examinations.

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.
