For several decades Nicholls's Seamanship has served as a standard text-book for ship's officers and cadets. It is intended to cover most aspects of Seamanship to a sufficient standard for all grades of examination and to provide an introduction to Ship Construction, Stability and Cargo Work for practical requirements aboard ship. Signalling and some aspects of Shipmasters' Business are also covered.
Extensive changes have been made in this edition due to recent developments and amendments to regulations. The chapter on Life-saving Appliances has been completely revised and the chapter on Firefighting has been changed to take account of the requirements of the IMO Safety of Life at Sea Convention and the latest regulations for U.K. ships. The chapter on Deck Appliances has been withdrawn.
Several amendments to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea came into force in November, 1995, and the revised Regulations are incorporated in this edition. The IALA Maritime Buoyage System is described for all regions of the world and references to the previous Uniform System have been deleted.
