Peril at sea and salvage. A guide for masters/Морская опасность и спасение. Руководство для капитанов

Издания на английском языке
Fifth edition 1998
Until recent times, action taken to assist a ship in peril was directed solely towards saving lives and properly. Today, account must also be taken of the need to prevent damage to the environment and efforts made to prevent or mitigate such damage. The object of this guide is to provide information to assist masters in making decisions when confronted with a perilous situation. The guide has been prepared principally with oil tankers and gas carriers in mind, but much of the advice will be appropriate to other types of ships.

The development of regulations governing the safe operation and management of ships, emergency response preparedness and the adoption of a compliance culture have led to a reduction in shipping emergencies and major incidents. But, when they do occur, they often have a high impact and threaten the safety of personnel, ships, the environment and cargo. Many seafarers may never have experienced an emergency on board a ship. While this is a positive for shipping, it also means that seafarers may lack the anticipatory knowledge needed to deal with an emergency.
This Guide takes Masters through the actions to be taken when confronted with an emergency on board. The Guide has been prepared principally with oil tankers and gas carriers in mind, although most of the content will be equally appropriate to other types of ship.
