It is with considerable pride that Gard is publishing for the first time in its own right this Gard Guidance to Masters. Although guidance has been given in the Gard List of Correspondents over many years, there has never been such a comprehensive Gard publication giving detailed guidance to masters as this one. Gard strives to be at the forefront in providing assistance to Members and others in connection with P&I incidents and it is my hope and expectation that masters and others around the world will find this publication beneficial.
It gives me great pleasure to sincerely thank all those who have worked on and contributed to this work. In particular, I wish to extend my warm thanks and gratitude to Captain Ronald Wohrn. Captain Wohrn has been known to Gard for over 20 years. His experience as a master mariner, lawyer, and P&I correspondent makes him the ideal candidate to write the Gard Guidance to Masters, which is borne out by the excellent work he has done. Although he has worked closely with the Gard editorial team and relied on the expertise of others from Gard, he alone undertook the mammoth task of writing the guidance. He is to be congratulated on the achievement of his goal to provide masters, and others, with concise, sound advice in an easily accessible form and simple language.
It is our ambition that this Gard Guidance to Masters will assist the Master, in both loss prevention and loss control, when incidents occur which may give rise to liabilities for the shipowner. In the best interest of mutuality we hope that this easy reference and practical book will be put to good use.
