Shiphandling - Passenger Ships Without Tugs/Управление Судами - Пассажирские суда без буксиров

Издание на английском языке
Captain Nick Nash has written a much needed practical and informative book on how to manoeuvre large modern passenger vessels and ferries that have multi-engines, nidders and thrusters. He has also included a chapter on handling ships with POD propulsion.
