The book connects theory and basic rules to practical situations where vessels are to be handled in ports and narrow waters.<\/p>\n<p>The cooperation between pilot, shipmaster, bridge team, tugboats, and port services is central. The exchange of information about the vessel and the planned voyage forms the basis for everyone to contribute to a controlled operation. The presentation is therefore also relevant for officers who do not themselves navigate the ship throughout the entire maneuver.<\/p>\n<p>The book discusses maneuvering under various conditions, with and without tug assistance. It emphasizes that good solutions depend on the ship, equipment, and circumstances, and that several approaches can be defensible. The reading provides a theoretical foundation that must be further developed through practical experience and training.<\/p>\n<p>The publication is in <strong>English<\/strong> and is published by Brown, Son &#038; Ferguson Ltd.
