SHIP KNOWLEDGE. Ship Design, Construction and OperationBy Klaas van Dokkum. Hardback, 1.66kg, 215mm x305mm, 384 pages, full colour photographs and illustrations, Published 2014.
Ship Knowledge is the the book that tells you all about ships and shipping. The parts and systems which together form a modern ship are dealt with, from design drafts up to the finished construction, including paint systems and legal aspect.
Detailed descriptions of the various subjects as well as the use of many drawings, pictures, and cross-section drawings, all in full colour, make the book perfectly readable for everybody interested in shipping.
After reading this book you will no longer think of a ship as a dead object, but consider it a completely self-supporting entity embodying all the modern techniques also to be found in a small town.
An indispensable book for anyone interested in modern shipping! Considering the ever growing number of foreign crew on board European vessels and in the offshore industry with consequently a growing demand for english language readers and textbooks.
Ship Knowledge will certainly prove to be an asset, not only for use at nautical colleges, but as a work of reference for everyone employed afloat nowadays.

SHIP HANDLING.
By Herve Baudu. Dokmar. Hardback, 1.25 kgs, 215mm x 300mm, 308 pages. 2018. 2nd Edition.
This book is divided into three sections. The first section describes the features of a ship and the different methods of manoeuvring it. The second section deals with the forces which influence the movement of a ship and the final section describes the factors which affect the ship during manoeuvres (mooring, sailing in shallows, manoeuvring in the docks, etc.). The emphasis is placed on external factors which can influence the manoeuvring characteristics of a ship. The initial approach is at a basic level, suitable for pilots in training, for example. The field of ship dynamics is then explored in more depth for seafarers with a greater knowledge of the subject. The book analyses all aspects of the manoeuvring features of ships on both open water and narrow waterways, with reference to the recommendations of the STCW Convention, which sets out the required manoeuvring abilities of helmsmen.

SHIP NAVIGATION.By Herve Baudu. Dokmar. Hardback, 1.53 kgs, 215mm x 300mm, 304 pages. 2016. 1st Edition.
This book teaches the art and science of navigating a ship from departure to destination without hitting the shore or shoals. The reader gets the flavour of the essential decisions that have to be taken daily in navigational work and how to arrive at the best choices
The book deals with both traditional and modern methods of navigation. There is still a demand for what can be called “traditional” methods, as can be understood from an analysis of investigations into recent incidents of vessels running aground or colliding.
The text deals with navigational problems and methods from a practical viewpoint and contains many pictures and step-by-step diagrams. This makes it easy for the reader to understand the situation when actually watch-keeping, as well as theoretical aspects of the problem at hand.
In spite of – or perhaps because of - the abundance of sophisticated electronic aids to navigation available today, the “Human Factor” is still recognised as a major obstacle to safe navigation. Numerous examples from accident reports and investigations are provided and how this unpredictable element impacts on watch-keepers and their ability to navigate safely at all times.
The combination of a text written by a Master Mariner with many years of watch-keeping experience on the high seas and coastal waters, combined with the excellent colour and black-and-white illustrations, makes this an essential text for every student of marine science. It will also appeal to many practising deck officers who want to keep up-to-date with the theory and practise of their important calling.

Onshore electical installations are sub-divided in power generation, high voltage distribution, switching, and low voltage distribution. These subjects are usually done by separate specialists. In a ship you have to understand the whole system.
This book provides some simplified principles of electricity and the specific requirements for ships. After reading this book you will have a basic knowledge of the principles of electricity and the special application onboard ships.

Stability is a difficult concept to define. The idea of a stable character is readily grasped, although it is harder to put into words. The same applies to the notion of a stable ship, as stability is an intangible and complex entity. Nevertheless, it plays an extremely important role in navigation. If a ship is unstable, there is immediate danger to ship, crew, passengers and the environment. Therefore, stability regulations have been established for all types of ships. Every crewmember of every type of ship is well versed in this domain.
The strength of this book is that stability is made visible, accessible and understandable for everyone through the many photos, figures and drawings contained within. It is highly suitable for all levels of professional training as well as for those involved with pleasure craft.
