Tanker Operations: A Handbook for the Ship's Officer

xiv, 207 pp. "...a straightforward handbook on the basic problems of tanker operations. It is directed primarily toward the newcomer to tankers; specifically, the new officer. Generally speaking, it is not a step-by-step manual covering every possible situation. Instead, it is intended as: An introductory guide designed to make the new officer's adjustment to tanker life smoother, less perilous; a source of useful information for the more experienced officer; a reference book for other individuals interested in the operations of oil tankers, particularly those aspiring to the rating of tankerman."
