Studying for any Certificate of Competency can be a daunting task, not made easier by the need to plough through weighty textbooks and legislative publications. Cargo Notes provides a comprehensive and usable alternative, covering the key sections of the Cargo Syllabus for Deck Officers/OOW and summarising all relevant legislation and codes.
A handy, usable guide for anyone studying towards a certificate of competency, Cargo Notes is a comprehensive guide to the key sections of the cargo syllabus for Deck Officers/OOW.
Split into two sections covering both dry and liquid and gas cargoes, Cargo Notes provides key points and summaries on all relevant Legislation and Codes and an Operational Overview for all of the main cargo types, from Bulk Carriers, RoRos, Reefers and Containers through to Tankers and Liquefied Gas Carriers.
FOREWORD
‘Cargo Notes’, by Dhananjay Swadi, gathers together in one place a wealth of factual information that is taken from a variety of well respected and recognised sources, including official publications, concerned with the carriage and handling of cargoes. The information is presented in a logical and clear format comprising two wellindexed sections, the first on Dry Cargoes and the second on Liquid and Gas. Within each section, the basic concepts behind safe carriage are first considered, and then progressively developed, to show the modern methods utilised in today’s Shipping Industry.
Cargo Notes is ideally suited to seafarers preparing to sit written or oral examinations leading to Deck Officer Certificates of Competency. It is also a relevant reference work for onboard usage and as a guide for cargo watchkeeping Officers. It is an ideal companion to sister publications from Seamanship International (now Witherby Seamanship) on Seamanship and Ship Stability and is a worthwhile addition to any nautical library.
