The Work of the Harbour Master, 3rd Edition, 2012

The book is linked to the Institute’s self-study Scheme leading to a Harbour Master’s Certificate.

The work of the Harbour Master is complex and, at times, difficult. This book explains the different responsibilities that vary between ports and shows, from the experience of Harbour Masters, examples of what new entrants to the industry may encounter. This book draws on the expertise of Harbour Masters from all over the world, and from ports large and small, commercial and recreational. It looks at different aspects of the Harbour Master role, largely following the course of a vessel as it approaches port until she berths, including the commercial pressures that may be brought to bear. It will be valuable for new or aspiring Harbour Masters and those who have been called on to undertake new responsibilities. It supports The Nautical Institute’s Harbour Master Certification Scheme.
