The Shipmaster's Business Self-Examiner 11th Edition, 2024

Includes:

• Guidance on preparing for Master’s Orals
• Question-and-answer format
• Maritime regulations and guidance
• Master’s responsibilities

For 26 years The Shipmaster’s Business Self-Examiner has been the indispensable companion for all mariners studying for their MCA Master’s Orals exams. As a study aid, it is unrivalled.

This 11th edition retains the familiar question-and-answer format of its predecessors but has been redesigned to provide a much-improved user experience. Navigation through the complexities of the Master’s duties has been eased by splitting the subject into 114 topics.

The text has been completely revised and updated to the end of Q1/2024, re­flecting the many changes to maritime legislation and MCA guidance since Britain’s exit from the EU.

An introductory section provides practical guidance on preparing for and answering Master’s Orals. The Q&As follow closely the topics covered in recent Orals questions and better re­flect the needs of today’s shipping industry. The reorganisation of the material enhances the 11th edition’s value as a reference for the newly qualified Master and for all who have decision-making responsibilities at sea and onshore.
