Oilfield Seamanship Series, Vol. 4 (Towing) (1994)

Towing operations in the oilfield involve the movement of semi-submersibles, jack-ups and barges as well as specialist work such as the pulling of sub-sea ploughs and submerged pipeline bundles. This volume is mainly for Masters and officers of the tugs involved as well as Tow Masters, Marine Advisors and Warranty Surveyors. This book principally deals with the towing operation from the tugs viewpoint.

The Oilfield Seamanship series describes and explains the majority of standard techniques used in marine operations of the offshore oilfield. The series concentrates on Towing. Anchor Handling, Barge Mooring and Moving, the Operation of Jack-Up type vessels afloat, the practice of stability control on semi-submersibles and ballast control techniques on such vessels. The series of books are organised such that particular volumes are relevant to personnel on specific vessel types.
