The third edition of this book considers the changes in the working environment and the ships doing the job, since the first edition was published in 1991. It contains practical guidance on many of the activities undertaken by anchor-handlers and platform ships.

Index

PRICE £45.00 inc P&P, or on line - Witherby Seamanship have an ebook version of this volume.

This book is now getting towards the end of its print run, and it will not be reprinted and so the remaining limited number of copies are available at a higher price than previously. And bear in mind that the original price of the third edition was the same as the price in 1991. I wanted it to be available to everyone with an interest.

Or now £10 for an electronic copy.
