Bulk Carrier Notes For Mates: A Compendium of useful information and guidance on cargo work and running the deck department of a bulk carrier.

Well written and easy to read. The author really knows his subject. I strongly recommend this to anyone who needs to understand the ins and outs of working on bulk carriers.

Excellently written. A good compendium for young officers wishing to transit from the Navy to the Merchant Navy and bulk carriers.

For those embarking on a career in merchant marine this is an indispensable go-to notebook. Its 30+ chapters are well organized and cover critical activities from Cargo Loading Analysis to Maintenance of Port Logs. I was particularly impressed by the presentation of material in a concise sequential manner - set out as bulleted text and accompanied by an adequate number of explanatory drawings and tabular data. Highly recommended for those prepping for a life at sea or in administrative mode of merchant navy operations. Looking forward to a software version of this book that can be deployed on a tablet or ipad.
