Reeds 21st Century Ship Management
Ship Management is in a constant state of evolution, driven by the demands of the shipping industry, new legislation and advancements in technology. Over the past 30 years the emergence of large multinational ship management companies has changed how business must be conducted and shrinking profit margins have changed how these companies must operate to survive in a competitive industry.
Reeds 21st Century Ship Managementaddresses the key areas where ship managers must be both knowledgeable and adaptable, including ship types, legislation, documentation, inspections, insurance, budgeting, emergency response and personal issues, such as teamwork, effective communication and fatigue.
The focus is as much on the people who manage ships as the thoery and practice of ship management; people are the most important asset of any organisation. As such, the book asks the reader to look at how things are done and if there is a way to improve. It is highly recommended for professionals in the marine industry to review where they are and where they want to be.
