Now onto its 30th Edition, Nicholls’s Seamanship and Nautical Knowledge continues to provide the mariner with an authoritative reference on their craft.  

The maritime sector is continuously changing, particularly in terms of ship size, technology and legislation. Since the last edition in 2014, this book has been updated to provide guidance both practically and informatively, and further sources of information are provided throughout the book.

Nicholls’s Seamanship covers a wide range of subjects and would be a valuable addition to any mariner’s library throughout the world.

The book will be available from March 2020 with input from many leading seafarers, colleagues and experts to reflect current knowledge and good practice.
