This book has been developed to give meaning to the convention, standards and resolutions prepared by the International Maritime Organization and I wish to acknowledge the valuable work undertaken at the intergovernmental level to provide the essential international framework for bridge operational standards.
The principles to the International Chamber of Shipping Bridge Procedures Guide have been used as a basis for shipping company practice, whilst the texts and notices issued by the UK Department of Transport have provided essential guidance in the compilation of this volume.
Over the years, fleet managers and superintendents from companies all over the world have discussed their requirements and been instrumental in measuring performance from which it has been possible to assess the effectiveness of the methods chosen.
A book like this cannot be conceived without the accumulated experience of over 3,000 officers attending training courses who have, in their own way, either directly or indirectly, contributed to my understanding of bridge management. To all these people and prganisations I owe particular thanks, for without their professional commitment this book is unlikely to have been written.
