Merchant Ship Stability (First Published 1945 - 6th Edition 1983)
By H.J. Pursey, Extra Master.

Companion volume to Merchant What is the procedure when a ship is placed under arrest? What is a notary public and under what circumstances would a ship's master need his services? Conviction of a person committing certain offence provides for a penalty of a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum, and for certain summary offences provides for a Standard Scale of fines. How much are such fines? Are you certain of the difference between a possessory lien and a maritime lien or the difference between particular and general average? What officials have power to detain your ship? Under the 1988 Merchant Shipping Act what persons are qualified to be owners of British Ships? Under What circumstances are persons qualified to own a British ship, but having only a majority interest in a particular ship, entitled to have it registered in the United Kingdom? By what date are all ships required to have an International Tonnage Certificate? How often must officers have their certificates re-validated? Under what circumstances can a ship leave port on a voyage with one officer short? An official hands you an Improvement Notice. What must you do? When a ship is chartered, could you explain the usual provisions of say, the indemnity clauses, cesser clause, general ice clause or any of the other charter-party clauses? Do you know the purpose and effect of such marine insurance clauses as the held-covered clause, the sistership clause and the duty of assured (sue and labour) clause, amongst others?

Any person who needs to answer questions of this nature cannot afford to be without Business and Law for the Shipmaster. From this modern comprehensive reference work a student preparing for a Department of Transport examination, a serving shipmaster or mate, and even those agents and servants of shipping companies whose duties do not require them to serve at sea will be able to increase their knowledge of many aspects of maritime law and shipping business. Registry, classification, crew matters, health, safety, carriage of passengers and goods, custom formalities. towage, pilotage, marine insurance, limitation of liability - are all adequately treated and a comprehensive index is provided.
