Maritime Security A Practical Guide

By Steven Jones
Nautical Institute ISBN 9781870077750

With world attention focused on piracy, the Nautical Institute has published a timely work on secure operations for maritime commerce.
Some good points to this book:
· Laid out in textbook format
· Based on needs of the mariner
· Who what why of concerns
· How to setup an onboard security system
· References to resources ashore
· Setting up the position of security officer position onboard ship
· Problems with uniformity and costs to owners
· Many mariners already mired in paperwork
This book should be included in the syllabus of nautical colleges throughout the world.
