The content of the present guidebook was developed with intention of the author to give good fundamentals for working out the effective watchkeeping when the vessel is in port. Same is expected to be achieved through demonstration of the best operational practices. The title was released in response to a growing need for the practical instructions for the shipboard OOW, standing for the officer on watch.
The main idea is to provide junior officers with the assistance in proper identification of their duties, and letting them better understand the significance of the work they are assigned with. The readers who have spent some time with this book, going carefully through all chapters, will have a proper idea of the practices required for conducting safe watch, arrange for a correct watch handover, contribute into prevention of the damage and/or loss, provide necessary support to the Captain and Chief Mate, etc.
All of the listed activities are critically important for the safety and effective work of the vessel, since, when performed properly, they allow to save time, which, in all cases, is extremely valuable, and that is why the instructions provided in the pages of this guidebook, shall be followed.
