This book is based on the MCA examination syllabus and has been written to make the syllabus less daunting. Its structured approach to studying – using tables and bullet points to highlight key pieces of information – will help the reader gain confidence in the topic areas.

It also brings together links to publications produced by the IMO, the MCA, the International Chamber of Shipping, P&I Clubs and other non-governmental organisations, to help the reader source additional knowledge and gain a deeper understanding of each topic.
