“Understanding emotions and pressure is as foundational to shiphandling as understanding wind and current.” Captain George Livingstone and Captain Grant Livingstone

Includes:
  • Ensuring situational awareness
  • Safer operations
  • Stress management
  • Bridge resource management
  • Communication

Successful shiphandling involves more than technical skill. Understanding emotions and pressure is as foundational to shiphandling as understanding wind and current. Alongside how to handle emotions such as fear, panic and anxiety in stressful situations, Shiphandling, The Beautiful Game provides a resource on managing the fundamentals, from momentum and inertia, turns and arranging assist tugs to anchoring and mooring.

The book covers common challenges, such as navigation in restricted visibility or in channels, turning in confined waters and ports, maintaining situational awareness and avoiding the distractions that have become more common with advances in technology. The authors combine technical analysis with less formal anecdotes and recollections from their decades of experience at sea as pilots.
