The book is based on the MCA examination syllabus, and has been written to make the syllabus seem 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 a 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.

The purpose of this book is to support students studying towards their Maritime and Coastguard Agency professional exams.

The contents of the book are structured around the MCA examination syllabus. The book has been written to provide a brief overview of each topic. Tables and bullet points have been used as I am a great advocate of the ‘flashcard’ study technique and this style lends itself to that. 

There are links to primary sources of information and documents which will help you gain a deeper understanding of each topic.

There are so many excellent publications in the public domain produced by the likes of IMO, the MCA, International Chamber of Shipping, P&I clubs and other non-governmental organisations that can really develop your knowledge and be taken forward in your professional environment.

The reason why I wanted to bring this book together was because on first reading, the syllabus can seem quite daunting. By taking a structured approach to your studying and having knowledge of where to find key sources of information you can soon gain confidence in the topic areas.

Good luck!
