The Shipmaster's Security Manual is an indispensable tool for the shipmaster and shipowners to reduce the human and economic cost related to security breaches. Designed for on-board use, the manual provides precise, easily-accessible information for those forced to confront security problems on a daily basis. The manual provides advice on piracy, drug smuggling, stowaways and the ISPS and as a recent addition also advises on how to cope with boat refugees.
