This 11th edition retains the familiar question-and-answer format of its predecessors but has been redesigned to provide a much-improved user experience. Navigation through the complexities of the Master’s duties has been eased by splitting the subject into 114 topics.

The text has been completely revised and updated to the end of Q1/2024, reflecting the many changes to maritime legislation and MCA guidance since Britain’s exit from the EU.
