Bridge procedures Barnacle Broise This is a very clear laid out narrative of what is required and examples of documentation included, but was for me a little dissapointing in so far as all but some of the minor procedures are practised by myself and my team whenever we supply a delivery/Skipper/Captain/crew for a particular vessel. And for the price of the publication was a tad on the expensive side.So we all felt that we had not got value for money so to speak. It was for us rather a review of what current standard practises ought to be at the base level.
