Throughout the book, a link is made with salvage and the offshore world. The emphasis however remains on ocean towing. Besides this, a chapter is included about ITB’s and ATB’s, as the author regards these as highly economical means of transport. Being a seaman himself, the author freely files his opinion regarding the shipping industry, their institutions and the general regulations, as he deems necessary. Although the manual is primarily written for students at nautical colleges, it is of great interest for the large family of tug lovers as well.
