This volume of the Oilfield Seamanship Series focuses on towing operations. It includes practical advice on subjects such as changing tow bridles and the general arrangement of jackup vessels. The text is supported by diagrams and tables, both of which cover manoeuvring considerations such as turning into heavy weather. The limitations of AHTs and AHTSs are explained in the context of personnel experience, with procedural guidance given to prevent damage to towing equipment.
