This book focuses on the management of ship operations, an activity that requires
integrative knowledge and technical expertise that spans various disciplines. As such,
ship operations personnel are expected to be well-versed with aspects of management,
economics, engineering, technology and law. Further, ship operations management
requires the ability to identify and neutralize threats and to manage risks and make
decisions that will optimize costs and contribute to performance improvements.

Despite the fundamental nature of ship operations management, no book has ever
attempted to reconcile and compile a comprehensive body of knowledge, while pursuing
a coherent, structured and systematic approach. 
This edited volume addresses that fundamental gap in the extant literature, and brings
together a wealth of knowledge from experts in their respective fields. Concretely, it
explores issues of organization, technical management, crewing and behavioral issues,
chartering and post fixture, risk management, finance, legal aspects of international
conventions and regulations, attainment of safety, security and marine insurance, as well
as ocean governance and sustainability. As such, the book offers a vital reference guide
for maritime companies and organizations, while also serving as a teaching supplement in
academic and professional maritime programmes.
