This volume is of most use to Masters, Officers and others who operate the oilfields anchor handling vessels. It describes the most common anchor handling operations from the work boats viewpoint, which is quite different from that of the barge or vessel that is being worked. A number of specialist mooring operations are also described, again from the boats viewpoint.
