Roger Seymour, Senior RYA Examiner, Hamble School of Yachting

A no-nonsense study guide helping seafarers to pass their MCA or Flag State oral exams for Deck Officer qualifications.


This handy revision guide is the one book that Deck Officer Cadets, Master and Deck Officers will want by their side when studying for the much-feared oral exams. Expert marine training director Simon Jinks strips back the masses of information to the core essential points that are easy to absorb and quick to remember when it comes to the oral assessment.

Written in simple terms, this trusted crammer covers all the principal areas of the MCA and Flag State exam syllabus for deck officers (Officer of the Watch, Chief Mate and Master), including sections on business and law conventions, pollution prevention, responses to emergencies and distress signals. Clearly presented and ideal for revision, this handbook is packed with straightforward diagrams, flow charts, helpful sample questions and worked examples on tidal working, radar plotting and more.

This is an invaluable reference for all international STCW Deck Officer candidates, and covers both MCA and Flag State oral exams. It is also suitable for Near Coastal and Boatmaster apprentices, Workboat crew apprentices, Yachtmaster Offshores, Yachtmaster instructors, and fishermen going for their fishing licences on larger vessels, and for shore workers such as vessel superintendents, maritime managers and trainers. There is specific information for all vessels, with sections on smaller, code and domestic vessels.
