𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀: 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗯𝗼𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🛥️ We’re happy to share that Polestar Publishing is now a member of the The Workboat Association (WA). The WA plays a key role in setting industry standards for safety, skills development, and best practices within the workboat industry. During our discussions with Kerrie Forster, CEO, we saw that the WA is an extremely positive organisation, with an enthusiastic and output-driven membership. We look forward to engaging with its >200 members on the development of education and training of workboat crew and thereby working on a safe and engaging environment. #polestarpublishing #maritime #workboat #workboats #workboatassociation

𝗛𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝘂𝗴𝗯𝗼𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁? 🚢 Tugboats are now delivering over 100 tons of bollard pull, but with this rise in power, smaller tugs may become rare. This shift is causing concern among pilots who rely on smaller tugs for maneuvering smaller vessels. Last month, Captain Henk Hensen shared his insights on this trend and it's impact on the maritime industry.

𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆: ‘𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗺-𝗔’ Marcom-A is a comprehensive book covering various aspects of maritime communication and is aimed at anyone who needs to obtain the Marcom-A operating certificate. The book delves into correct maritime communication, as well as regulations and technology. Additionally, it covers many practical matters such as the properties, capabilities, and use of radio systems and the procedures for distress, urgency, and safety radio traffic. The theory is clarified with numerous illustrations that come directly from practice and are therefore recognizable to all seafarers. The book follows the new regulations (IMO and ITU) that will come into effect on January 1, 2024, and its content fully aligns with the current exam requirements of the CBR. Future developments in the field of GMDSS are also discussed. Discover the revised version of ‘Marcom-A’ here >> https://lnkd.in/e2gnxCeP #polestarpublishing #maritime #revisededition

𝗔 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲! After a busy period, last Friday was the perfect time for our first team outing. We kicked things off by tackling a challenging escape room on the SS Rotterdam. Then, we enjoyed a nice dinner at Stadshaven Brewery - where we had a great view of the port, including a tugboat. It was a great way to unwind, have some fun, and recharge together. (In the photo, from left to right: Johan, Paul, Wencke, Lianne, Gregor, and Miriam.) #polestarpublishing #maritime #teamouting

Since the first edition of ‘𝗛𝘂𝗹𝗽𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗸𝘁𝘂𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻’ was published in 1980, thousands of students and seafarers have been introduced to the operation and application of the numerous auxiliary systems on board a ship. In 2018, a revised version edited by Jan Kooijman was released, quickly becoming the new standard work for maritime education. Ruben Vrijlandt has since thoroughly updated this version to reflect the current state of technology. The operation of a wide range of auxiliary installations is clearly described in this edition and is richly illustrated with many diagrams and clear drawings. It extensively covers auxiliary systems such as pumps, separators, boilers, heat exchangers, ballast water, and drinking water installations. Additionally, there is detailed attention to theoretical foundations, including topics such as pressure, efficiency, hydraulics, pneumatics, and piping systems. Since its publication, ‘Hulpwerktuigen’ has become a reference not only for many maritime training programs but also beyond maritime education, proving its usefulness extensively. It is suitable for both maritime students and professionals in the maritime industry. You can find the revised edition here >> https://lnkd.in/eBVXgZXW #polestarpublishing #maritime #revisededition

Is big really better? 🚢 Over the years, the power of tugs has surged, with some now delivering a bollard pull exceeding 100 tons. This increase in strength is impressive, but it has also led to a shift in tug fleets, where smaller tugs are becoming less common. This trend is raising concerns among pilots who need these smaller tugs for the safe and efficient handling of smaller vessels. In our latest blog, Captain Henk Hensen discusses this trend and its impact on the industry. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eZ23aukt #PolestarPublishing #Maritime #Tugboat
