The New Hawsepipe
On February 1, 2002, the United States merchant maritime industry was forever changed. New regulations were enacted that dramatically altered the licensing and documentation requirements for mariners.
The New Hawsepipe, published by Cornell Maritime Press, is a pragmatic reference book which explains all the U.S. Coast Guard and STCW ‘95 requirements for merchant mariners who want to get promoted and for non-mariners interested in a well paying, exciting career. The book includes:
- The history of STCW '95, including all organizations involved with enforcing the new regulations.
- Setting realistic goals for completing all requirements.
- How to gain the right sea time for the right license or document.
- Class descriptions, including additional endorsements for certain industries to improve employment opportunities.
- Training facilities and financial aid information.
- Transferring from the military to the merchant marines, taking advantage of all the military has to offer regarding career advancement.
- Planning and preparation for all Coast Guard exams.
The New Hawsepipe takes the confusion out of the STCW '95 and U.S. Coast Guard requirements and allows readers to streamline their career path in the merchant marines.
REVIEWS:
"I have recently purchased the book to assist me in the process of up-grading my license. I am hoping to work in the merchant marine when I get off of active duty and want to set myself set up for success." ---LTJG J. C. Vonk USCG Seattle WA.
"I just finished reading the book. I expected a dry book dealing with policy and regulations, so I was quite satisfied to read a book spelling things out the way they are in the real world. What I also found was the story of a fellow Merchant Mariner whose career has been similar to mine in many ways." ---C. Edyvean, Great Lakes.
"I just received my copy of the book yesterday and read it cover to cover. As a person who is interested in entering the merchant marine profession I found the book to be extremely informative and it provided excellent ground work for how to go about realizing an ambition." ---J. McKee, Oregon.
