Abstract
R anging in size from enormous to almost tiny, transporting more tons of cargo of direct concern to more people in more parts of the world than any other type of ship afloat, tankers have become indispensable to the modern international industrial economy. As vital components of the merchant marine, tankers require many of the same managerial skills needed by any other type of ships engaged in moving cargoes across the seas. Dedicated to the movement of liquid commodities in bulk, however, these vessels demand specialized knowledge and techniques both from the personnel who take them to sea and those on shore who supervise their activities.
