Seamanship is the art of operating a ship or boat.

It involves a knowledge of a variety of topics and development of specialised skills including:

  • Navigation and international maritime law;
  • Weather, meteorology and forecasting;
  • Watchstanding;
  • ship-handling and Small boat handling;
  • operation of deck equipment, anchors and cables;
  • Ropework and line handling;
  • Communications;
  • Sailing;
  • Engines;
  • execution of evolutions such as towing;
  • Cargo handling equipment, dangerous cargoes and cargo storage;
  • Dealing with emergencies; and
  • Survival at sea and Search and Rescue.

The degree of knowledge needed within these areas is dependent upon the nature of the work and the type of vessel employed by a mariner. However, the practice of good seamanship should be the goal of all.
