Manoeuvring Booklet

The manoeuvring booklet should be available on board and should contain comprehensive details of the ship's manoeuvring characteristics and other relevant data. The manoeuvring booklet should include the information shown on the wheelhouse poster together with other available manoeuvring information. Most of the manoeuvring information in the booklet can be estimated but some should be obtained from trials. The information in the booklet may be supplemented in the course of the ship's life. See Appendix Recommended Information to be Included in the Manoeuvring Booklet for further details of the information required in a manoeuvring booklet.
