International Chamber of Shipping Guide to Helicopter Ship Operations Fourth Edition 2008
The Fourth edition of the ICS Guide to Helicopter/Ship Operations reflects current best practice in the international shipping and aviation industries, and supersedes the 1989 edition.
The ICS Guide to Helicopter Ship Operations has been fully updated with extensive guidance regarding the role and responsibilities of both the ship and helicopter, using expert advice from the aviation industry. It is strongly recommended that a copy is carried on board every ship (and is also obtained by both shipping companies and helicopter operators).
Complete with detailed illustrations that takes full account of:
- Latest specifications for helicopter performance
- Latest ICAO (aviation) requirements for the safe location/marking of landing and winching areas
- New guidance on the growing practice of transfer of marine pilots direct to the bridge wing
- Revised guidance on actions to be taken in the event of helicopter incidents.
To provide additional value and utility, the Fourth edition is accompanied by a CD version of the text with a 'search' function. The CD also includes an electronic template for preparing helicopter landing/operating plans for transmission from the ship to the helicopter operator.
