  We have a special affinity for this book. In our AUTHORITATIVE LITERATURE SECTION we provide as free to read on line E-books some of the American Admiralty Bureau's COMMENTATORS and GUIDES. We are still in the process of updating these works and scanning them in but at least three of these titles are available to read on line. These works of the American Admiralty Bureau explain various maritime "causation matrices" commonly litigated in the admiralty courts. The COMMENTATORS particularly, are forensic in nature and designed to help the legal advocate accurately uncover the interactive matrix of factors that give rise to marine accidents. MARITIME ERROR MANAGEMENT   (2011) by Kings Point Alumni Geoffrey Gill (class of '68) is ,by contrast, more preventative in nature. 

 Gill is an experienced licensed deck officer and a maritime attorney. In this work he objectively considers cognitive, organizational, and operational factors proven to contribute maritime accidents. He incorporates research from other safety -critical domains as well as from his 40 year affiliation with the American maritime industry to create the book.  The book provides a focused overview of of present day maritime safety issues and suggests risk management strategies that would be effective from the both the boardroom and the Wheelhouse. Here is where Gill's work compliments but differs from the COMMENTATOR and GUIDE series of the American Admiralty Bureau. Where the multi -volume COMMENTATOORS and GUIDES address the the identification of the causation matrix post accident; Gill's work while less specific on commonly litigated subjects, addresses prevention. Gills work should be read not only by admiralty attorneys by by corporate executives and ship's officers. 

 Subjects covered include the evolution of of modern maritime safety philosophy, dealing with maritime risk, bridge resource management, the nature of error, situational awareness and decision making, regulatory violations, technology, eNavigation, and organizational management and failure in regards to maritime risk.
