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.

Well we watched those trends and we continued to watch through 2014 as more and more international observers began to come to many of the same conclusions as our analyst the Great Namazu published early in 2012. But many of you have only been following us recently, so the Wall Street Journal article mentioned will help bring you up to speed in just a couple of pages and nicely summarize some of our earlier maritime concerns and observations about China in a neat listing of ten trends. Number 8 of the Wall Street Journal feature; "China will continue to be the number one builder of war ships in the world." . As the Year Of the Sheep (2015) opens this prediction is holding true. The Journal also recognized that China will take an "even more aggressive stance against its coastal neighbors in its drive to turn the East , South China and Yellow Seas into Chinese lakes." This prediction held true throughout 2013. By the end of 2014 China had institutionalized the maritime pressure it is applying to its neighbors in the form of the fielding of a large and aggressive "Coast Guard". However as Japan and the Philippines have not surrendered their territories and are engaged in responsive military build ups the Chinese have downshifted into what might be called a "Salami Slice" strategy cutting out small pieces of their neighbor's territory in small actions that seem less than acts of war. Of course in the end the cumulative effect is that the Dragon eats the whole salami.
