Hurricane Havens Handbook for the North Atlantic Ocean. Change 2.

Abstract

This handbook is a ready reference decision-making aid for commanding officers and other personnel responsible for the safety of ships facing a hurricane threat. Guidance on assessing a hurricane threat and choosing appropriate countermeasures at specific North Atlantic Ocean (and Gulf of Mexico) ports is provided in the port evaluations in Sections II-XXIII. The handbook is not directed only to ships at these ports, however, and the general guidance in Section I will assist ships at other ports or at sea.
