Dr Bryan Barrass worked as a Ship Draughtsman for 11 years at Swan Hunters Shipyard in Wallsend. In 1963, he then became a Lecturer in Naval Architecture in Sunderland. From 1967 to 1993, he worked at Liverpool John Moores University, lecturing to Maritime Degree students, Masters, Mates, and Marine Engineers.
In 1993 he retired from full-time work. He became a visiting Lecturer and has written seven books involving Ship Stability, Ship Design & Ship Performance and Ship Squat & Interaction. His interest in Ship Squat began in April 1972, starting on research for his Ph.D. degree.
He has worked with many national & international Port Authorities. They include the PLA, Milford Haven PA, Liverpool PA, Humberside PA, Tyne PA, Truro PA, Newhaven PA, Bordeaux PA, Klaipeda PA, Nantes PA and Hamburg PA.
Dr Barrass has supplied Ship Squat and Interaction information to 22 countries worldwide. He has lectured at a great number of UK Universities and has advised many Ship-owners on the above listed Specialist topics.

"British specialists in marine technology (Barrass) and navigation (Derrett) provide a resource for students studying for their Transport Certificates of Competency for Deck Officers and Engineering Officers and STCW equivalent international qualification. Primarily for chief mates and officers on watch on board merchant ships, it focuses on linking ship stability with ship motions."--Reference & Research Book News, October 2013 ".the book provides a comprehensive treatment of the subject with full supporting data. It is well written with clear illustrations. It can be thoroughly recommended to those at whom it is aimed and many others associated with the operation of ships will benefit from reading it."--The Naval Architect, January 2013
