Caters for marine engineer candidates for Department of Transport Certification as Marine Engineer Class One and Class Two. It covers the various items of ships' electrical equipment and explains operating principles. David McGeorge is a former lecturer in Marine Engineering at the College of Maritime Studies, Warsash, Southampton. He is the author of General Engineering Knowledge.

The Book has been thoroughly revised, keeping in mind the rapid technological advances in this mammoth industry and also the feedback received from various quarters. Relevant extracts from current SOLAS. IACS, Lloyd's Register, DNV and ABS Rules, have been included with permission. However, these must be used only for academic purposes. Relevant current documents onboard ships musl be referred to, for the purpose of complying with Classification Societies' and other Statutory Requirements.

Updated with the 2000 rules, the Fourth Edition provides shipyard electricians and electrical designers with the step-by-step instruction they need to design and install electrical systems on marine installations, whether shipboard or offshore. Written for novices, this workbook offers three modules of skill level: Fundamentals, Intermediate, and Advanced. Within each module, the author provides five lessons filled with detailed outlines, diagrams, charts, formulas, examples, solutions, blank worksheets, and study guides for increased understanding. Suitable for use as either a course text or as a self-help guide, this workbook examines current rules and regulations of the American Bureau of Shipping, United States Coast Guard, National Electronic Code, and Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers 45. Using this information, readers will acquire a basic knowledge of task requirements, including basic ship construction as well as power-and-lighting-system building and installation. Featuring the editorial revisions of the "ABS Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels," this edition addresses changes made to the American Bureau of Shipping's (ABS) rules, including the re-numbering and re-organization of all section numbers. For ease-of-reference, the author includes a chart of both the new ABS rules and the old ABS rules used throughout the workbook.

A marine engineer will need to have a broad background of knowledge within several aspects of marine design and operations. These aspects relate to the design of facilities for offshore applications and evaluation of operational conditions for marine installation and modification/maintenance works. Such needs arise in the marine industries, in the offshore oil and gas industry as well as in the offshore renewable industry. Developed from knowledge gained throughout the author’s engineering career, this book covers several of the themes where engineers need knowledge and also serves as a teaser for those who will go into more depth on the different thematic aspects discussed. Details of qualitative risk analysis, which is considered an excellent tool to identify risks in marine operations, are also included. The book is the author’s attempt to develop a text for those in marine engineering science who like a practical and solid mathematical approach to marine engineering. It is the intention that the book can serve as an introductory textbook for master degree courses in marine sciences and be of inspiration for teachers who will extend the course into specialisation courses on stability of vessels, higher order wave analysis, nonlinear motions of vessels, arctic offshore engineering, etc. The book could also serve as a handbook for PhD students and researchers who need a handy introduction to solving marine technology related problems.

John C. Payne is a professional marine electrical engineer with 23 years merchant marine and off-shore oil experience.

From John C. Payne, one of the foremost international authorities on marine electrical systems and electronics, comes a new series of easy to understand yet thorough treatments of technical issues facing every boat owner, whether sail or power. Each volume is concise, compact, and fully illustrated.

Developed to complement Reeds Vol 8 (General Engineering for Marine Engineers), this indispensable textbook comprehensively covers the motor engineering syllabus for marine engineering officer cadets. Starting with the theoretical and practical thermodynamic operating cycles, the book is structured to give a description of the engines and components used to extract energy from fossil fuels and achieve high levels of efficiency. Accessibly written and clearly illustrated, this book is the only guide available for marine engineering students focusing on the knowledge needed for passing the motor engineering certificate of Competency (CoC) examinations. This new edition reflects all developments within the discipline and includes updates and additions on, amongst other things: · Engine emissions and control engineering · Fuel injection · Starting and reversing · Ancillary supply systems · Safety and the environment Plus updates to many of the technical engineering drawings.

SAVE TIME AND MONEY WITH THIS STATE-OF-THE-ART GUIDE TO THE LATEST, MOST ADVANCED DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES “Ed Sherman is one of America’s great teachers and communicators of marine technology.”--Tim Murphy, Executive Editor, Cruising World Whether you are a marine electronics professional or a boatowner, Advanced Marine Electrics and Electronics Troubleshooting helps you understand the new, more powerful methods of troubleshooting marine electrical and electronic systems. A modern boat’s sophisticated installations and networked electronics can stretch the traditional diagnostic methods based on trouble lights and multimeters past their useful limits. This book will show you how to: Use microprocessor-based diagnostic tools and techniques from the automotive and communications sectors, adapted for boats for the first time Diagnose the most difficult AC and DC problems Protect communications and navigation electronics from interference and lightning Seek out and eliminate stray-current sources and galvanic corrosion

This is a fully revised, new edition on the topic of instrumentation and control systems and their application to marine engineering for professional trainees studying Merchant Navy Marine Engineering Certificates of Competency (CoC) as well as Electrical/Marine Engineering undergraduate students. Providing generic technical and practical descriptions of the operation of instrumentation and control devices and systems, this volume also contains mathematic analysis where appropriate. Addressing this subject area, the domain of Instrumentation Engineers/Technicians as well as Control Engineers, and covering established processes and protocols and extensive developing technology, this textbook is written with the marine engineer in mind, particularly those studying Engineering Knowledge. The content ranges from simple measurement devices, through signal conditioning and digitisation to highly sophisticated automated control and instrumentation systems. It also includes a brand new section on electrical equipment in hazardous areas detailing hazards, gas groups, temperature classifications and types of protection including increased and intrinsic safety and encapsulation, and up-to-date material on the new generation of Liquified Natural Gas carriers, SMART sensors and protocols, as well as computer based systems.
