The information contained within this reference compilation is intended to be a helpful guide for the marine engineer in solving problems or answering questions that he or she may encounter daily, as well as problems or questions that may be encountered on a much less common basis. A good deal of this information is also necessary knowledge for any tests or examinations that may be required for the advancement of his or her career in the marine industry. The source primarily used for the direction of this compilation has been the USCG merchant marine engineering question bank for motor-propelled vessels, accessible on the internet at www.uscg.mil/stcw/. Another source is experience. All units of measurement are in imperial/standard units unless otherwise noted. SI/metric units have been used where appropriate.

The Maritime Engineering Reference Book is a one-stop source for engineers involved in marine engineering and naval architecture. In this essential reference, Anthony F. Molland has brought together the work of a number of the world's leading writers in the field to create an inclusive volume for a wide audience of marine engineers, naval architects and those involved in marine operations, insurance and other related fields. Coverage ranges from the basics to more advanced topics in ship design, construction and operation. All the key areas are covered, including ship flotation and stability, ship structures, propulsion, seakeeping and maneuvering. The marine environment and maritime safety are explored as well as new technologies, such as computer aided ship design and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).Facts, figures and data from world-leading experts makes this an invaluable ready-reference for those involved in the field of maritime engineering.Professor A.F. Molland, BSc, MSc, PhD, CEng, FRINA. is Emeritus Professor of Ship Design at the University of Southampton, UK. He has lectured ship design and operation for many years. He has carried out extensive research and published widely on ship design and various aspects of ship hydrodynamics.* A comprehensive overview from best-selling authors including Bryan Barrass, Rawson and Tupper, and David Eyres* Covers basic and advanced material on marine engineering and Naval Architecture topics* Have key facts, figures and data to hand in one complete reference book

The essential coursebook for all students studying general marine engineering. General Engineering Knowledge for Marine Engineers considers the different needs of those studying 'general' marine engineering, including the most recent changes to the Merchant Navy syllabus and current pathways to a sea-going engineering career. Accessibly written and clearly illustrated with technical engineering drawings, it covers all the latest equipment, practices and trends in marine engineering. It incorporates the 2010 Manila Amendments, particularly relating to management. This latest edition reflects all the developments in the field, including updates and additions on, amongst other things: - Sustainable ships systems - Hybrid power and energy management systems - Battery technology and hydrogen fuel cells - Biofuels - Waste heat recovery - Corrosion of metals in sea water - SOLAS rules on steering ships - Electric vehicle battery fires The book includes test examples for student self-assessment, and these have also been reviewed and updated to ensure this volume remains current.
