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...

This book contains invaluable reference tables and maths formulae for trainee and professional marine engineers.

Focussing on subjects most commonly required in mechanical and marine
engineering (including a section on naval architecture), the formulae
are graduated to cover the subjects at all stages from technician level
to degree, from cadet level to the Extra First Class Certificate.

After each subject, there are blank pages in which extra design data
and formulae can be added, and where the understanding of basic
concepts is particularly...

This book covers an area of ship structure analysis and design that has not been exhaustively examined by other references. It presents the basic concepts of the methods and procedures required to calculate torsion and shear stresses in ship structures.

During the last decade significant progress has been made in the field of ship stability. Yet in spite of the progress made, numerous scientific and practical challenges still exist with regard to the accurate prediction of extreme motion and capsize dynamics for intact and damaged vessels, the probabilistic nature of extreme events, criteria that properly reflect the physics and operational safety of an intact or damaged vessel, and ways to provide relevant information on safe ship handling to ship operators.
This book provides a comprehensive review of the above issues through the...

Key features include:

• a three-part structure covering Modeling of Marine Craft; Guidance, Navigation and Control...

Satellite systems, ARPA, electronic charts, AIS, sophisticated communication equipment and integrated navigational systems--all these advanced technologies provide valuable capabilities. But accidents still happen, and they usually involve human error. This simple fact has made Bridge Resource Management (BRM) training a requirement for watchkeepers worldwide. Bridge...
