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 presents the principles covered by the DoT examination papers
in Engineering Knowledge, Instruments and Control Systems for Masters
(foreign-going). It also briefly revises the General Physics for Second
Mate syllabus which is included in the Master's examination. Although
intended primarily for Masters, it will provide all deck and
engineering officers and cadets with an understanding of basic
engineering and control systems used on merchant vessels. It covers
most of the BTEC requirements, as well as the National Diploma in
Maritime Technology.

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.

Biofouling is a costly problem. In this book, strategies to prevent adhesion, to mitigate the extent and effects of biofouling, and to detect and remove fouling layers are presented. Holistic approaches to the fouling process are elaborated upon.

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...
