The content of the present publication shall definitely be treated as a very valuable training asset in the technical library for absolutely all petroleum engineering students; in the meantime, it will also be of great interest to the offshore industry veterans continuing to work in the oil fields.

Two authors of this publication did their best to combine a rigorous (but still easily understandable) approach with its application to the environmental and, in particular, engineering in order to get important engineering problems that the engineers and geologists face on the daily basis solved.

The book covers the aspects of the oil/gas occurrences in the various regions, hydrogeochemical field, geobaric and geotemperature field, geo-fluid-dynamics, generation and migration of hydrocarbons together with their accumulation, qualitative criteria, geologo-mathematical models, and other important information expected to be useful for the drilling engineers.

This is just a short video, not even the video but introductory animation with the content devoted to the floating production storage and offshore loading vessel. and demonstrating the loading process.

Would be recommended to be used as a supplementary training material for the trainees, particularly newcomers to the offshore industry as it is covering the main aspects to be focused on.

There are just three minutes of animation but its authors have managed to address the top important aspects. Of course, for more detailed information trainees will have to go to the specific literature on this matter covering the process in detail. However, this one is not bad for the start at all.

Due to service innovation and pressures to improve agility and greenness, daily logistics optimization is becoming important in Japan, especially for small businesses like convenience stores and supermarkets. A recent review of articles published on supply chain management within the last decade has revealed a scarcity of models that capture dynamic aspects relevant to real-world applications and has underscored the need for extensive studies on this topic.

In view of these observations, in this chapter, we investigate three-echelon logistic network optimization and provide a practical hybrid metaheuristic method.The model supports decision making at the tactical level for daily planning and inventory management in the presence of demand deviation. To deal with this problem, we extend our strategic approach to include some decisions at the operational level. In particular, we consider the multivehicle routing problem while taking into account inventory management issues.

By taking into account the dynamics of demand and warehouse inventory, we try to give a practical approach that can provide innovative resolutions to daily planning problems. Then, to examine some effects of demand deviation on inventory condition, we carried out a parametric study regarding ordering points. The final aim of this study is to develop an integrated information and decision support system that can dynamically manage appropriate databases of resources and product demand.

Additional work must be undertaken to realize this goal, such as the deployment of variants of the basic idea and the use of parallel computation to increase the speed of finding solutions and to enhance information retrieval and the visualization of results on a real map...

In this training video I am going to have a discussion with you about the FWA, which stands for the Fresh Water Allowance. Well, to understand Fresh Water Allowance, let us first understand the purpose of Load Line. Vessel is loaded up to the required permissible load line to avoid overloading.

There are various states of load line which will also be discussed a bit later. So, the vessel is having the supposed required permissible load line and is floating in fresh water. However, let us ship this water into the salt water. Now, let us discuss about density, also.

The relative density of the fresh water is 1, which simply means that density of it is 1 ton per cubic meter, while the salt water's relative density is 1.025 which means that the salt waters density is 1.025 t/cub.m...

The main purpose of the research conducted by the author of this book was to provide readers with proper identification and clear description of the project fire risks that are commonly present in the cruise ship industry of today. The attempt was also made to duly assess the size of the associated risks and explicate the potential response. The author has applied the theoretical approach basing on the project management as well as the general management of the fire risks, supplemented by the specific ship building literature.

The thorough and detailed study has been performed of the technical data obtained from seven different European shipyards. Here is the brief content of the document - Introduction; Review of literature; Materials used; Methods of research; Findings on fire risk and its assessment; Findings on responses to possible fire risk at the shipyards; Fire risk, its size and available responses in case of construction of cruise vessels; Discussion; The very basic chemistry and physics; Fire risk management of already completed cruise ships... These are the most important topics of the Doctorial dissertation presented by Pekka Raisanen at Aalto University last year.

Another short training video. It was prepared by Walport staff intending to let people get easily familiarized with the dangers commonly associated with the fires occurring on board marine vessels.

Obviously, one can never overestimate the importance of being duly prepared to fight the fire and, what is much more preferable option, to prevent it.

The safety of all people on board the vessel and the vessel itself is the responsibility of every crew member and guest.

Spend just two minutes watching this one and maybe one day you will benefit of the content of this short marine training video film.

This training software consists of three parts covering the main components making up the air servo mechanism, its operating principles, and fault finding. The users will be given an opportunity to identify the operation of the various components of the air servo mechanism.

The third part of this program will demonstrate the users how they should proceed in case there is some problem in the mechanism. The core file is .exe so no need for any installation, just launch and use. No cracks, activation codes or many sort of malware inside.

This training program is highly recommended to the crew members and other persons involved in operation/maintenance of the subject mechanisms as it allows them to supplement their theoretical knowledge obtained from the books and documents with some practical information. Both newcomers to the marine engineering and practicing engineers will find this program useful and appreciate the content. Try the program on Oil Servo Mechanism, as well.

This training software consists of three parts which cover the main components, operating principle and troubleshooting for the oil servo mechanism. It was released by MOTIA. The troubleshooting section will demonstrate users how they should proceed to identify the component giving problem as well as individual components.

The procedures in the program are explained in details and will be understandable to everyone. This small program will be useful for students or crew members willing to get the knowledge about the basics of the oil servo mechanisms troubleshooting.

As it was the case with similar program devoted to the Air Servo Mechanism, it is recommended to the people engaged in the operation and routine technical maintenance of the equipment, and is considered equally useful for the beginners and professionals.
