This latest official edition of the Ships Routeing shall supersede all previous editions of the book and includes all measures that have been officially adopted by IMO up to and including the 95th session of the MSC and 28th session of IMO Assembly. Eight sections of the publications, from A to H, cover the general provisions of the ships routeing, traffic separation schemes and inshore traffic zones, areas to be avoided, deep-water routes, other measures, associated rules and recommendations on navigation, adoption, designation and substitution of Archipelagic sea lanes, mandatory ship reporting systems, no anchoring areas and routeing systems.

The book starts with the introductory section defining the main objective of the document, procedures and responsibilities of the parties involved, design criteria, representation on the nautical charts, planning, etc. The Part B of the volume is arranged in several sections covering the Baltic Sea together with the adjacent waters, Western European waters, Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, Indian Ocean and adjacent waters, South-East Asia, Pacific Coast of the North/South America, Australasia, Western North Atlantic Ocean, Mexican Gulf, Pacific Coast of Asia, Caribbean Sea, Eastern North Atlantic and South Atlantic Oceans...

An excellent and successful attempt was made by the author of this rare and classic title to cover a very broad field than covered by any other existing work on seamanship. The other treaties on seamanship written in the days when this discipline was mainly concerned with handling and fitting sailing vessels. Subject treaties will remain valuable and will never get out of date. However, one cannot deny that the steam vessels have established their claim to consider in seamanship.

The present work provides readers with huge amount of information arranged in twenty-five big chapters covering literally all important aspects of the seamanship, starting from the hull and fittings of a vessel, splicing and knotting, various mechanical appliances on board ships, handling heavy weights, tackles and blocks, compass and submarine signals, through boats, ground tackle, handling vessels in a surf, the rules of the road. steering of steam ships, anchoring, piloting and maneuvering to avoid collisions, dry-docking of ships, handling steam ships, weather and handling of torpedo ships, to towing, stranding, man overboard, rescuing the crew members of a shipwreck, and specific hints for the junior ship officers. Numerous appendices have also been provided giving some additional valuable information.

In this publication the authors thoroughly explain the modern MWD (standing for the Measurement While Drilling) technology. It offers really unique approaches to high data rate oil well logging. In addition to that, the hardware design and telemetry and signal processing are covered in this publication.

This book is only one available today, that addresses the development of the mud pulse telemetry from the very first principles. The authors, Yinao Su and Wilson Chin, tried to adapt the principles of sound acoustics to signal processing and wind tunnel testing. they have also managed to provide readers with the thorough and clear explanations of the most important aspects of MWD, applying the latest scientific ideas and technical principles demonstrating the limitations of those systems and the ways to overcome subject limitations.

In short, the publication shall be greatly appreciated by the technical personnel of the drilling installations, and particularly to those directly engaged in the drilling activities.

One more LR-released and supported application for android based devices. This relatively small and very easy-to-use application highlights the deficiencies as formally listed in the Annexes to the IMO MARPOL Convention in order to help crew members and owners trying to get their ship in full compliance with the requirements of this international convention.

It will enable users to view all applicable regulatory and legislative requirements; they will have the opportunity to save checklists and survey logs for the future use, check off the activities that have been already completed. They will also be able to supplement the survey results with the images and text notes.

There are many other useful features of this app which we definitely recommend to the people performing subject checks as well as to the crew members responsible for maintaining the relevant items in due condition and present the vessel for the inspection.

An excellent video training devoted to the compliance with the requirements of the Annex VI to the IMO MARPOL Convention. This video was released to supplement the present booklet addressing same issue. We all see the huge benefits brought to our life by the global industrialization.

However, this all is at some cost, and sometime the cost is very high and unaffordable. In this video the authors have covered the atmospheric emissions that have the negative effect on the environment of our planet. In fact, this is the reason why the corresponding Annex to the Convention was presented and made mandatory for compliance to all vessels flying the flags of the countries that ratified subject Convention.

The video is recommended to all people working in the maritime industry, and particularly to the crew members since they carry the main responsibility for making their ships compliant.

This training video was released by Videotel Production in association with "The Steamship Mutual Underwriting Association". The content of the film is briefly explaining the major aspects of the Annex I to the IMO Convention Marine Pollution Prevention addressing the oil pollution prevention.

Having all crew members of the vessel duly informed about the importance on hold fully compliant with all requirements of the Marine Pollution Prevention requirements is of course a matter of utmost importance for the management of the shipping companies and ship officers.

Every single crew members on board and every employee of the maritime shipping company even if working ashore, shall have a clear understanding of the negative consequences the non-compliance with these requirements may have. That is why we highly recommend this short video training to all people in the maritime industry as the protection of the marine environment is definitely a common cause.

This archive consists of the two training packs of coming under the "Marlins English for Seafarers" title with the content developed by Allister Nisbet and Anna Whitcher Kutz in collaboration with the other recognized experts whose joint efforts have eventually resulted in the creation of this world popular training tool.

The training materials included in this set have been arranged in several parts covering the speaking and reading, writing and listening, pair work and information. The training units are supplemented with the answer key and tape scripts as well as verb tables. The book is mainly focusing on the general English, however presented within a specific maritime context.

This is an easily accessible training instrument that would allow all seafarers to manage their learning process by means of the independent study and to provide maritime companies with the practically useful tools to ensure compliance with the legislative requirements through offering their crew members an efficient and proven training system.

The present publication provides readers with the results obtained in the course of the very latest researches as well as the technological innovations that all were presented during the Conference held in Trondheim, Norway in 2014.

The content of the document is arranged in several chapters, presenting the articles covering such areas as the optimization of the port-ship interface, maritime transportation activities and related operations in the Arctic region, effective infrastructure of the sea ports, various novel fuels including LNG, their use and distribution, use of the environmentally-friendly and efficient sources of energy in ports and on board ships, remotely controlled and remotely monitored shipping traffic control and surveillance, logistics optimization, safe maritime operations and many other important topics.

The volume is expected to significantly contribute to the reliability and efficiency of the maritime transport and operations; it will be useful to the practicing engineers and scientists working in the field of marine technology researches.
