Video training file prepared by Rajiv Gandhi from the UKT, standing for the University of Knowledge Technologies, who has prepared the content of this video and is explaining the very basics of the Buoyance and Metacentric Height - what they are, how they can be determined and evaluated etc.

It will be very useful for students or any persons studying the naval architecture and ship stability as the clear knowledge and deep understanding of these fundamental issues are of truly utmost importance. Note that the present video is also addressing the conditions of stability.

An excellent explanatory video particularly recommended to be used as the supplementary material when teaching the basics of the naval architecture starting from the fundamental definitions.

The present application was developed for the Android platform as in fact is just is just the version of COLREG, i.e. collision regulation rules which has been optimized so that it can be installed and further used on the Android-based mobile devices. The app contains all required regulations supplemented with the relevant important data.

We recommend you to download this application to your mobile phone or tablet - you will be able to have a look into the rule-book at any time. No need to stand up and o through the papers or even turn on the laptop. The information about the lights and flags is also there.

The search function is enabled, letting you save so much of your valuable time. Traditionally, no installation required, completely free app with no activation/cracks. A very handy and compact tool recommended for use.

This publication is dedicated to the safety issues of the bridge watchkeeping. The main body of this official publication released by the MAIB, standing for the Marine Accident Investigation Branch, has been arranged in several chapters related to the safety study, supplemented with a glossary of abbreviations and terms used throughout the document, analysis, conclusions, recommendations, and two annexes with questionnaire and principles of safe manning.

The paper opens with the extract from the Merchant Shipping regulations saying that the fundamental purpose of accident investigation is to determine the circumstances of this accident together with the causes, with the ultimate aim being the improvement of the safety of human life at sea and, of course, avoidance of such accidents in the future. Not to apportion the liability or blame.

The present report endeavors to identify and then analyze the safety issues that led to a specific accident and make the recommendations on the basis of the analysis. These recommendations, in turn, are expected to be helpful in preventing the repetition of the similar ship accidents, and this is a general intention of the authors of this report.

The Nautical Institute presents one of the best and classical guides on Bridge Watchkeeping prepared to serve the officers of the watch; the publication was originally designed provide the valuable practical advice. The book has been already very well met in the shipping industry and considered perfect for the self-study and it's aim and major objectives were actually to enhance applicable standards of watchkeeping by means of the assessment program covering bridge operations, as well as the correct use of the equipment onboard, proper application of the established reliable procedures, support to be provided to the bridge team, tasks to be performed etc.

It is highly recommended to all officers on watch to work carefully and methodically through the content of this training guide; such approach is expected to have a significantly better appreciation of their duties and the way to support the Master of the vessel and become much more efficient and also more responsible member of the ship bridge team. Absolutely recommended source of professional training for the bridge crew members to improve their skills and knowledge.

The main part of the content of this volume is based on the materials presented in the course of the Sixth International Conference dedicated to the issues related to collision/grounding of the vessels and offshore installations. The presenters have covered the most important topics on the collision and grounding of ships and the compilers of this book have spent quite a lot of time trying to select the best of the materials for inclusion.

Among the matters addressed during the conference there were modeling and simulation systems for investigating marine accidents. latest vessel collision risk studies, application of the fracture mechanics to the assessment of the progressive structural failures of damaged vessels, collision tests. bridge crossings, feasibility of the grounding/collision data for the probabilistic modeling of the ship accidents. failure strain prediction, FSI analysis technique and its application to the structural safety assessment, collisions of the vessels against bridge piers, quays and wind turbines, numerical and experimental investigations, review of the different methods, crashworthiness studies of the LNG carriers, and so many other interesting and critically important topics...

Since the time of its original publication which was 1964, the present book has become one of the market leaders and is still there among the most popular publication o the shipping industry. And here is the ninth release of this book, with its content significantly revised and updated in order to be in line with so many important changes that have occurred in the maritime industry in the very recent time, i.e. since the time of the previous release of the book.

The authors have covered the impact that the world economic crisis had on the shipping industry, the expansion of the Panama Canal and newly implemented legislation. All of the information and data tables have been updated and also there are so many new illustrations. The publication explains the fundamental elements of shipping in a very professional manner; the issues covered in the pages of the volume cover the operational and commercial points, legal and commercial consideration, actually everything is covered including the logistical, technical and even financial and managerial matters.

What it means if that the present book will be of great practical use for everyone, because every person engaged in the maritime industry will find something useful, does not matter whether he or she is a technical person or seafarer or shore-based employee. The authors have also explored how exactly the maritime markets behave and have provided a good overview of the international sea ports and shipping industry in general.

We recommend you to spend an hour watching the "Birth of Victory" which is the educational documentary video film telling you about the American shipyards and their work during the Word War Two. With battle fronts separated by vast oceans the conduct of a global war depends upon mass waterborne transportation of materiel.

This means ships, ships, and more ships, a truly huge necessity which required heroic performance of all employees of the shipyards. In fact, the intention of the people who produced this film was to show and describe the very important role played by the perfectly organized ship construction industry of America at that times.

We are quite sure that you will be greatly impressed with the content of the video as some of the facts are incredible...

The present collection of training materials was prepared by Mr. J. D. O'Connor, Professor of Phonetics in the University of London. The pack consists of the book itself supplemented with the eight high-quality audio files in mp3 format. The intention is to cover following seven matters considered most important and telling the students how exactly the speech organs work (in English language), different problems in pronunciation, the English consonants and vowels in English, intonation issued and consonant sequences, plus the words in company.

This material on which this training course is based will be useful for all learners of English language who are willing to significantly improve their pronunciation. Use the audio files and check if your pronunciation differs from the one recommended by the compilers of the course. Try and follow the recommendations presented and you will reach the goal.
