Another part of the Anatomy of the Ship collection - this one was prepared by Karl Heinz Marquardt with the intention to provide the enthusiasts of the naval history with the useful and interesting information on the USS Constitution. The ship in question is one of the six original frigates that served in the United States Navy Fleet and were ordered as a counter-measure to the Barbary corsairs.

These vessels were very fast and were heavily armed and their service was truly remarkable. The book contains all necessary technical specifications, drawings and images, giving the data on the ship's parts including hull, machinery, outfitting and armament. It will also be useful to ship modelers who may wish to build their own model of the USS Constitution as they will find all required technical data in the book.  Though at the first glance this book looks as the modeler's guide, it will be everything to even to people ignorant to model making.

We recommend it to everyone willing to possess the detailed construction plans of this truly magnificent vessel in his collection. It will be equally interesting to the naval historians, nautical experts, ship model builders, and any other sort of enthusiasts.

Though the electronic ship navigation is relatively new area, it is becoming more and more common, and this particularly relates to the commercial shipping. The present title by Adam Weintrit was prepared to offer its readers a real wealth of detailed data and information covering the various systems of nautical charting, showing how they operate and answering the most of the frequently asked questions related to the various electronic charts such as the RNC, ENC or DNC and associated systems like ECDIS and ECS.

This is the very first resource providing so much details covering all facets of ECS and ECDIS and it will definitely service as the true Bible for the users of ECDIS. Note that this publication not only provides required technical information to be used for the training programs but shall also be used by the practicing engineers engages in the field maintenance of the ECDIS.

In addition, the volume will present a specific practical interest to the people required to know about the selection and implementation, as well as the operational use and benefits of the above mentioned systems. The management matters have also been covered in this publication. The authors preferred not to go too deep into the purely technical details of actual construction and working principles of ECDIS.

Please have a close look in this very rare and classic publication - we are glad to offer you it's completely revised and significantly expanded edition. The Marvel Book of Ships has been originally dedicated to the United States Navy fleet and the authors of this publication have made a good and successful attempt to sheds some more light on the most important and glorious pages of the history of the US Navy; the main content of the book was prepared by Orton Porter Jackson, Captain of the U.S. Navy, together with Lieutenant Colonel Frank E. Evans, U.S.M.C.

Apart from the very interesting and valuable text part, the book contains twelve perfectly colored plates and more than four hundred excellent remarkably colorful and informative illustrations, all of them made from original photographic images - the total number of photos included in the book reaches four hundred; the color plates mentioned above are depicting, for example, landing of the marines at Vera Cruz, destroyer ships in a seaway, battle-fleet in action, national merchant fags and international code of signals, famous battleships of the past, submarines etc. In short, this interesting publication will serve as a very handy reference source and just a good reading for all historians as well as all other people with a deep and serious interest in the field of naval history.

This work by Robert Gardiner and Brian Lavery (who is also the author of the Shield of Empire book) is fully dedicated to the history of the sailing warships in the period stated on the front page. It belongs to the very popular Conway's History of the Ship series and will be of great use for people interested in the naval history and the warships of the past.

The book contains excellent illustrations and so many drawings, photographs and tables providing detailed information and will serve as the good reference source for enthusiasts. In addition to the main fourteen chapters, the publication also contains the Glossary for easier understanding of the terminology. The content of the publication has been restricted to the historical period between 1640 and 1840, i.e. to the time where sail was considered the major motive force for the vessels.

The book has been found to be one of the best volumes available today to provide readers with a concise yet comprehensive historical overview of sailing combat together with the detailed technical information on the sailing ships that used to make up the line of battle, as well as the supporting vessels. The text of the book is excellent and filled with additional supplementary materials, such as twenty-five data tables, and nearly two hundred ship drawings and photos. One of the best sources for the people willing to get a detailed account of the technologies that shaped the history of the mankind.

The V.Ships Management System (VMS) is the documentation which defines the responsibilities and procedures for all staff in order to undertake the management of vessels in a safe and consistent way across the Group. The V.Ships Ship Management Office (SMO) that is assigned to manage your vessel, is there to support you and the shipboard staff in carrying out the priorities above.

It is absolutely essential that staff, both at sea and at shore comply fully with the procedures as set out in the VMS documentation. These procedures have been developed over the last 20 years utilising thousands of man/years of operational experience in order to make continued improvements with a view to preventing accidents and incidents.

In the current, increasingly complex, operating environment, the procedures developed are regularly reviewed to ensure that V.Ships continually meets or exceeds the expectations of its clients, the regulators and the public for being a high quality Ship Manager. Full compliance with these procedures ensures that vessels are operated safely with a minimum risk of pollution to the marine environment. The success of our Ship Management business is tied to our operational reputation. We must ensure that we never put this reputation at risk.

The Tufmon MEV282... is suitable for 4-stroke diesel engines in the field of power generation or ships propulsion. The system is standard available in 2 versions MEV282203 and 213 with crankcase pressure measurement in 2 ranges, MEV282203 0...25mbar and MEV282213 -25 ... +25mbar. Instead of suction pumps or ventilators the MEV282203 and 213 takes the by blow by pressure initiated gas speed in the crankcase as driving medium to transport the oil mist from the starting point to the optical system in the measuring tube.

All various units come together with customer designed measuring tubes type TGL01759. 01862, 01862-1, 01863 and 01863-1. More types may be added if needed. The units have own sensors to collect data. With the help of software the data are combined and analysed to allow fast reactions to give pre-alarms or auto-stop orders to the relevant engine control devices.

The following data are collected by the MEV282203 and 213: Oil mist information taken by an optical line mounted in the TGL01XXX which is part of the crankcase ventilation tube, and Crankcase pressure information taken by a sensor placed on the tube or in the tube electronic box. The oil mist information is to be seen as the last barrier. Based on the fact that the oil mist production starts around 250:C. damage on running engine parts has already started.

This is the Discussion Paper dedicated to the Types of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) Carriers, prepared by the Shipping International Ltd. It was abbreviated from the Tanker Safety Training (LNG) publication. All gas cargoes can be transported only in a form of a liquid (i.e. neither gas nor even vapor) and, taking into account their physical/chemical properties, they have to be either at pressure greater than atmospheric pressure, or at temperatures below ambient temperature; the third option is in fact a combination of first two.

That is why all gas carriers are usually divided in three groups - fully-pressurized, semi-pressurized and refrigerated, and fully refrigerated. However, it shall be noted that the grouping names stated above are mostly used when discussing the types and classes of LPG rather than carriers of natural gas.

Take your time and just go through this short but very informative booklet and you will get a good knowledge of the nomenclature of the gas carriers and will be much more familiar with their types, general technical characteristics, descriptions of the construction and equipment, main advantages and disadvantages of the particular type etc. - excellent for training purposes.

Refrigerated goods have also been considered invariably perishable and that is one of the main reasons why their safe transportation will always be dependent on proper maintaining of the required carriage conditions of storage during the carriage. Actually, this is true for literally all cargoes and modes of transportation, though the conditions are seriously more critical for longer journeys. Refrigerated goods usually include both the chilled and frozen cargoes.

The chilled ones include fresh vegetables and fruits. Frozen products would not typically suffer in case of the over-cooling, while the chilled products could easily get damaged by the low temperatures. The final success and effectiveness of the whole marine transportation would mainly depend on thorough following the proper carriage instructions defining the conditions in which such types of cargo should be transported.

The valuable technical recommendations provided in the present document were drawn-up in order to provide the required assistance to both carriers and shippers in order to assess their transportation instructions with the final aim to improve the operation of the transport chains. Firstly, the general applicable requirements have been considered; this one is followed by the sections dedicated to the containerized goods and shipments that are undertaken by means of the reefer vessels...​​
