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...​​

The regulatory documentation included in this pack of papers was prepared and issued by the US Department of Transportation - USCG. NavRules International/Inland as of July 2013. The publication contains Introduction, Legal Citations, Conversion Table, Navigation Rules, Interpretative Rules, Demarcation Lines in accordance with the COLREGs, Penalty Provisions, Waters that have been specified by the Secretary, Alternative Compliance, Regulations on Vessel BTB (Bridge-to-bridge) Radiotelephone Communications, possible Exemptions from the certain provisions of these Rules that can be granted, various Navigational equipment including lights, shapes and signaling equipment. Demarcation Lines as per ColRegs have also been addressed.

This set of USCG Rules have been separately marked in order to demonstrate the existing differencies between the United States Inland and the International versions of these Rulebooks by means of the four different color codes, namely yellow, orange, blue, and green - the explanation on the use of the colors is there on the first pages of the book. The publication was released by Star Path School of Navigation.

And, we would highly recommend this set of books because of the second file containing the above mentioned Rules supplemented with the valuable descriptive annotations that have been provided by the maritime professionals that will be of particular use to the people having any sort of difficulties with understanding and feeling the spirit of the Rules.

This is the pack of regulatory documentation released by the USCG and consisting of two separate volumes addressing the Navigation Rules and Regulations. It contains both the Inland and International USCG-issued "Rules of the Road" together with their respective Annexes, regulations concerning the VTM (Vessel Traffic Management) and Bridge-to-bridge Radiotelephone Communications, together with all other relevant regulations for the waterway users. Effective date is 22 November 2014.

The second file contained in this pack is a Corrigendum, and it contains corrections, deletions, and also the insertions that are to be done to the Handbook. Such notes are denoted a black bold type. The publication starts with the legal citations followed by the conversion table. The main content of this document has been arranged in several subparts. The first one titled "General" will describe the application of this Rulebook and outline the responsibilities of all parties involved; moreover, it will list the general definitions used.

The other subparts address the sailing and steering rules, navigation lights/shapes, sound signals, light signals, exemptions from the requirements, penalty provisions, instructions on proper implementation of the rules, general operation of the ships, traffic management and other valuable relevant information.
