This edition of the Pub. 151 supersedes all previous releases. The distances stated in the table are in nm (nautical miles). Most of those distances are representing shortest routes and sometimes longer routes taking advantage of the favorable currents. In some cases the increased distances are shown; subject distances are resulting from the navigation routes that have been selected in order to avoid the dangers to navigation, for example the ice.

The ports of departure have been listed in alphabetical order together with the distances to the ports of arrival that have been listed straight below them. The authors have also listed the distances to the appropriate junction points. In order to obtain the required distance, users first have to find the port of departure in the list and then select the port of arrival and distance below. In the majority of cases, the distances in to and return directions are reciprocal; however, it may happen that they differ due to the different routes used taking advantage of weather and currents, as mentioned above.

In order to get the distance over the route passing through the junction point(s) you will have to find and manually add all distances for all of the sections into which the original route has been divided. The book contains charts that show the general routes, junction points in Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans, and conversion tables...

This book has been prepared by Hans-Gerhard Ramming aiming to cover all applications of the numerical modeling to various dynamic processes, as it is stated in the title. The information included by the author into this volume will definitely be found useful by all persons involved in various fields of marine science, oceanography and hydroengineering. The publication has been divided in eight major chapters.

The first chapter is mainly dedicated to the general differential equations of hydrodynamics - the system of such equations is formed by four of them, three of them are corresponding to the velocity and one to the pressure... Three chapters that follow are describing the steady motion, covering both numerical methods and providing some oceanographical examples, as well as ones for unsteady motion. The numerical treatment of tides has been addressed in the separate chapter, together with the various models of tidal rivers and shallow coastal waters.

The author has also paid particular attention to the application of the transport equations and periodic motion. The list of relevant figures is there at the end of the book. As it can be seen, the publication covers literally all important topics and can therefore be recommended to all people involved in marine hydrodynamics.

The main content of this technical manual was worked out by NOV specialists and then published by National Oilwell Varco to give all necessary information for the recommended day-to-day operation plus maintenance of the subject equipment. It has been prepared for the original design applications of the AmClyde crane.

Should the applications of this crane change, the applicable maintenance/operation procedures and information could change, accordingly. The manual is not intended to substitute any specialized comprehensive training for the operators and maintenance personnel.

We recommend to familiarize yourself with it and ensure complete understanding of this manual, equipment functions as well as safety features prior to operating or performing any maintenance to this equipment.

This operations and maintenance manual describes the hardware, software, and operational capabilities of the Nautronix, Inc. Marine System Model 6000, (NMS6000), Dynamic Positioning (DP) System. The manual provides instructions for using the system and any associated sub-systems, such as sensors, computers, and signal processing equipment.

Additionally, the manual provides information on system casualty troubleshooting, and corrective actions, and system test and maintenance procedures. The NMS6000 DP System controls vessel thrusters to maintain the vessel at specific heading and/or position goal setpoints, despite environmental forces that would tend to drive the vessel off-station.

In this pack you will find all necessary technical documentation relating to the NMF cranes. The instruction manual tells the reader what is really worth knowing about the cranes, provide the listing of the terms, symbols, cut-out and technical amendments, description of the cranes, their construction, parts, safety matters, operation of the cranes, their monitoring, troubleshooting, maintenance and repair, functional description etc.

Most of the documentation presented in the pack is in English and German languages. Most of the files are in .pdf format. Though the documentation covers the NMF cranes, it actually may be used as a reference source when you are looking for the information on any ship crane of the similar type. Needless to say that the documents contained in the present set are very important for the proper maintenance and operation of the cranes and must be possessed by any technician, crew member or any other people involved in any operation, maintenance, repair activities.

Moreover, there are some additional files included in the set, covering directional control valves by Denison Hydraulic, spare parts list, instructions for use of the descender device, service instructions for the geared limit switches and so many other valuable docs.

These two files provide all information required to be possessed by the personnel operating and performing maintenance of the NMF DK II cranes. The first document presents the instruction manual, while the second file contains fifty pages of electrical drawings.

This crane instruction manual opens with the general information and description of these cranes, basic safety moments and requirements to the personnel, pre-start inspections, emergency shutdown arrangements, monitoring of crane operation, troubleshooting, periodic maintenance and repair works, functional description of the hydraulic system, emergency hoisting of brakes, illustrations and spares etc.

This 2nd edition of this world popular reference book non electrical engineering provides readers with some basic theoretical knowledge and understanding of the theory and key operating principles of the various electrical equipment and systems. Each chapter of the present publication has been prepared by the industry professionals and many sections of the book are being concluded with a brief summary of the standards.

The present release has been thoroughly updated in accordance with the latest EMC advances, taking into account all recent developments in the field of power quality and operation and structure of the various power system - this all makes the book a truly invaluable guide for any electrical power engineer of today. We would recommend to treat this book as the unique, comprehensive yet concise reference source with valuable contributions and comments from the world recognized professionals in the field, providing straightforward, easily understandable and practical explanations, supplemented with the key info required by the engineers when performing their day-to-day tasks.

The authors have used the very clear descriptions and logical presentation of the technical data when explaining the basics of the electrical power and its applications.

Makers' updates and company circulars provide another source of information for seafarers concerning shipboard equipment and new technology. In this research eight percent of seafarers were not aware, at all. of any company circulars or makers' updates being circulated to sea-staff in their current/most recent company. In relation to the responses to tins question, seafarer nationality played a particularly significant role.

Having encountered a problem with the operation of a piece of equipment the overwhelming majority of respondents would consult a manual. Additionally, around a half of all respondents would consult colleagues. Department, ship type, seafarer age and nationality, were all found to influence the responses offered to tins question. In relation to the main engine maneuvering system engineers were very confident about their knowledge and understanding with 83% self-rating their knowledge of this equipment as 'excellent'. Engineers were less confident about their knowledge of oily water separators however with only 40% claiming 'excellent' knowledge of tins equipment. Overall engineers were least confident about high voltage equipment and 37% of engineers self-rated their knowledge of this equipment as 'basic' or even 'zero'. Navigation officers were markedly more confident about their understanding of AIS and GPS than they were about their understanding of ARPA, GMDSS, and ECDIS. ECDIS was the equipment which officers were least confident about overall, with 9% self-rating their understanding of ECDIS as 'zero1 and a further 21% suggesting it was basic.

Respondents were more confident about ARPA than they were about GMDSS with four percent self-rating their knowledge of ARPA as basic compared with 13% self-rating their knowledge of GMDSS as 'basic'. Although only a quarter of seafarers had an input into the identification of their training needs, almost half of respondents were expected to pay towards their training. Nationality, ship type, department, and age, all impacted upon the responses of seafarers to this question. In relation to compensation for lost leave almost half our respondents stated that it was not usual for them to be compensated for leave time lost as a result of required training in relation to new shipboard technology...
