This Operation Manual was officially released by YANMAR Marine for 2YM15, 3YM20 and 3YM30) EPA certified marine diesel engines. Introduction; For Your Safety; Product Explanation; Operation; Maintenance and Inspection; Trouble and Troubleshooting; Piping Diagrams; Wiring Diagrams.

The document shall be read very carefully prior to operating subject engine to make sure you are using it in a correct way and keep in best condition. The paper shall be readily acceptable to all personnel involved in operation/maintenance of this equipment since it provides all required safety information and technical data.

While teaching the subject of machinery fault diagnostics and signal processing, and conducting short courses for industry professionals for more than fifteen years to the senior year and graduate students at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, I have always had a problem locating a single book on the subject.

Though there are excellent research journals and trade magazines on the subject, I have failed to locate a book without bias toward the equipment used or process followed for detecting faults in machines in general, and rotating machines in particular.

With this preamble I began to write this book, drawing on my experience with machinery condition monitoring while consulting for many industries in India and abroad over the last two decades. In many of my fault-detection exercises in the industries where I have consulted, I have come across technicians and engineers who wonder what fast Fourier transform (FFT) is, and I have been provided with a table full of numbers and asked to find the fault in the machines.

Many engineers in the field learn this subject from the technical brochure of the equipment they use, without understanding their limitations. They feel that since they have a piece of costly equipment at their disposal, they can detect and diagnose the fault in any machine. One of the purposes of this book is to eliminate such myths. No offense intended...

For years, this handbook has been considered one of the most comprehensive and popular reference works in the field of engineering, design and metalworking as well as the other relevant areas. It has been in wide use in technical schools and colleges as the practical and authoritative tool, providing students with the most basic and essential aspects of manufacturing practice.

The present release contains serious updates and revisions of the existing material and also some new materials; some of the major sections have been extensively renovated, including properties of the materials, machine elements, mathematics, gauging, threads, measuring, manufacturing etc. As a result, the content of the publication has been increased to nearly three thousand pages. Note that this volume is not just for the professionals, i.e. it can easily be used by any people with the interest in the fields of engineering mentioned above.

The carefully selected and compiled content of the volume has made this book world popular and treated as a Bible for the practicing engineers and students, with many readers calling it the best engineering reference book ever published. In short, we would recommend this publication for any technical person and consider it a must-have handbook on the bookshelf of any professional engineer.

The whole content of this technical archive for the MacGregor cranes is arranged in six chapters. The first two chapters provide general information and technical description while the third one is dedicated to the functions. The two chapters that are following provide personnel with the required information about the operation/maintenance of their cranes.

The first chapter addresses the service matters, including ordering of the spares, hydraulic system of the cranes and their mechanical and electrical equipment. The closing chapter is dealing with the spare parts for the machinery, pumping arrangements, and various electric and hydraulic components.

This manual released by the manufacturer, covers the MacGREGOR GLBE3025-22425GR hydraulic deck crane. It will definitely prove a valuable companion to everyone who is concerned with the operation of this hydraulic crane or otherwise in a responsible position.

The nine sections of this document cover the main and most important subjects, as follows: general, including safety issues, conversion tables, electric and hydraulic symbols; technical and design description; electric and hydraulic functions of the crane; operating instructions; crane operator's checklist; maintenance instructions and lubricating chart; general service instructions for all systems as well as mechanical and electrical equipment; extra equipment (if any); appendices; spare parts lists and illustrations.

We are now presenting are all eleven parts forming the latest officially released "Rules and Regulations for the Classification of Offshore Units" developed by Lloyd's Register professionals. The reader may find a comprehensive listing of contents at the beginning of each of the parts. In this release all editorial amendments were incorporated. As mentioned above, the Rulebook consists of eleven parts.

The first part is pretty introductory and contains general regulations. In the second part the authors address the rules to be followed during the manufacture, certification and testing of materials. The functional offshore unit types and their special features have been dealt with in the third part of the publication. The other parts have been dedicated to the steel unit offshore structures, machinery of the offshore units (both main and auxiliary), electrical and control engineering, safety systems, corrosion control matters, delineated hazardous areas and fire, offshore structures constructed of concrete, descriptions of the various ship type units and, finally, production, offloading and storage of liquefied gases in bulk.

The publication will definitely be useful and practical for all offshore industry members since it provides necessary technical information and applicable requirements to the offshore units that shall be followed in order to ensure their safe and efficient operation and maintenance.

Here is the pack of official publications released by one of the leaders in classification - Lloyd's Register of Shipping; it consists of four separate booklets - enhanced survey program preparation documents and questionnaires for bulk carriers (including ore carriers), chemical tankers, oil tankers, ore bulk oil ships.

All of them were officially released by Lloyds Register in 2010. In general, each document contains general preparation guidelines, survey planning programme and questionnaire, tank testing requirements, close-up and thickness measurement requirements, table of maximum permissible diminution of individual plates, stiffeners, topside and bottom areas. The preparation for survey is one of the key aspects of maintaining the class and the survey planning questionnaire is considered one of the critical documents, accordingly.

There are examples of properly completed questionnaire and survey programme included in the contents of these booklets. The document is fully complying with the IMO Res. A744(18), IACS URs Z10.1 and Z10.4 and Lloyd's Rules. These guidelines will assist vessel owners preparing for the surveys and provide necessary info required in this regard.

Another official MAN release.
