In the meantime, the second part of the publication will show readers how to use the first part and put it into practice. The publication also includes numerous sections dealing with writing reports and essays, summarizing and plotting short stories...

The second edition of one of the most popular and recognized marine engineering textbook in the world. This publication is dealing with absolutely all aspects of a vessel's machinery starting from propulsion and steering arrangements, to the deck machinery, ship systems, as well as all possible electrical installations and other machinery-related items with the emphasis made upon safe and correct procedures.

The material presented in the very first release of the publication has been significantly enlarged and revised in order to reflect the greater weight that is being placed upon the cost effectiveness of the ship operation. This book is widely treated as the invaluable guidance for the industry professionals; however, it shall be noted that this book is equally covering the requirements to the Certificates of Competency (COC) for Class 3 and Class 4 Engineers. It will be of great help to anyone professionally interested in marine engineering and ship design.

In short, it is definitely the marine engineering bible since it provides so much of technical information presented in a very easily understandable manner. The text material of the book is supplemented with the numerous diagrams and images for better understanding. According to the customer reviews, the book is the excellent and outstanding work.

The content of the present excellent book is mainly based on the reviewed and updated information of this edition. The volume has been prepared by the award-winning author of many other naval architecture books and former VP of RINA. The book will be ideal for the people making their first steps in the subject an also for those willing to refresh their technical knowledge.

The title will provide all of them with a remarkably broad appreciation of naval architecture explaining the theory in physical terms without submerging the readers too deep into the mathematics. The author have covered all basic principles of naval architecture and has also addressed the contemporary fields, such as the design and manufacture using the computer aid, i.e. CAD/CAM. This latest release of the book is reflecting literally all ongoing technical developments and also addresses the international regulations. The content of the book is very easy to follow and this approach has already made this book very popular among the newcomers.

Of course, a proper knowledge and understanding of the basics of naval architecture is critically important not only for them but also to all other people who are working in the marine industry, such as the marine engineers, ship surveyors and crew members, as they all have to possess at least some general knowledge of the subject.

This book has become a best—seller among all knotting books of today. Though it is quite compact, the content is covering literally all most practical and useful marine knots together with the whippings, hitches, bends and splices used frequently by all seamen. It is showing the readers not only how to tie a particular knot or hitch but also how to use it in the most effective way.

One of the features of this forth release of the title is that it includes the QR codes linking it to the explanatory videos. The straightforward text prepared by Colin Jarman and excellent color images make this publication very reader—friendly and actually ideal for the crew members and students. It is definitely the must—have book for any person going to the sea. The recent decades have shown the significant developments in the materials and construction techniques and they still continue to develop very rapidly being driven by the very high performance needs of the maritime and offshore industry. The book starts with the chapter dedicated to the materials, including newly introduced ones, and their mechanical properties.

The main body of the document is arranged in three big parts addressing the knots, hitches and bends, then whippings and, finally, splicing. They are preceded with some general introductory information about the ropes and explanation of the relevant terminology. Needless to say that the instructions provided in the pages of this popular title will be of great interest to the working seafarers as well as to the seafarers of the future who are only making their first steps in the field.

The present official IMO publication is containing three basic and critically important regulatory instruments that are commonly used by the organization, directly dealing with the LSA, i.e. life-saving appliances. Those three instruments are the LSA Code, together with the Revised Recommendation of Testing of LSA, and, finally, the Code of Practice dealing with the prototype novel LSA.

The LSA Code was officially adopted during of the sixty-sixth session of the IMO MSC. The main objective of the document was to provide all participants of the shipping industry with the requirements that are applicable to the LSA commonly required  y SOLAS Chapter III - this would typically include the personal LSA, for example lifebuoys and inflatable lifejackets, immersion/anti-exposure suits, various thermal protective aids, visual aids including pyrotechnics items, survival crafts including lifeboats, inflatable and rigid liferafts, rescue boats, various embarkation systems including MES, i.e. marine evacuation systems, linethrowers, general alarm and PA (public address) systems.

An absolutely must-have publication on board any vessel subject to compliance with the provisions that are outlined in the IMO SOLAS Convention. The crew members will have all required information related to all lifesaving appliances that they have or supposed to have on board their vessel.

The overall declared objectives of this computer-based training course developed by Marlins are to provide necessary instruction, training and explanation about all aspects of lifeboat operation, maintenance and certification, to describe the construction and working principles of the major components of the typical lifeboat systems, to highlight the regulations and the requirements, to provide explanations of abandon ship drill and procedures, provide a means to reinforce familiarization of equipment on board the ship, to test senior officers and crew on their understanding of lifeboat arrangement, operations and inspection/maintenance.

The course for Support level covers overview of lifeboat training, typical arrangement, operating procedure, lifeboat inspection and maintenance, relevant regulations and requirements, and common incidents. After study of the first section of this training course, you shall be able to understand the whole importance of having lifeboat training, identify where lifeboat training can be carried out, specify the intervals for having lifeboat training, list the knowledge and skills you can obtain from lifeboat training, and describe how this computer-based training can enhance lifeboat training. The exercises are presented in the form of a questionnaire.​

This training publication was prepared and released by the NTNU-Trondheim in order to establish probabilistic safety distances for LNG bunkering operations. The main economical and environmental benefits of using the LNG as marine fuel oil are widely recognized within the shipping industry. Today, construction of the infrastructure relating to the LNG bunkering is rapidly developing, responding to the constantly growing industry.

Numerous ports are currently preparing to supply liquefied gas fuel; however, there are some uncertainties related to the process of bunkering as well as to the operational safety. Recently, there were some research works conducted to get the available LNG bunkering solutions standardized, including launching of the related ISO guideline and RP by DNV.

Subject documents were mainly focused on the operational safety of bunkering, and on establishing of the safety zones; since very high risk is implied in the vicinity of the bunkering operations, and ferries (the main customers for the LNG fuel) have passengers most of the time, who are not allowed to present during such operations, the limitations imposed by the current regulations reduce the functionality and, consequently the competitiveness of LNG - that is why such fuel is a bit problematic for the ferry shipping companies...
