About Introduction To Marine Engineering, Revised 2nd
Product Description This second edition deals comprehensively with all aspects of a ship's machinery from propulsion and steering to deck machinery and electrical equipment with a strong emphasis upon correct and safe procedures. Material has been added and revised to reflect the greater weight now being placed upon the cost-effective operation of ships; in terms of greater equipment reliability, more fuel-efficient engines, the ever-increasing shift towards automatically operated machinery, and the need for fewer engineering crew. This is an invaluable guide for professionals but equally covers the requirements for Class 4 and Class 3 Engineer's Certificates of Competency, the first two years of the Engineer Cadet Training Scheme, and the Engineering Knowledge syllabus for the Master's Certificate. Review "Deals comprehensively with all aspects of a ship's machinery from propulsion and steering to deck machinery and electrical equipment. The scope of the book amply covers the level required for the Class 3 and 4 Engineer's Certificates of Competency." --Offshore Engineer, October 2004 From the Publisher This book successfully explains the operation of all the ship's machinery and provides an invaluable guide to anyone with a professional interest in marine engineering, with an emphasis always being placed upon safe and correct procedures. Material is included to reflect the greater importance now attached to cost-effective operation of ships in terms of equipment reliability, more fuel-efficient engines and the ever-increasing shift towards automatically operated machinery and the need for fewer engineering crew.
