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.

Anyway, aside from my profes. "Perfect for anyone interested in this subject!!" according to Victor Lazlo. This book on ship design and engineering is an outstanding work! I was visiting a friend of mine who is a retired designer, having worked in Gibbs & Cox (one of America's most respected naval architect and engineering firms)for many years, and came across t. "Have to be updated!!!" according to Marcos Mattos. This book have to be updated with the new technologies. I do not recommend it! It will be useless to me!
