Introduction to marine engineering

Product description

As an introduction to marine engineering, we might reasonably begin by

taking an overall look at the ship. The various duties of a marine

engineer all relate to the operation of the ship in a safe, reliable, efficient

and economic manner. The main propulsion machinery installed will

influence the machinery layout and determine the equipment and

auxiliaries installed. This will further determine the operational and

maintenance requirements for the ship and thus the knowledge

required and the duties to be performed by the marine engineer.
