This indispensible guide to ship stability covers essential topics such as flotation & buoyancy, small angle, large angle & longitudinal stability, water density effects, bilging, ship resistance, & advanced hydrostatics. Each chapter has a comprehensive list of aims & objectives at the start of the topic, followed by a check-list at the end of the topic for students to ensure that they have developed all the relevant skills before moving onto the next topic area. The book features over 170 worked examples with fully explained solutions, enabling students to work through the examples to build up their knowledge & develop the necessary key skills. The worked examples, which range in difficulty from very simple one-step solutions to SQA standard exam questions & above, are predominantly based on a hypothetical ship. The reader is supplied with extracts from a typical data book for the ship which replicates those found on actual ships, enabling the reader to develop & practise real-life skills. ...

Divided into three sections, the book covers the complete syllabus for Electrotechnology Officers as specified by the Association of Marine Electronic & Radio Colleges (AMERC), with a series of worked examples & self-study questions to assist in student understanding. The book introduces basic electronics, the theory of how a range of navigational aids works, & radio communications including GMDSS. Fault finding to component & sub system level is also included. Importantly, this is the first textbook to be aimed primarily at ETOs, covering the changes to the STCW 2010. An essential buy. ...

This exciting new edition covers the core subject areas of arithmetic, algebra, mensuration in 2D & 3D, trigonometry & geometry, graphs, calculus & statistics & probability for Marine Engineering students for the Merchant Navy OOW qualification. Initial examples have been designed purely to practise mathematical technique &, once these skills have been mastered, further examples focus on engineering situations where the appropriate skills may be utilised. The practical questions are primarily from a marine engineering background but questions from other disciplines, such as electrical engineering, will also be covered, & reference made to the use of advanced calculators where relevant. ...

The book covers the principal topics in applied mechanics for professional trainees studying Merchant Navy Marine Engineering Certificates of Competency (Co C) as well as the core syllabi in applied mechanics for undergraduates studying for BSc, BEng & MEng degrees in marine engineering, naval architecture & other marine technology related programmes. The revised version takes into account the need of these students, recognising recent changes to the Merchant Navy syllabus & current pathways to a sea-going engineering career, including National diplomas, Higher National Diploma & degree courses. Basic principles are dealt with, beginning at a fairly elemental stage, with this new edition applying the underlying principles to a shipping environment. Each chapter has fully worked examples interwoven into the text, with test examples set at the end of each chapter. Other revisions include examples reflecting modern machines & practice, current legislation & current syllabi. ...

Volume four of Reed`s Marine Engineering Series” is based on the Naval Architecture syllabuses for the Certificate of Competency for Class 2 & Class 1 Marine Engineer Officers, administered on behalf of the UK Department of Transport & SCOTVEC. Explanatory diagrams & worked examples should assist the student to assimilate the principles, & typical exam questions should test knowledge.” ...

This textbook covers ship construction techniques & methods for all classes of Merchant Navy marine deck & engineering Certificates of Competency (Co C) as well as Undergraduate students studying Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering. It is complementary to Volume 4 (Naval Architecture) & Volume 8 (General Engineering Knowledge). Importantly, this new edition contains up-to-date information on modern shipyards, dry-docking procedures & methods of construction. Extensively illustrated, the book also

Includes:: sample examination questions with worked examples answers to aid students in their learning.

This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the basic theoretical work required by marine engineering officers & electrotechnical officers (ETOs), putting into place key fundamental building blocks & topics in electrotechnology before progressing to more complex topics & electromagnetic systems. Revisions will include important new material on emergent technology such as image intensifiers, the increased maritime use of LEDs, examples of ship systems including power distribution systems, & references to modern ship systems, eg. GPS, ECDIS, Radar, AIS, Comms outfits, etc. This essential text offers a truly rigorous approach to the key topic of electrotechnology. ...

This book is a companion to Reeds Vol. 6: Basic Electrotechnology for Marine Engineers & covers aspects of theory beyond the scope of Volume 6. The book will cover the more advanced topics in electrotechnology for professional trainees studying Merchant Navy Marine Engineering Certificates of Competency (Co C) as well as the syllabi in electrotechnology for undergraduates studying for BSc, BEng & MEng degrees in marine engineering & electrical engineering. The new edition will provide worked examples & test exam questions, corresponding to current Merchant Navy Qualifications. Other revisions will include new material on emerging technology areas such as image intensifiers (photoelectric effect, secondary emission), thermal imaging cameras, radar, increased maritime use of LEDs, various semiconductor physics devices including the laser, as well as discussions of binary or digital theory. ...

Developed to complement Reeds Vol. 12 (Motor Engineering for Marine Engineers), this textbook is key for all marine engineering officer cadets. This new edition has been extensively updated to include the latest equipment, practices & trends in marine engineering, as well as incorporating the 2010 Manila Amendments, particularly relating to Management. Accessibly written & clearly illustrated, this book is the core guide focusing on the knowledge needed for passing the engineering certificate of Competency (Co C) examinations. This key textbook takes into account the varying needs of students studying motor engineering, recognising recent changes to the Merchant Navy syllabus & current pathways to a sea-going engineering career, including National diplomas, Higher National Diploma & degree courses. An essential buy for any marine engineering student. ...
