~ eaching and Writing are skills which require a certain degree of talent, not
~ given to all.

The writing of text books requires a mixture of a certain amount of skill,


an on-going commitment and a correct approach. This is very satisfying, even
though the rewards may be uncertain.
This book "Advanced Marine Engineering Knowledge - Volume II"
written by Mr. Vikram Gokhale and Mr. N. Nanda, faculty of LBS College of
Advanced Maritime Studies and Research, has a comprehensive coverage of the
varied topics required at an advanced level by students for MEO Certificates of
Competency at Operational and Management levels. I sincerely hope that this
will encourage others and set new standards of training.
Mr. Vikram Gokhale and Mr. N. Nanda are both Chief Engineers, with a
lot of experience, not only as faculty in the teaching field, but also as ship-board
engineers tackling a variety of problems. They have put in a lot of hard work,
specially to cover the new topics at the Management level. I sincerely wish
them the best of success in this book.

This book "Advanced Marine Engineering Knowledge - Volume II" has been
written in response to the overwhelmingly good response to our earlier edition. We
received a lot of feed-back, concerning possibility of many more topics, than were
covered in our earlier edition.
This prompted us to re-think the format, and we came to the conclusion that we
could only do justice to the subject by bringing out a Volume II, which would cover a lot
of subjects not present in Voh.}me I, but which are required as per the new STeW 95
requirements.
The Marine engineer's work covers various fields, which are normally done by
Specialists. In this Volume we have covered various fields in greater detail, such as
Certification / Role of Classification Societies, New construction activity, P&I / Marine
Insurance, Vibrations in"" ships, Fire protection! Emergency preparedness at Sea.
All Marine engineers should find this book invaluable, especially those appearing
for Certificates of Competency. Topics at the Management level have been presented in a
concise, lucid and informative manner.

The authors gratefully acknowledge the help, information obtained and


contributions from various members of the Marine engineering fraternity, including the
faculty of the Lal Bahadur Shastri College of Advanced Maritime Studies & Research,
Mumbai.
We are particularly appreciative of the information obtained through various
books, technical magazines and other articles, which helped to cover the subject at an
advanced level.
We would also like to thank. Capt. S. M. Divekar, ex-Managing Director of Loss
Prevention Association of India, who was a source of inspiration to us, and covered the
topic of Marine Insurance at an advanced level. We would not attempt to enumerate all
those who have contributed in some measure to this effort, since the list would be
endless. This is more the result of an industry effort.

Mr. Vikram Gokhale and Mr. N. Nanda are both Marine engineers from the
Marine Engineering College (DrvtET) , with extensive experience not only as Specialists
in the marine field, but also as ship-board engineers, tackling a variety of problems.
They have the necessary technical back-ground and training that makes a Marine
engineer so unique.

The purpose of this book is to provide guidance. The authors cannot accept the
responsibility or any consequences of use of this information for any other purposes. The
opinions expressed here are those of the authors only.
