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.
