Advanced Marine Systems Engineering: Ship Systems, Marine Propulsion, Offshore Technology, Navigation, Automation, Energy Systems, and Engineering ... Technology & Engineering Library, Band 5) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Have you ever wondered what keeps a vessel moving, powered, and safe hundreds of miles from the nearest port?

Whether you are a marine engineering student, a practicing engineer, or an offshore professional, understanding how a modern vessel operates requires more than knowledge of individual systems. It demands a clear understanding of how propulsion, electrical power, automation, navigation, and safety work together.

Marine Technology Engineering: Systems, Power, Control, and Intelligence in Modern Marine Design provides a comprehensive, practical guide to the interconnected technologies that power modern ships and offshore operations.

Inside this book, you will explore:

• Hull forms, stability, and vessel classifications.
• Direct-drive, geared, diesel-electric, hybrid, and fuel cell propulsion.
• Shipboard power generation, distribution, protection, and energy management.
• Automation, alarm systems, and unmanned machinery spaces.
• Bridge systems, navigation technologies, and data fusion.
• Autonomous and remotely operated vessels, including their regulatory frameworks.
• Offshore platforms, mooring systems, and dynamic positioning.
• Alternative fuels, wind-assisted propulsion, and waste heat recovery.
• Condition-based maintenance, reliability engineering, and root cause analysis.
• Marine cybersecurity and the protection of connected vessel systems.

Turn engineering theory into practical knowledge.

Work through engineering examples, realistic case studies, and practical problems covering shaft power, battery sizing, generator load sharing, energy efficiency, and incident investigation. A complete answer key supports independent learning and technical review.

International conventions, classification requirements, and industry standards are integrated throughout the book to connect engineering principles with real-world design and operational decisions.

Additional resources include a technical glossary, unit conversion tables, and a directory of relevant standards and regulatory bodies.

Whether you are building your technical foundation, preparing for professional development, or expanding your understanding of complex marine systems, this book offers a structured reference for exploring the technologies shaping modern marine engineering.

Understand the systems. Connect the technologies. Explore the future of marine engineering.
