Sinopsis

Message of This Book

This book provides clear and concise guidance for marine engineers preparing for professional Certificate of Competency oral examinations. It also offers a straightforward explanation of the fundamental steps in shipbuilding, along with essential maritime regulations related to ship operation and maintenance, specifically tailored for marine engineering professionals. Designed to support both onboard practitioners and students, it includes an appendix with vital information, sample quiz questions, and topics commonly encountered in professional exams or job interviews.

The primary aim of this book is to bridge the regulatory knowledge gap among marine engineers—a critical step toward ensuring safe, efficient, and sustainable operations at sea. Many engineers assume that compliance is solely the captain’s responsibility, often overlooking their own role. This mindset can lead to knowledge gaps, overreliance on others for routine compliance tasks, and potential operational disruptions.

Drawing on extensive experience as a Chief Engineer, senior surveyor, lead auditor, and educator, the author provides practical insights into key regulatory requirements necessary for effective ship operation and maintenance.

This book presents a concise guide to major IMO regulations, including SOLAS, MARPOL, Load Line, STCW, ISM Code, MLC, and ISPS Code. It also explains critical classification surveys such as machinery inspections, dry docking, underwater surveys, boiler checks, and more—specifically tailored for maritime engineering professionals. A distinctive feature is “Rahman’s Maritime Safety Circle Model,” which emphasizes safety, resilience, and sustainability at sea.
