This second edition deals comprehensively with all aspects of a ship's machinery from propulsion and steering to deck machinery and electrical equipment with a strong emphasis upon correct and safe procedures. Material has been added and revised to reflect the greater weight now being placed upon the cost-effective operation of ships; in terms of greater equipment reliability, more fuel-efficient engines, the ever-increasing shift towards automatically operated machinery, and the need for fewer engineering crew. This is an invaluable guide for professionals but equally covers the requirements for Class 4 and Class 3 Engineer's Certificates of Competency, the first two years of the Engineer Cadet Training Scheme, and the Engineering Knowledge syllabus for the Master's Certificate. Review: An excellent beginners guide to start out - An excellent beginners guide to start out. Highly recommended. Review: Good book for an onboard engineer - I bought this book thinking it would be about ship and ship component design. It is not. However I learned a lot about the systems commonly present in ships so it worked out. Diagrams in the book are good and the text is written in English not Professor so that's nice.

Wow...
Can't say I enjoyed this book one bit. In fact, I resented it most of the time, due to my crazy teacher contradicting it all the time after, of course, telling me that the answers to all my questions could be found in this book! Anyway, aside from my professor's ridiculous antics if you need this book, than fine get it here. I had no problems with the shipping or the seller and though I have no idea why I have this book, it is indeed a hassle free purchase (I can't guarantee anything after the purchase however).

Not an introduction
Pretentious. Not a useful tool for learning. Poor examples and diagrams.

If you are studying marine engineering this is the book to buy.
This is a must have book if you are studying marine engineering it certainly helped me get through my course which I have recently qualified from. I would certainly recommend this to anyone it gives information in a clearer way than most I have found.
