DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Ship Design and Performance for Masters and Mates is a quick to use, comprehensive reference that brings the key information needed to understand ship design and performance at your fingertips. The book covers all key aspects of ship design and performance, supplemented by exam revision one-liners. It does not assume detailed theoretical knowledge, but rather builds up the reader's understanding of how the elements of ship design influence and impact on its performance, and how the engineer, crew and operators can maximise the performance of their vessel in operation. Written by an experienced marine engineering consultant, author and lecturer, this book presents key facts and formulas, backed up throughout by relevant theory, illustrations and photographs. It includes examples of modern ship-types and their general particulars and covers topics ranging from design and power coefficients to types of ship resistance; types of ship speed; types of power on ships; designing a ship's propeller; details of maximum ship squats; the phenomena of interaction of ships in confined waters; mechanisms for improving ship handling; and improvements in power output. This book is an essential introduction and reference for students and those newly at sea, as well as for anyone involved with ship design, marine engineering, naval architecture, and the day-to-day operation of ships in port. * Accessible information on understanding and improving ship performance at your fingertips * Ideal for marine engineering students and those studying for certificates of competency * Covers all key aspects of ship design and performance, with exam revision one-liners

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This is a book of short stories and tall tales. Due to their long voyages over empty oceans and along hostile coasts deep sea mariners, both sailors and officers, develop some odd personal habits and personality traits. They are alternative thinkers by necessity. If anything goes wrong, no one is coming to help. In fact when ships go down, the souls have long disappeared before anyone even starts to look for them. These stories are about some of the odd individuals the author sailed with and unusual events he was involved in.
