DRYDOCKING & SHIPBOARD MAINTENANCE A Guide For Industry - First Edition - Ref: DRYD The need for shipboard maintenance in an age of the principles of International Safety Management (ISM) has never been more important. If the industry is to operate at all it must be within the safety guidelines. Many shipboard tasks fall inside the planned maintenance programmes which can be conducted on a day to day basis but many of the annual tasks required to operate ships tend to accumulate and can only be catered for within a docking scenario. Over 100 Photographs - Numerous diagrams and check lists. Listing of Dry Dock operations, handling facilities, main ship builders and repair yards.

EVER THE APPRENTICE By Kenneth Rawson FRINA Ref: ETA This book recalls a time and way of life which are beginning to fade from memory. Kenneth Rawson saw major changes in society from a hangover of Victorian attitudes through his war experiences. He provides wonderful snapshots of life of life lived against a backdrop of historical events. He won a scholarship into the body responsible for the design of all warships for the Royal Navy thereby satisfying an intellectual endeavour and a deep love of the sea and ships. He was recognized in 1996 by the University of Portsmouth with the award of Doctor of Engineering, Honoris Causa.

FIFTY YEARS A SHIPBUILDER By Patrick G Martin FRINA FImarEST Ref: FYSB Having pursued the science of mapmaking, his earliest excursion abroad took him to the interior of Newfoundland as explorer and surveyor. Returning to Scotland, he was debarred from his intended entry to the Royal Navy due to colour blindness, but instead devoted the rest of his working life to Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. After serving his time as apprentice in a Scottish shipyard, he spent 4 years 'seatime' as an Engineer in the liners of Alfred Holt & Company of Liverpool mainly on the China Coast. Appointed Assistant Naval Architect with the same company in 1956, he later became Chief Naval Architect at Verolme Cork Dockyard (1960-1984), and finally a design consultant, principally in India, Singapore and Australia. This book tells the story of his fifty years as a shipbuilder. Member price: UK £19.45 EUR £21.83 OVS £25.80 Non-Member price: UK £21.45 EUR £23.80 OVS £27.80


MERCHANT SHIP NAVAL ARCHITECTURE By Dr DA Taylor FRINA & Dr Alan ST Tang MRINA Ref: MSNA This new and up-to-date book defines a ship and its parts, the methods used in calculating the areas and volumes of ships hulls (with worked examples), followed by chapters on Buoyancy, Stability and Trim; Ships and the Sea; Structural Strength; and Resistance, featuring the use of model testing and its relationship to full scale ships. It also features Propellers and Propulsion Manoeuvring and Motion Control; and Vibration, each of which is described from the first principles through to various formulas used in necessary calculations.

MULTI-HULL SHIPS By V. Dubrovsky FRINA, A. LyakhovitskyRef: MHS Catamarans, SWATH, and other multi-hull ships are among the dynamically progressing types of marine vessels both in terms of performance and production growth. This progress has been accompanied by a remarkable growth in the number of technical publications. Although these publications, scattered over many sources, decades, and languages, constitute a great database they cannot fulfill the demand for a comprehensive state-of-the-art reference book. This monograph satisfies such demand. For multi-hull ships it is what “Principles of Naval Architecture” (PNA) is for traditional ships.

SEAKEEPING: SHIP BEHAVIOUR IN ROUGH WEATHER (Second Edition) By Dr A R J M Lloyd FEng FRINARef: SEA01 Comprehensive revised account of waves, ship motions, trials, model testing, probability formulae, roll stabilisation, added resistance, slamming, deck wetness, propeller emergence, human factors, seakeeping criteria, operational effectiveness and the effect of hull form and size on seakeeping.

SAFETY MANAGEMENT AND ITS MARITIME APPLICATION By Professor Chengi Kuo FRINARef: SMMA The author introduces this book by asking a seemingly obvious question "What is safety?". To show there is no straightforward answer he illustrates from his experience in conducting a number of safety workshops worldwide. In the foreword to this book Mr E E Mitropoulos Secretary General of the IMO writes: "As Professor Kuo points out early in his book, safety is not an absolute concept and the levels chosen are based on shared values. It is for this reason that this book is so useful because it introduces safety concepts, explains safety terms, and demonstrates how the different techniques can be applied in practice.

SHIP KNOWLEDGE Third Edition By K Van DokkumRef: SHKN Ship Knowledge is all about ships and shipping. Topics range from the structure and systems of various types of modern ships, to engineering, maintenance, safety and the laws and regulations governing the shipping industry. The text is richly illustrated with detailed drawings, photographs and cross-sections of many different types of seagoing vessels, all in full colour, making the book extremely attractive and very infomative for anyone interested in shipping. After reading this book you will no longer think of a ship as an inanimate object, but as a completely self-supporting entity embodying all the modern technologies found in a small town. An indispensable book for anyone interested in modern shipping. Member price: UK £50.00 EUR £51.00 OVS £57.00 Non-Member price: UK £54.00 EUR £54.00 OVS £61.00


SHIPS WITH OUTRIGGERS by V. Dubrovsky FRINARef: SHWO This new book is focused specifically on a multi-hull-ship type having one or more small hulls, called outriggers, connected to a much larger main hull of any form. This book is kind of a supplement to MULTI- HULL SHIPS by Dubrovsky & Lyakhovitsky (MHS). Like MHS, the new “Ships with Outriggers” provides detailed technical discussions of arrangements, hydrostatics, propulsion and seakeeping in calm and rough seas, maneuvering, strength, and design of these ships, assuming that the reader is generally familiar with the background or can find it in MHS”.

SHIPS AND SCIENCE The Birth of Naval Architecture in the Scientific Revolution, 1600-1800, By Larrie D. Ferreiro MRINA Ref: SSBNA The first book to portray the birth of naval architecture as an integral part of the Scientific Revolution, examining its development and application across the major shipbuilding nations of Europe."Naval architecture was born in the mountains of Peru, in the mind of a French astronomer named Pierre Bouguer who never built a ship in his life." So writes Larrie Ferreiro at the beginning of this pioneering work on the science of naval architecture.

SHALLOW WATER AND SUPERCRITICAL SHIPS By Anatoly LyakhovitskyRef: SWSS This book presents systematic and detailed results of studying the hydrodynamics of ships in shallow water. Due to the current trend of building larger and faster ships, many coastal waters and inner waterways become shallow for these and future ships. Clear and detailed explanation is given how ship performance declines in shallow water at speeds approaching the critical speed, and how wasteful can be attempts to boost the propulsion engine unless the ship is designed for optimal regimes at sub critical speeds and can transit to supercritical regimes. Detailed description is also given how the energy wasted for propelling a ship at near-critical speeds in shallow water is transformed into generating destructive and dangerous waves.
