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.

HUMAN FACTORS FOR NAVAL MARINE VEHICLE DESIGN & OPERATION By Jonathan M Ross MRINA Ref: HFNM There is a driving need for naval professionals to focus on human factor issues. The number of maritime accidents is increasing and the chief cause is human error, both by the designer and the operator. Decreasing crew size, lack of experienced operators, operations in higher sea states and fatigue worsen the situation. Automation can be a partial solution, but flawed automated systems actually can contribute to accidents at sea. This book integrates knowledge from numerous resources as well as the advice of a panel of eight recognised experts in the fields of related research, development and operation.

INTERIOR DESIGN METHODS FOR YACHT DESIGN AND THE BOAT BUILDING INDUSTRY By Lisa C. Hix Ref: IDMYD In a first-time release to industry and the general public, the Westlawn Institute of Marine Technology announced in April 2009 this textbook was now available for purchase. Specifically prepared as a textbook for Westlawn’s intensive Yacht & Boat Design Program, and also used as the text for Westlawn’s continuing education course in boat interior design this book provides detailed technical information not available from any other source. Heavily illustrated, with numerous line drawings and photos on nearly every page, this textbook will answer almost any question a designer, builder, surveyor, crewmember, or serious boater may have about the accommodations and arrangements required for safe, comfortable, and efficient crew and passenger spaces. Though focused on boats (vessels under 200 feet or 60 meters), the information is equally valuable for commercial vessels of all sizes.

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. Member price: UK £36.50 EUR £36.50 OVS £37.50 Non-Member price: UK £38.50 EUR £38.50 OVS £39.50


MULTI-HULL SHIPS By V. Dubrovsky FRINA, A. Lyakhovitsky Ref: 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.

SAFETY MANAGEMENT AND ITS MARITIME APPLICATION By Professor Chengi Kuo FRINA Ref: 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.

SEA OFFICER By Michael Penny Ref: SO This book records the life of a working sailor in The Royal Navy & British Merchant Marine in the second half of the 20th Century. The narrative begins in the closing days of World War II when a teenager discovers his lifelong vocation. His subsequent career at sea is filled with people and ships, famous and everyday. A life rich in excitement and love, triumph and disaster, humour and laughter unfolds. Whilst this is a biography of a mariner it encompasses naval architecture, architects and the technical complexities of ships. Mr Penny is a companion of RINA.

SHALLOW WATER AND SUPERCRITICAL SHIPS By Anatoly Lyakhovitsky Ref: 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.

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.

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 informative 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 FRINA Ref: SHWO This 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”.

SWAN HUNTER BUILT SHIPS By Ian Buxton FRINA Ref: SHBS The first order for a warship at 'Swans' was placed in 1907. There then followed a steady stream of orders, peaking during the course of the two World Wars and culminating with the orders in 2000 for two Auxiliary Landing Ships (Logistic) and the subsequent debacle. During this intervening period, the actual organisation behind the shipbuilding effort changed on a number of occasions, albeit the name of 'Swans' remained to the fore. Following on from Swan Hunter's final withdrawal from shipbuilding in 2006, this book is a nostalgic look at a proud heritage of shipbuilding on the Tyne.
