Description
Book SynopsisA text for students and sea-going engineers in the operation, care and maintenance of the auxillary machinery and apparatus on board ship. It should be useful for marine engineers preparing for British Certificates of Competency examinations, US licences and similar qualifications elsewhere.
Trade Review"The strength and depth of information contained in the book, together with the clarity of the line drawings, makes it ideal for marine engineers studying for certificates of competency but it would also be extremely useful for marine engineer cadets and undergraduate marine engineers. Practising marine engineers, both ashore and afloat would also benefit from possession of this volume which is highly recommended." --Marine Engineer's Review
