Marine Engineering / Nautical Sciences: New Titles

"General principles of the handling, stowage and carriage of cargoes -- Hatchwork and heavy lift cargoes -- Stowage properties of general cargoes -- Heavy lifting and project cargo -- Bulk cargoes -- Tanker cargoes -- Specialist cargoes: Timber, refrigerated and livestock cargoes -- Roll on, roll off operations -- Containers and containerisation -- Special cargoes, hazardous goods and deck cargoes -- Security and cargo documentation -- Passenger vessels -- Offshore trades --"

"chapters cover topics such as preliminary hazard identification and analysis, understanding and applying risk analysis, and constructing robust safety cases and arguments. The authors present an expert analysis of these themes through the lens of real-world examples and empirical research."

"In this Johns Hopkins Wavelengths series book, Jim Bellingham, an expert in autonomous oceanic robots, explores how these technologies advance deep-sea research and could enable future space missions to oceans on other planets"

"This book provides an outline of the Ship-to-Ship transfer process, and how ship's masters and officers can conduct this inherently dangerous activity safely. It is non-technical in detail making it an ideal resource for first-year students completing their studies in nautical science, or as a refresher resource for professionals already employed in the tanker sector."

"resent mechanisms for early detection and prevention of cyber-attacks, as well as security protocols based on testbed nautical simulator experiments, machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence applications. This collection of research articles addresses the ethical, societal and technical aspects of maritime cybersecurity and offers solutions to mitigate the threat of cyber-attacks."

"This book provides critical information relating to the design and construction of means of access onboard marine vessels and platforms, including ladders, walkways and ramps, hatches, and alternative access points. Uniquely, this book highlights the importance of considering human factors and ergonomics in engineering design."

"Moorings follows sailors from the Gulf of Kachchh in India as they voyage across the ocean on mechanized wooden sailing vessels known as vahans, or dhows. These voyages produce capital through moorings that are spatial, moral, material, and conceptual."

"Developed to complement Reeds Vol 8 (General Engineering for Marine Engineers), this indispensable textbook comprehensively covers the motor engineering syllabus for marine engineering officer cadets. Starting with the theoretical and practical thermodynamic operating cycles, the book is structured to give a description of the engines and components used to extract energy from fossil fuels and achieve high levels of efficiency. "

"Reeds Marine Distance Tables are the perfect ready-reckoner for captains, navigators and owners of merchant and cruise ships large and small wanting a quick and accurate distance reference between all the regularly used commercial ports around the world. They are also of increasing value to the superyacht fleet. "

"comprehensive guide to Port State Control (PSC) responsibilities and procedures, offering invaluable insights for maritime professionals. Through this book, readers will learn the intricacies of PSC inspections, contraventions, and detentions, as well as discharge requirements under MARPOL. The chapters cover topics such as the Port State Control regime, conduct of PSC officers, detention of vessels, and detailed inspections for vessel structural and equipment requirements"

"provides a rare perspective on performance by staff above and below deck on Caribbean cruise ships, as viewed through the lenses of race, class, and gender. Drawing on her experiences as a destination lecturer on Caribbean cruise lines for twenty years, Anita Gonzalez offers a unique viewpoint as she examines contemporary Caribbean cruise culture as an ethnographically complex site where North American and European travelers are exposed to other cultures through the orchestrated experiences on ship, and via excursions to ports. "

"serves as a critical resource for engineers, researchers, and policymakers, aiming to enhance the reliability, longevity, and sustainability of civil infrastructure systems, with emphasis on marine structures, in the face of diverse and challenging operational and environmental conditions"
