Ship Automation for Marine Engineers and ETOs : 2nd Edition

This publication looks in detail at the operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of onboard electrical systems and appliances. It provides guidance on how to read a variety of electrical diagrams, power and control circuit construction and components, troubleshooting techniques and regular maintenance. It can be used as a comprehensive source of reference for management and operational level engineers as well as ETOs at any stage of their career.

Working on board as an ETO or marine engineer requires efficient resolution of various malfunctions, which are often quite unpredictable, as well as essential maintenance tasks to help prevent the occurrence of malfunctions and breakdowns. This demands skills and troubleshooting techniques that cannot be learnt in marine academies and institutions, but are developed through years of experience on board.

 

This edition has been written bearing in mind the rapid changes in marine automation, focusing on demonstrating how to approach troubleshooting in an efficient manner, so that beginners in this field can quickly gain some level of proficiency.

This book will introduce you to a variety of modern electrical appliances that are utilised for ships’ automation and you will progress to reading electrical diagrams like a skilled electrician. If you find yourself reading something you already know, read it anyway; you may gain a better foundation for what follows. Every paragraph is considered important, so do not rush or try to cover a lot of pages in a short period of time. Once you have read each chapter, you should look at your current ship’s diagrams to find out what is common between the explanations and the reality you will encounter.

Personnel who will find this book both educational and informative include:

• Management level marine engineers
• operational level marine engineers
