The authoritative manual of the modern maritime fleet
The global maritime industry is not a monolith; it is a highly specialized, diverse ecosystem composed of thousands of uniquely designed ships. Each vessel type is an engineering marvel, purpose-built to solve specific logistical, physical, and thermodynamic challenges on the high seas.
Authored by Lalith Prasanna Madanayake, this comprehensive technical guide dissects the architecture, systems, and operations of the modern commercial and naval fleets. Moving beyond generic overviews, this book explores the extreme technical details required by Chief Engineers and Ship Masters to operate these vessels safely and efficiently.
Inside, you will discover:
***Tanker Operations:** Oil Tankers, VLCCs, Chemical and Product Tankers, including Inert Gas and complex pumping systems.
***Gas Carriers:** The cryogenic challenges of LNG and LPG Gas Carriers, reliquefaction plants, and membrane vs. moss tanks.
***Dry Cargo:** Bulk Carriers, Roll-on/Roll-off (Ro-Ro), and Car Carriers.
***Offshore & Specialized:** Offshore Support Vessels (OSVs & AHTS), Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems, Dredgers, and Heavy Lift Vessels.
***The Future Fleet:** Naval and Coast Guard vessels, stealth hulls, AI navigation, and zero-emission propulsors for autonomous ships.
