The essential coursebook for all students studying general marine engineering.

General Engineering Knowledge for Marine Engineers considers the different needs of those studying ‘general’ marine engineering, including the most recent changes to the Merchant Navy syllabus and current pathways to a sea-going engineering career.

Accessibly written and clearly illustrated with technical engineering drawings, it covers all the latest equipment, practices and trends in marine engineering. It incorporates the 2010 Manila Amendments, particularly relating to management.

This latest edition reflects all the developments in the field, including updates and additions on, amongst other things:
- Sustainable ships systems
- Hybrid power and energy management systems
- Battery technology and hydrogen fuel cells
- Biofuels
- Waste heat recovery
- Corrosion of metals in sea water
- SOLAS rules on steering ships
- Electric vehicle battery fires

The book includes test examples for student self-assessment, and these have also been reviewed and updated to ensure this volume remains current.

Paul A Russell was Head of School at the National Sea Training Centre at North West Kent College, UK as well as lecturer in Marine Engineering at the University of Greenwich. He is Managing Director of Thamesview Maritime Limited, a marine engineering consultancy specialising in the professional development of marine engineers and has previously worked as the Editor for the journal Marine Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery.
