The writing of text books requires a mixture of a certain amount of skill, an on-going commitment and a correct approach. This is very satisfying, even though the rewards may be uncertain. This book "Advanced Marine Engineering Knowledge - Volume II" written by Mr. Vikram Gokhale and Mr. N. Nanda, faculty of LBS College of Advanced Maritime Studies and Research, has a comprehensive coverage of the varied topics required at an advanced level by students for MEO Certificates of Competency at Operational and Management levels. I sincerely hope that this will encourage others and set new standards of training. Mr. Vikram Gokhale and Mr. N. Nanda are both Chief Engineers, with a lot of experience, not only as faculty in the teaching field, but also as ship-board engineers tackling a variety of problems. They have put in a lot of hard work, specially to cover the new topics at the Management level. I sincerely wish them the best of success in this book.

Mr. S. Chakrabarty Deputy Chief Surveyor with The Govt. of India, Ministry of Surface Transport, Directorate General of Shipping.

This book "Advanced Marine Engineering Knowledge - Volume II" has been written in response to the overwhelmingly good response to our earlier edition. We received a lot of feed-back, concerning possibility of many more topics, than were covered in our earlier edition. This prompted us to re-think the format, and we came to the conclusion that we could only do justice to the subject by bringing out a Volume II, which would cover a lot of subjects not present in Voh.}me I, but which are required as per the new STeW 95 requirements. The Marine engineer's work covers various fields, which are normally done by Specialists. In this Volume we have covered various fields in greater detail, such as Certification / Role of Classification Societies, New construction activity, P&I / Marine Insurance, Vibrations in"" ships, Fire protection! Emergency preparedness at Sea. All Marine engineers should find this book invaluable, especially those appearing for Certificates of Competency. Topics at the Management level have been presented in a concise, lucid and informative manner.

Ack]Olo,-\vledgeJoOle]Olts The authors gratefully acknowledge the help, information obtained and contributions from various of the Marine engineering fraternity, including the faculty of the Lal Bahadur Shastri College of Advanced Maritime Studies & Research, Mumbai. We are particularly appreciative of the information obtained through various books, technical magazines and other articles, which helped to cover the subject at an advanced level. We would also like to thank. Capt. S. M. Divekar, ex-Managing Director of Loss Prevention Association of India, who was a source of inspiration to us, and covered the topic of Marine Insurance at an advanced level. We would not attempt to enumerate all those who have contributed in some measure to this effort, since the list would be endless. This is more the result of an industry effort.

Mr. Vikram Gokhale and Mr. N. Nanda are both Marine engineers from the Marine Engineering College (DrvtET) , with extensive experience not only as Specialists in the marine field, but also as ship-board engineers, tackling a variety of problems. They have the necessary technical back-ground and training that makes a Marine engineer so unique.

The purpose of this book is to provide guidance. The authors cannot accept the responsibility or any consequences of use of this information for any other purposes. The opinions expressed here are those of the authors only.
