Description: Marine survey reports frequently contain nautical and engineering terminology which can be unfamiliar to anyone in the shipping and marine insurance industry who does not have a technical background. In an attempt to bridge this gap we have produced this small guide book which covers some of the common terminology, often encountered in survey reports, in reference to ships, their engines and related operations. By no means should this guide book be considered a complete dictionary encompassing the entire terminology but we hope that it will assist the marine community. The first version (Ver.01) of this booklet was published in 2010 and was very positively received by the marine insurance and wider shipping markets. The feedback collected from the various readers prompted us to publish a second edition of the
guide which included additional data such as explanations on gross and net register tonnages, subdivision and load line, deck mooring fittings and lifting appliances, whilst some useful guide formulas are included on selection of wires and synthetic ropes.In the machinery section we also included some additional data regarding gear boxes, fuel and lubricating oil systems, purifiers, transmission systems, whilst the sheer scale of marine engines, in comparison to a human body, can now be appreciated within the section of typical propulsion engines.In this edition (V3), we include additional information covering basic definitions, geometry and principal dimensions, definitions of geometry, tonnage definitions, information on water ballasting and displacement, container ship construction, types of rudders and components and materials used in rudder construction, rudder turning, propeller terminology, deck machinery, cargo handling, dry docking and types of dry docks.In the machinery section there is further information on types of propulsion, types of engine, ship service systems and ship motion control. Once again the aim was to keep the guide book simple and easy to use providing users with a quick reference tool with easily understood illustrations.
