I keep receiving a lot of messages with regard on what you need to do in order to enter the Marine Engineering field and become a Marine Engineer. Marine Engineering is a critical profession that forms the backbone of the maritime industry. The area of maritime engineering is a fascinating one that plays an important…
A system of Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) is installed on each vessel and this is a method of corrosion protection which automatically controls the electrochemical corrosion of the ship’s hull below the waterline. This includes the external hull surface and the internal surfaces of tanks containing seawater, e.g. ballast tanks. What is Cathodic Protection?…
All along the ship’s length, the ballast system utilizes water tanks positioned in the double bottom, along the sidewalls, and beneath the ship’s main deck.In order to keep the ship’s draught and trim proper, to provide maximum stability, and to keep the ship’s stress and bending moments within acceptable limits, water is added to or…
