Reeds Vol 5: Ship Construction for Marine Engineers

Reeds Vol 5 covers ship construction techniques and methods for all classes of the Merchant Navy marine deck and engineering Certificates of Competency (CoC) as well as students studying for degrees and diplomas in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. It is complementary to Reeds Vol 4 (Naval Architecture) and Reeds Vol 8 (General Engineering Knowledge). This new edition will be fully updated to reflect the recent changes to the Merchant Navy syllabus and current pathways to a sea-going engineering career. The techniques and methods of ship's construction are continually changing especially as materials science develops at a rapid pace. Reeds Vol 5 needs to be updated to keep pace with these developments. In particular, there will be updated sections on composite technology which will open up the potential market in the UK as well as appealing to more of the international market. Extensively illustrated, the book will also include sample examination questions with worked example answers to aid students in their learning.
