Occupational accidents aboard merchant ships.

OBJECTIVES To investigate the frequency, circumstances, and causes of occupational accidents aboard merchant ships in international trade, and to identify risk factors for the occurrence of occupational accidents as well as dangerous working situations where possible preventive measures may be initiated. METHODS The study is a historical follow up on occupational accidents among crew aboard D...

Hospitalisations among seafarers on merchant ships.

AIMS To study morbidity among active seafarers in the merchant navy in order to clarify possible work related morbidity and the morbidity related to work and lifestyle where possible preventive measures may be initiated. METHODS From a register in the Danish Maritime Authority a cohort of Danish merchant seafarers who had been actively employed at sea in 1995 was identified. For each seafarer...

Recommendations for assessing water quality and safety on board merchant ships.

INTRODUCTION Health and diseases on board ships may depend on water. Interventions to improve the quality of water may bring to significant benefits to health and water stores/supply and should be controlledto protect health. This paper has reviewed the main regulations for the control of water safety and qualityon board ships and presents some practical recommendations for keeping water health...

Tube Temperature Distribution in Water Tube Boiler- A Parametric Study by Finite Element Method

This paper presents the application of finite element method (FEM) to analyze the tube temperature distribution in a water tube boiler. Two-dimensional (2-D) finite element models are developed where the axi-symmetric triangular elements for the cross section area along the water tube are applied in computer software namely MSC Patran-Nastran. The analysis of the temperature distribution for ev...
