Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants – the Future in Marine

As awareness of shipping’s impact on the environment grows, increasing attention is being paid to “operational lubricant discharges”. Such leakage of lubricating oil, in the course of normal operations, may occur both from underwater equipment (sterntubes, controllable pitch propellers, thrusters and pods, steering gear, stabilisers) and from above the waterline equipment (such as cranes, davit...

Expert System for Diagnosis and Optimisation of Marine Diesel Engines

Original scientific paper The doctoral, thesis: “Expert System for Diagnosis and Optimisation of Marine Diesel Engines” is the result of many years of extensive practical and theoretical work on problems in the field of testing marine diesel engines and incorporating new technology during diagnosis. This work deals with problems of a complex analysis and testing a system of Diesel engine parame...

Eddy Current Non-Destructive Testing Application Research of Marine Engines

Exist forms and criticalities of disfigurements of marine engines were studied from main propulsive engine, auxiliary facility and hull. Eddy current Non-destructive testing method was brought forward to disfigurement inspection of marine engines with advantages such as celerity and nicety. Cracks, as one form of disfigurements, testing of marine engines were demonstrated in detail, and the dev...

Understanding Marine Microbes, the Driving Engines of the Ocean

When you hear the word microbes, what comes to your mind? Something much too small to see and that makes you fall ill? Just because some microbes cause diseases that does not mean they are all evil. For example, in the marine (ocean) environment, the vast majority of microbes are good ones. They are the “driving engines” of the ocean and are essential for the health of our whole planet. Unfortu...
