Summary:

The Maritime Engineer's Reference Book is a one-stop reference for engineers involved in marine engineering and naval architecture is by leading international contributors from one of the most respected stable of marine titles on the market. Material ranges from the basics to more advanced topics on the key areas of ship design, construction and operation. It covers classic topics including ship stability and manoeuvering as well as new technologies such as computer aided ship design and automated underwater vehicles.
