Learn some not-so-commonly-known features of marine generators and some overlooked but important points that are not commonly discussed or taught in training sessions or marine engineering books.
Trailers are used to haul goods that are very heavy in weight or huge in size. Trailer winches have cables that are designed to make the loading and unloading of commodities smoother and easier. In terms of boats, loading and unloading boats from trailers would become almost impossible, because of the bulk of the boat, in the absence of a boat trailer winch.
Learn about the construction, working and operation of Oil water separator used on ships, along with the MARPOL and design requirements.
Measuring instruments and gauges are used to measure various parameters such as clearance, diameter, depth, ovality, trueness etc. These tools measure important engineering parameters which describes the condition of the working machinery. Learn about different types of mechanical tools and gauges used on ships.

Maersk’s maritime software “eco voyage” is an innovative tool, which if used efficiently can help in reducing several problems of the shipping world. Find how you can help reduce your ship’s fuel cost using “Eco Voyage”.
A propeller guard or a prop guard, as it is more commonly known, consists of a steel cage which surrounds the propeller. The prop guard freely allows the movement of the propeller and safeguards it against rough underwater parts.
Several parameters affect efficient working of oily water separator on ships. Marine engineers must understand these factors in order to ensure satisfactory operation of oil water separators.
Researchers at the Swedish Gothenburg University have found molecules created by certain type of bacteria to prevent barnacles from clinging on the ship’s hull surface.
