Marine Engineering
Marine Engineering
As the name suggests this is the segment that deals with marine vessels including boats, ships, oil rigs etc. The domain includes specialized sea or ocean explorer machines, devises with float or deep dive capabilities thus extending to oceanographic engineering segment. Overall the implementation of engineering services to crafts, devices and propulsion mechanisms dealing with water bodies.
The implementation of available and relevant technologies start having an impact right from the design scheme, working operations and final dismantling of devices and vessels. Marine engineering services could be implemented while the vessel or device is in operation or on shore. The expanse of the field is as wide as the oceans themselves and encompasses all qualified engineering practices which work in tandem to ensure efficiency, safety and environment conservation through the life span. Here are the areas the specialized domains are usually concerned with:
- Marine architects are usually focussed on design cues and elements that enhance speed through the water.
- Mechanical professional work on the main propulsion power plant the power terrain, vessel steering, anchors, cargo movement, air-con as well as cooling. Post life experts are required for effective dismantling of the vessel.
- Electrical systems related to power generation, distribution, circuits and communications etc.
- Chemical and metallurgy related professionals deal with ensuring longevity of vessel life. Considering the risks involved with ocean salinity and partially submerged vessels, the important aspect relates to keeping the vessel safe from corrosion and environmental damage.
Condition Monitoring Few Examples
- Exceptionally well received and over a decade of increasing operation ability for diesel sea based diesel vessels with the diesel doctor.
- Acoustic sensing to enhance metal faul detection
- Vibration analysis and balancing services setup within vessels or at offshore repairs depots
Test & Measurement Few Examples
- Human body measurement for large scale uniform tailoring especially in the ports and defense sector
