This authoritative textbook covers ship construction techniques and
methods for all classes of the Merchant Navy marine deck and engineering
Certificates of Competency (CoC) as well as students studying for
degrees and diplomas in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. It is
complementary to Reeds Vol 4 (Naval Architecture) and Reeds Vol 8
(General Engineering Knowledge).
This fully revised edition prioritises the need of these students,
recognising recent syllabus changes and current pathways to a sea-going
engineering career, with the increased emphasis on academic content to
be delivered by colleges and universities. The text has been updated and
expanded to reflect recent developments in techniques and materials
used, and related changes in ship design, including sample examination
questions and worked example answers throughout.
