my career to be a Marine Engineer and also any Marine Employee. I will help you understand why, by going through the topics of education, the history, duties, job requirements, advancement through the career, and any benefits that come with it. The 1st thing that I am going to talk about is the education requirements. For you to become a Marine Engineer or Naval Architect you must have at least a Bachelor’s Degree and there is also no on the job training. Entry level jobs in Marine Engineering and/or
Born in Goa, with its many famous beaches, I grew up along the seaside. As a child I have spent my evenings watching huge marine vessels entering and leaving the port and developed curiosity about the working of huge ships. Because 70 % of the planet is covered with water, sea transport has been the largest carrier of freight throughout recorded human history. A lot remains to be explored about the water bodies in the world; moreover, the rising crunch on land resources will force further exploration
transfer of fuel onto the ship, in containers, constructively intended for consumption and to ensure the movement of the vessel. In term of seaport management, bunkering is the action of supplying a ship with bunkers. Offshore Bunkering is the terminology used in the shipping industry to describe the selling of fuel, from specialized vessels (ships) designed for that particular task, transferring fuel from one ship to another such as ship to ship transfer of fuel (heavy, medium and light fuel, gas oil
Fuel oil Systems; Marine Engines are mainly designed to run on Low cost fuel such as Diesel Oil or Heavy Fuel Oil which contains high dense particles, waste residue and other contaminants. These materials should not be pumped into the engine directly as they will damage the engine and decrease the efficiency. So first these materials are to be removed from the fuel oil and then the purified oil is supplied to the engine for better performance. So, this plays a very important role in the efficient

Complex multi-layered political and legal landscapes The existence of multi-layered legal and political landscape is a huge challenge for the entire marine industry. Each country has a set of rules regulating the maritime industry including various taxes, importation bond, flag requirement, cabotage law, local content requirements, etc., In the USA, Jones Act is a massive barrier to entry for Offshore
Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development Deals with the sustainable management and protection of marine and costal ecosystems, addressing the impacts of ocean acidification and the conservation of costal and marine areas 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainable manage forests, combat desertification, halt and
advancements of these technologies comes better connectivity with ship to shore, sensor technologies and monitoring systems. This will provide the future vessels and ship owners with real time conditions monitoring. It also provides ship owners with asset management thus allowing them to make smarter maintenance decision which will reduce the number and frequency of inspections and repairs. This will give them the advantage in knowing when they will need to change parts of ship be it damaged or worn. Also in
climate patterns. The effects of climate change have become particularly apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards and have been substantially contributed to by the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels. Parts of the Great Barrier Reef are over 18 million years old. During this time sea levels have changed, with the Great Barrier Reef being left high and dry during the last ice age, turning into grassy plains. Sea levels rose as ice caps melted around
product or service and distributing it to business users and consumers. This process of organizing the flow of goods, services, and information among members of the supply chain is called logistics. Physical distribution is a major focus in logistics management. Physical distribution has many elements that help link buyers and sellers. These elements include the following: customer service, transportation, warehousing, materials handling, inventory control, and order processing. Many companies require

structure, ICS is successful by utilizing common terminology, management by objectives, an incident action plan, and comprehensive resource management. Overall the ICS framework enables seamless management and response to address any incident type. Now let’s examine the Duke Energy Diesel Spill of
The Causes of Marine Life Extinction Did you know that more than 90 percent of all organisms that have ever lived on Earth are extinct? According to Pandey, the author of Humans Pushing Marine Life toward ‘Major Extinction’, nearly 10,000 species go extinct each year, and this rate is estimated to be 1,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate (1). Human beings are causing irreversible damage to the oceans and their wildlife, which is being led by two major reasons: Commercial fishing or
to 1972 (Federation of American Scientist, 2000). The M1 Abram was the lightest of the three tanks weighing 60 tons and this allowed it to be the fasted being able to reach a max speed of 45 mph. The vehicle could travel 310 miles on a full tank of fuel. It took four soldiers to operate the tank with the main armament being a 105 mm M68A1 Rifled Cannon. The Abram was protected by a 350 mm hull, which made it almost impossible to pierce. The Commander was equipped with a .50 caliber M2 machine gun

oil tanker was to be about 250 kilometers from Spanish Coast. • It is estimated that 37,000 tons of fuel oil remain in the tanker. • The vessel will continue to leak fuel for years, unless the oil was removed from the vessel. • The Greek captain Apostolos Mangouras was taken into custody, accused of not co-operating with salvage crews and of harming the environment. • There is 64,000 tons of fuel oil were spilled in the incident. • The affected area is not only a very important ecological region
Imagine a lush underwater place. Beautiful structures colorful animals and places that would never have been thought of before. In reality that's not what it really looks like, really the ocean is a desolate place that is barren like a desert. Many marine species have been lost by as much as 49%.(seeker) A big part of that reason is because of coral bleaching which causes as stated above a decline in species that depend on the coral as there home. Coral bleaching is a serious problem that could cause
The authors used incidents and case studies to identify these two levels. First, collective actions of tourism industry increased marine litter (including oil spillages and garbage), reduced biodiversity or extinction, and disturbed wildlife. The authors showed that even behaviors such as intertidal trampling and beach-cleaning also have damaging effects on coastal ecology. Second
Many nations count on coal, oil and natural gas to supply most of their energy needs. Fossil fuels are a finite resource. Fossil fuels also causes air, water and soil pollution and produce greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. Renewable energy from sources that are replenished as fast as they are used. Examples include energy from the sun, wind, moving water and plants. Wind and solar energy are clean sources of energy that have the potential to make a significant contribution to New
