Back The text is richly illustrated with detailed drawings, photographs and cross-sections of many different types of seagoing vessels, all in full colour, making the book extremely attractive and very infomative for anyone interested in shipping.
After reading this book you will no longer think of a ship as an inanimate object, but as a completely self-supporting entity embodying all the modern technologies found in a small town.
An indispensable book for anyone interested in modern shipping! Considering the ever growing number of foreign crew on board European vessels and in the offshore industry, Ship Knowledge meets the growing demand for English language publications and text books in this field.
Ship Knowledge is a valuable resource, not only for nautical colleges and universities, but also for everyone employed afloat.
Chapter 7
Chapter 7 deals with construction and special construction methods for the various parts of the vessel. The construction of a number of different types of ships is dealt with.
A multitude of parts, plate sections, spaces and stiffeners are shown with the aid of 3D- drawings, blueprints and photographs, all with their names and numbers.
The drawings provide a revealing spatial view of the pertinent part of the vessel, so that an idea can be formed of its position and size.
“Reading” a construction drawing is simplified in this way.
Of the latter a brief description is given of the various spaces it contains.
