About the Book An alarm on board a ship is something that can never be ignored or bypassed. Given the fact that a ship is more like a sophisticated floating metropolis, with numerous systems and sub systems / auxiliaries, the list of alarms and safety features is exhaustive. This book attempts to highlight most alarms on a standard vessel at sea, although some will be unique to special classes of ships or machinery. About the Authors Elstan A.

About the Book In a demanding industry like shipping, time and tide wait for no man, as the saying goes. Most accidents and failures often occur due to the human element at some stage – right from design to manufacturing, operation and maintenance, basically from cradle to grave. There are thousands of case studies on failure and catastrophes that led to major policies and rules being implemented, and it is virtually impossible to encompass every type of equipment or case study for that matter. However, this little book, which has been compiled from various incident reports across the world and will attempt to open the doors to positive thinking and progressive learning. This is intended to also make life at sea much safer than in the past. It contains a few case studies and is aimed at serving as a primer to future, extensive studies that will follow. Electro Technical Officers and Marine Engineers onboard commercial ships and those undergoing training to qualify for these positions, will find it useful too. About the Authors Elstan A.
