Engineering

Environmental management in marine engineering within the merchant navy refers to the set of practices and strategies aimed at minimising the environmental impact of maritime operations. This field recognises the significance of preserving marine ecosystems and reducing pollution in order to ensure the sustainability of marine resources and mitigate the adverse effects of shipping activities on the environment.

In the maritime industry, pumps are vital for diverse ship functions, ensuring fluid circulation and system efficiency. Centrifugal pumps, widely used for their reliability, play key roles in cooling, ballast transfer and bilge pumping. The merchant navy relies on these pumps for propulsion, power generation and auxiliary machinery, ensuring overall vessel safety and functionality. Understanding centrifugal pump types, applications and maintenance principles is essential for maintaining optimal performance and safeguarding the complex systems of maritime operations.

In this course, you will conceive the complexity of electrical power calculations and know how to work with them.

Marine lighting is indispensable in the maritime industry, serving as the beacon of safety, efficiency and functionality onboard vessels.
