Diesel Engines
for ship propulsion and power plants
Contents
This first edition of the two-part book (954 pages) on diesel engines is intended for all who work with diesel engines for maritime propulsion and power generation.
When compiling this book, a practical approach was chosen using
ample authentic graphic material with detailed explanations allowing the reader to gather pertinent information without laboriously going through the main text. Leading companies and institutes have contributed to the realisation of this book by providing information, photographs and interviews. Ninety per cent of the more than 1800 pictures are in colour.
The Maritime Institute Willem Barentsz, Terschelling, The Netherlands, has collaborated exhaustively on the production of the Dutch edition and introduced it as a pilot for Maritime Officer training.
Price of the book € 145,- ex. packing and shipping costs.
At this moment 25 Maritime Institutes use our diesel engine book for their students!
