Oceans of Power – 125 Years of Marine Engineering Milestones written by John Barnes, the former editor and publisher of Marine Engineers Review (MER), tells the story of marine engineering over the last two centuries from the coming of steam to the nuclear age and beyond.

Are microbes the invisible enemy? Some are benefical while others can be harmful to human health and damage goods. Unfortunately for the marine and offshore industries most of the microbes encountered fall into the harmful category and the problems they can cause are exacerbated by the marine envrionment.

Marine fuels are a major expense of most shipping operations and a thorough knowledge of fuel oil handling is fundamental to efficient ship operations.
