Reeds Vol 5 covers ship construction techniques and methods for all classes of the Merchant Navy marine deck and engineering Certificates of Competency (CoC) as well as students studying for degrees and diplomas in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. It is complementary to Reeds Vol 4 (Naval Architecture) and Reeds Vol 8 (General Engineering Knowledge).
This new edition will be fully updated to reflect the recent changes to the Merchant Navy syllabus and current pathways to a sea-going engineering career. The techniques and methods of ship’s construction are continually changing especially as materials science develops at a rapid pace. Reeds Vol 5 needs to be updated to keep pace with these developments. In particular, there will be updated sections on composite technology which will open up the potential market in the UK as well as appealing to more of the international market. Extensively illustrated, the book will also include sample examination questions with worked example answers to aid students in their learning.

Contents with specific details of the new material Preface and general introduction More emphasis on the international nature of the qualification and the reasons for studying the construction of ships within an engineering series Ship types More information to be included under each of the different types of vessels, especially chemical carriers, cruise ships and superyachts. Add in information under general notes about the link between construction and ship design. Under the different terms add in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and more information about ‘moulded’ dimensions as well as the ‘lines’ plans Stresses in ships structures Expand the different sections already in place and add information about wave forces and the calculation of stresses in the hull structure Steel sections used: welding and materials Introduce and add in – ‘Techniques used in building composite vessel structures’, add information about welding/cutting and add more information about building Aluminum Vessels. Bottom and side framing More information about oil tankers and double hulls. Information about the hull of gas carriers Shell and decks Add in information relating to cruise and passenger ships Bulkheads and deep tanks Add information about ‘Fire’ bulkheads For’d end arrangements More information about the X-Bow arrangements, Flare, protection of No1 cargo hatch and the reasons for the design of the bulbous bow arrangements After end arrangements More information about the aft end arrangement for vessels that have ‘podded’ drives Construction details specific to different types of vessels Add new sections for passenger and Ro-Ro and for superyachts Loadline regulations Add in information about the ‘probabilistic’ methods of calculating the stability of ships and how this relates to ship’s construction. Link ‘Passenger ship’ section back to Chapter 6 and the new section about ‘fire bulkheads’. Add in more information about classification of ships and include links to insurance and marine surveying. Loadline surveys Ship dynamics Expand to include more real-life examples relevant to international students Corrosion, coatings and dry docking Expand all of these areas to explain much more about the different sections
