MS 4402 - Marine Pollution and Vessel Engineering Systems

Institution:

Massachusetts Maritime Academy

Subject:

Description:

This course provides a broad overview of Marine Engineering Systems, both in use onboard ship and for shore-side support, and their impact on marine pollution. The course will examine primary marine systems such as those for Propulsion and Power, and discuss their relationship to the operation of the ship, and their impact on the marine environment. Current engineering practices, with respect to sources of marine pollution will also be examined with particular attention of current regulations of the US Coast Guard, and other international regulatory organizations. The course will also examine shore-side marine engineering systems for ship construction and operational support, and their impact as a source of marine pollution. The course will further identify and examine the more important engineering systems in this category such as auxiliary systems for fuel and fuel handling, ballasting, pumping, cargo handling, discharges and emissions.
