Course_Introduction
|
Marine
engineering is a branch of Engineering that deals with nautical architecture
and science. It is meant for research conducted in oceans and coastal or
inland waters connected to the sea. Marine
Engineering is the design, manufacture and operation of ship engines and
machinery. This includes the supervision of engine crew involved in operating
the machines and checking for smooth functioning of all steam engines,
electric motors, propulsive engines etc. Marine Engineers have the complete
responsibility of the ship's technical management. They are responsible for
selecting the ships' machinery, which may include diesel engines, steam
turbines, gas turbines; and for the design of mechanical, electrical, fluid
and control systems throughout the vessel. They also develop newer designs
for the engines of sailing vessels and check the efficiency of existing
equipments. New technologies like superconductivity, fuel cells and
hydrodynamics are being explored in this field to make the vessels more
efficient, thus supplying this field with even more interesting job
propositions.

A
Marine Engineer has different role to play. He starts as Junior (Fifth)
Engineer, and will proceed as Fourth Engineer, Third Engineer,Second
Engineer and lastly Chief Engineer consistantly working 6-7 years Many marine engineering positions require an
engineering license. Licensed engineers are called professional engineers or
PEs and without liscence they are called as engineering cadets.
The
marine engineer have to perform following types of work:--
1.
Shipbuilding, boat-building and repair – working on the design, development,
construction and maintenance of ships, boats and machinery.
2.
Offshore oil and gas – designing, building and operating offshore platforms,
rigs, pipelines and equipment
marine
surveying – examining ships and offshore installations, looking at their
seaworthiness, safety and maintenance needs.
3.
Merchant or Royal Navy – making sure engines, instruments and systems work
safely and efficiently (in the Royal Navy you can specialise in surface
shipping, submarines or weapons systems).

Marine
Engineers are specifically qualified to join the Merchant Navy, or Gov.,
public and private shipping companies, Engine production firms, Ship building
firms, Research bodies, ship manufacturing companies and also in the Indian
Navy. They are in great demand in the Ship
building firms, oil and gas industry, steel industries, Engine production firms where they have to
design and build pipelines and other equipments.
For
those who want to join Government Service can join Directorate General Shipping of India.
Marine Engineers can take up employment in different foreign and Indian
shipping companies and with the port and harbor departments. The latest
developments in moving natural gas from ports to the pipeline, offer
excellent opportunity for future graduates looking to work portside.
