The efficiency of the shipboard piping and piping systems is one of the essential factors impacting both safety of the operations and their correctness. The piping is met in absolutely all hull systems and associated fittings including ballast and bilge systems, fuel oil and lubricating oil systems, IGS, crude oil burning and compressed air systems, and others. The requirements applicable to and regulations governing the piping and pumping arrangements are there to ensure their proper installation and safe operation.
The present book was written to outline the fundamental requirements, with the particular attention paid to the IMCO requirements. Some of the chapters have been devoted to such specific systems as IGS, chemical and LNG carriers, cryogenic pumps and others. The underwater arrangements and systems have also been covered, for example you will find information about the transfer locks and diving chambers, lifeboat chambers and deck compression chambers etc.
The book is a really excellent training tool for the marine engineers and students as well as any person dealing with the design of the above mentioned systems intended for marine and offshore application. It will also serve as indispensable reference source for people willing to get to the better technical knowledge of the equipment and systems.
