However, can also be used for better familiarization with the nomenclature of the fuel oils and lubricants that are in use in marine industry. Apart from the software, the pack of files presented to your attention, includes numerous files providing information on the properties of various fuel oils, such as blended and distillate MDF.

The other files provide advice on storage and handling of the lubricants, siting the store, stacking barrels, bulk storage etc. Specifications for various marine fuel oils produced by Shell are also there, together with the table comparing those fuels to British and ISO 8217 standards. In addition, the pack includes a very good fuel specification guide to all Shell marine products, and safety data sheets for all lubricating oil and fuel oil products.

The pack of files covering the generator control equipment and alarm annunciators produced by SELCO. It consists of eight major parts. The first part of the pack is introductory, while the others provide users with the general information on the products offered by the company, various technical manuals and software, examples on the application, informative slide shows, representations and contacts.

The data sheets provided in the corresponding section of the pack shall be used to get to the product line of SELCO. The users just have to chose the subject they want to view and then the associated data sheets will be available there sorted by the product number. All data sheets are stored in pdf format making it very easy to open and use on any device. Same approach has been applied to the manuals - all you need is a pdf reader.

Among the equipment dealt with thee are event loggers, indicator panels, engine controllers, process-loggers, hyper-terminals, programming kits, potentiometers, etc. The software items offered for installation are the Programmer for M3000, Process Logger, and M-Programmer.

Another screensaver for the engineer. The duration of the animation included in this pack is shorter than three minutes; however, we do guarantee that it will be of great interest to any engineering enthusiast.

The installation file has been thoroughly checked and does not contain any sort of harming malware including viruses and it does not require any paid activation of registration.

It is fully compatible with any release of MS Windows starting from XP. The animation demonstrates the real 3D life of the components of modern internal combustion engine - this is a step-by-step assembly process of the engine and turning a set of components into a working engine. Just imagine, this application was developed from more than seven hundred separate CAD files that have been converted into metallic surfaced items; after that, all of the components got assembled together section-by-section in order to form the completed screensaver.

Just follow the installation instructions, they are very simple. The size of the file for installation is less than 30 Mb which is next to nothing, bearing in mind the quality and detalization level of the animation.

The official publication released in conjunction with the IMO Maritime Day. It is very short but still able to provide all interested persons and participants of the shipping industry with some useful information. The booklet starts with a short article dedicated to the implementation changes and the importance of the effective implementation.

It is obvious that in order to provide the effectiveness of the operations, the international maritime industry of today is seriously dependent on the regulatory frameworks that are established by the IMO as well as on the effective implementation of the international conventions released by this organization. The failure to follow these would eventually result in the chaos in the maritime industry and complete distortion of the shipping market. Another negative result would be reduction in the levels of marine safety and protection of the environment.

One of the most important and truly impressive features of the regulations proposed and implemented by the IMO would be that once they have entered into force, all of them are applied to the vessels globally via a very effective combination the inspections conducted by port state control and flag state inspectors. These instruments are deservedly considered very practical and play one of the key roles in the marine safety and environment protection...

We are introducing the 3.1 version of the world famous and extremely popular Fairplay Ports and Terminals Guide was developed and released with the aim to help people improve the operational efficiency of their ships through the improvement of preparation to the ports of call.

The users who decided to choose this software will find the data on over twelve thousand shipping terminals and ports, eight thousand tanker berths and nearly thirty thousand port service providers - quite impressive indeed - and it will definitely let them navigate any of the ports much easier and with much more confidence.
