Marine engineering is a field of study that deals with the innovation, design, construction and maintenance of navigation equipment and seagoing vessels. It is mainly concerned with the development and manufacture of internal systems for submarines, boats and ships. Marine engineering is intrinsically related to other fields such as oceanographic engineering, naval architecture, nautical sciences, and automotive and mechanical engineering. Recent advances and trends in marine engineering involve the utilization of wind and solar power as well as the usage of robots in ship manufacturing and port management. Recent developments in offshore marine engineering are focused on addressing issues such as fuel scarcity and environmental degradation. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the emerging developments, challenges and applications of marine engineering. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
