Phoenix Incorporated, one of the most powerful industry conglomerates, decide to build a state-of-the-art cruise ship, The Adamas, as part of their bicentennial celebrations. Under the able leadership of their Chairman and CEO, Courtney Brown, the team builds a next-gen automated ship, with intelligent technology inbuilt so that the ship can think and act on her own, irrespective of any situation. And then comes 2020. The global pandemic leaves an indelible mark and Phoenix Incorporated is no exception. Cruise, as an industry, is the worst hit; the sail of The Adamas looks bleak, but as the New Normal sets in, Courtney bounces back as a true leader, promising to harness the technology inbuil...
This exciting new book highlights and discusses new concepts for enhanced efficiency of ships and how they are operated, primarily resting on reducing the environmental footprints and operational expenses. An overview of technological and regulatory developments and drivers for the challenges described above is provided. Readers learn about sustainable energies and power for propulsion, particularly maritime electrification. The book includes shore-based initiatives on greenhouse gas reduction in shipping. Status and current practices for propulsion arrangements using renewable energy technologies are presented with examples on ships representing several categories of energies and power. Ene...
In model making, inland ships are often overshadowed by ocean-going vessels. Yet this type of ship not only has many exciting types to offer, but also many advantages, especially for beginners in ship modelling, such as the often quite simple hull shape and the possibility of building in detail in larger scales. In this book, Günther Slansky introduces the various types and uses, in addition to a look at original inland shipping with a focus on the Elbe – of course with a detailed excursus on the paddle steamers of the Dresden fleet. The second part then deals in detail with the model replica of a classic cargo ship, including numerous special functions. Ideal for beginners in ship modelling – not only for inland vessels. From the content: • Cargo shipping • Chain shipping • Motorised cargo vessels • Pushed ships and pushed barges • Passenger shipping • The Dresden steamship fleet today • Special ships • Inland waterway vessels and model construction • Construction documents • Electrical engineering and electromechanics
Includes entries for maps and atlases.
Revised by John V. Noel, Jr., Captain, U.S. Navy [Ret.] Associate Editors: Commander Frank E. Bassett, U.S. Navy [Ret.] Dr. Carvel Blair and Prof. Dee Fitch Steer by this venerable guide to shiphandling and safety and you’ll easily see why, since publication of the first edition 83 years ago, it has been the single-most trusted "beacon" for millions of pleasure boaters and professional seamen alike. Now in its eighteenth edition, Knight’s Modern Seamanship continues the salty tradition of its predecessors. It supplies all the navigation techniques, safety laws and procedures, and maintenance practices you need to make each ocean-going trip safe and enjoyable. Typhoon up ahead? Knight’s...
Binnenschiffe stehen im Modellbau häufig im Schatten der Hochseeschifffahrt. Dabei hat diese Schiffsgattung nicht nur viele spannende Typen zu bieten, sondern gerade für Einsteiger in den Schiffsmodellbau viele Vorteile, wie beispielsweise die häufig recht einfache Rumpfform und die Möglichkeit in größeren Maßstäben sehr detailliert bauen zu können. Günther Slansky stellt in diesem Buch, neben einem Blick auf die Original-Binnenschifffahrt mit Schwerpunkt auf der Elbe, die verschiedenen Typen und Verwendungszwecke vor – natürlich mit einem ausführlichen Exkurs zu den Raddampfern der Dresdner Flotte. Im zweiten Teil geht es dann detailliert um den Modellnachbau eines klassischen Frachtschiffs, einschließlich zahlreicher Sonderfunktionen. Ideal für den Einstieg in den Schiffsmodellbau – nicht nur für Binnenschiffe.
