Modern Marine Electronic Engines: Their Technical Impact on Marine Engineers
By T. ELANGO - GM TechnicalDOCX file
An analysis of how modern electronically controlled marine engines (such as MAN B&W ME-series and Wärtsilä engines) are transforming the profession, skills, responsibilities, and troubleshooting practices of marine engineers from traditional mechanical overhauling to a combination of electronic, hydraulic, and software-based diagnostics.
An academic research paper analyzing maritime cyber-physical risks (IT/OT convergence), IMO Resolution MSC.428(98) compliance via Safety Management Systems (SMS), and MLC 2006 seafarer data privacy and communication security.
A comprehensive technical review examining the feasibility of ethanol as an alternative marine fuel. It covers production types, onboard usage methods, environmental impacts, energy density comparisons with diesel and methanol, safety hazards, global commercial bunkering milestones in 2026, and economic viability for shipowners.
A comprehensive technical overview of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) for ships. Covers marine decarbonization drivers, post-combustion capture processes, shipboard equipment requirements, distinctions from scrubbers and SCR, and practical capture calculations
