Product Description:
The Maritime Engineering Reference Book is a one-stop source for engineers involved in marine engineering and naval architecture. In this essential reference, Anthony F. Molland has brought together the work of a number of the world's leading writers in the field to create an inclusive volume for a wide audience of marine engineers, naval architects and those involved in marine operations, insurance and other related fields.
Coverage ranges from the basics to more advanced topics in ship design, construction and operation. All the key areas are covered, including ship flotation and stability, ship structures, propulsion, seakeeping and maneuvering. The marine environment and maritime safety are explored as well as new technologies, such as computer aided ship design and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).
Facts, figures and data from world-leading experts makes this an invaluable ready-reference for those involved in the field of maritime engineering.
Professor A.F. Molland, BSc, MSc, PhD, CEng, FRINA. is Emeritus Professor of Ship Design at the University of Southampton, UK. He has lectured ship design and operation for many years. He has carried out extensive research and published widely on ship design and various aspects of ship hydrodynamics.

It is an encyclopedic book that talks about everything and says very little about each topic.
There are typos too.
You will not learn much, unless you consult the references.
It is not as useful as PNA, but they cover primarely the same subjects.
The price is high, so think twice before buying it.

I think this book is very interesting. A perfect reference book for naval architects and marine engineers. Therefore, I have bought this book in order to give it to my teacher from University of Sao Paulo in Brazil - Dept of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. I hope he will enjoy this gift very much!
