Reeds Vol 4: Naval Architecture for Marine Engineers
The essential textbook for all students preparing for Marine Engineer Officer exams.

Covering the theoretical, fundamental aspects of naval architecture, this textbook is aimed at students preparing for the Class 1 and Class 2 Marine Engineer Officer exams. It introduces the foundation themes within naval architecture (hydrostatics, stability, resistance and powering), using worked examples to show how solutions should be presented for an exam.

The topics are ordered as they might be in a typical taught module, to aid the use of the book by lecturers as a complement to a course. The text and figures continue to be updated in line with modern practice. Many of the figures are three-dimensional diagrams. The book also includes sample examination questions with worked examples to aid students in their learning.

As well as an expanded section on stability that considers inclining experiments, this new edition also factors in changes within the industry as it moves towards Net Zero propulsion. Due to the pace of innovation, students who qualify today will see big changes during their careers, and this edition anticipates this and prepares students for such developments.
