Safer ships, Cleaner Oceans - Common Hazards On Tankers And Gas Carrier Ships Volume 4

This pocket book is based on an extract from the 12th Edition of the book titled Marine Electrical Technology. It deals with understanding common hazards on tankers and gas carrier ships.

The Pocket Book Series was introduced based on the fact that there is a changing trend in the way books are read today. The new normal is that readers and students prefer to read specific, and not so voluminous content, in the least time, as time comes at a premium these days.
