Safer ships, Cleaner Oceans - Equipment For Hazardous Areas on ships Vol.8

This pocket book is based on an extract from the 12th Edition of the book titled Marine Electrical Technology. It deals with understanding various electrical and electronic equipment dedicated for hazardous areas onboard 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.
