CODE OF SAFE PRACTICE FOR CARGO STOWAGE AND SECURING (CSS CODE)
Background
The
accelerations acting on a ship in a seaway result from a combination of
longitudinal, vertical and predominantly transverse motions. The forces generated by these accelerations
leading to the majority of securing problems. The danger arising from...

INTRODUCTION
The prime mover of merchant ships
has been for more than the century primarily the marine Diesel engine, which is
nowadays predominantly a low-speed, two-stroke, crosshead-type, reversible,
uniflow-scavenged, turbocharged, electronically controlled engine. The low
speed marine engine is,...

CYLINDER
DISTANCE
In a slow-speed 2-stroke engines the
cylinder distance & consequently engine length are invariably decided by
the powertrain layout, which takes place in parallel with thermodynamic layout.
Cylinder distance determination is central to engine development since it...
