Introduction to Ship Engine Room Systems outlines the key systems, machinery and equipment found in a ship’s engine room. It explores the basics of their function with overall practical guidance for engine room operation and maintenance, recognising emerging environmental challenges.

It covers the following topics:

• The role and function of the steering and propulsion systems
• Power generation
• The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems
• The water management system
• Engine room fires and emergency response systems
• Engine room watch procedures and checklists

The book serves as an accessible introductory text for engineering students at HNC, HND, and foundation degree level, marine engineering cadets, and non-engineering marine professionals such as deck officers and cadets who want a general guide to how the engine room functions.
