Marine Engineering: Technology, Operation, and Innovation provides a complete and systematic introduction to the science, technology, and practical applications of marine engineering. The book is designed to help readers understand how modern ships are designed, powered, operated, maintained, and managed while emphasizing safety, efficiency, environmental responsibility, and technological advancement. Organized into ten comprehensive chapters, the book begins with the fundamentals of marine engineering, including its history, principles, scope, and career opportunities. It then explores ship design and construction, naval architecture, hull structures, buoyancy, and stability before moving into marine power plants, propulsion systems, diesel engines, boilers, and gas turbines. Readers will gain a thorough understanding of shipboard auxiliary machinery, electrical power systems, automation, instrumentation, navigation technologies, and engine room operations. The book also explains planned maintenance systems, machinery troubleshooting, dry docking procedures, and technical documentation used in modern vessels. Special attention is given to maritime safety, international regulations, emergency preparedness, pollution prevention, occupational health, and environmental protection. The later chapters introduce offshore engineering, renewable marine energy, smart ships, artificial intelligence, robotics, digital twin technology, green shipping, and other innovations that are transforming the global maritime industry. The final chapter examines maritime management, port operations, logistics, shipping economics, and the future challenges and opportunities facing marine engineers in an increasingly digital and sustainable world.
