Ted Blenkers - Marine Engineers

• Marine engineers are responsible for designing,
  developing, controlling and maintaining the
  equipment and systems used in ships, oil
  facilities and marine oil plants. They specialize
  in marine engineering, naval engineering or
  industries located on the mainland.
• Marine engineers play a very important role in
  shipbuilding and ship repair. They are
  responsible for designing, building, controlling
  and maintaining ships, and all systems and
  machinery used on ships and other maritime
  transport systems.
• Marine engineers also use their knowledge to
  explore natural resources and generate energy
  such as oil and minerals that are located in the
  sea floor. They work on the development of new
  technologies that were not previously available
  to explore areas of the sea.

• Increasingly, marine engineers have to find ways
  to use sea resources while preventing or
  minimizing environmental damage.
• There are three main areas of maritime
  engineering offshore engineering, naval
  engineering and the mainland engineering
  industries.

• There are three main areas of maritime

  industries.
• Offshore engineering involves the exploration of
  oil and mineral production. Engineers working on
  the high seas are involved in all aspects of this
  work.

• They work closely with other specialists, such as
  geologists, to decide the best place to establish
  an offshore oil station, so that the exploitation
  is as profitable as possible and allows the
  maximum amount of natural resources to be
  extracted.
• These engineers use high-tech systems to work in
  deep water, such as vehicles operated by remote
  control, to carry out exploration operations on
  the seabed.
• Design, build and operate the fixed and mobile
  oil platforms and all their control systems. They
  can work in an office, using computer-aided
  design (CAD) technologies to design oil platforms
  as safe and efficient as possible.
• They must decide what type of material is most
  appropriate for the construction of the
  installation, and overcome the problems that
  wind, waves, currents and the nature of the
  seabed may present.

• Engineers specializing in high seas work must
  protect the environment, for example, by
  developing renewable energy sources, such as wind
  or tidal power. They are responsible for finding
  environmental and cost-effective solutions to
  problems such as the disposal of disused oil
  platforms.
• Engineers working in the second specialty, naval
  engineering, are responsible for designing and
  manufacturing propulsion ship machinery and
  related equipment and systems. Naval engineers
  work on a wide variety of vessels, including
  container ships, passenger ships, pipeline ships,
  warships and submarines.
• Naval engineers usually spend about four months
  at sea, followed by a two-month license. Its main
  task is to operate and maintain the machinery of
  propulsion ships. They also handle the electrical
  systems and electronic equipment of the vessel.

• Naval engineers must maintain and repair ship
  services, such as air conditioning and passenger
  elevators. On refrigerated cargo ships, engineers
  may be responsible for the systems used to store
  products such as fruit and meat.
• Naval engineers working for the navy work on
  aircraft carriers, frigates (warships), ships and
  ships of assault of mines and submarines anywhere
  in the world.
• In industries located on the mainland, maritime
  engineers design and supervise the construction
  of new ships. They also participate closely in
  the new technologies used in modern ships.
• Marine engineers working for transport companies
  may be responsible for the control and
  maintenance of a fleet of ships. They design and
  build machines and installations for new or
  existing ships.
