Description

Ship and Mobile Offshore Unit Automation: A Practical Guide: A Practical Guide gives engineers a much-needed reference on relevant standards and codes, along with practical case studies on how to use these standards on actual projects and plans. Packed with the critical procedures necessary for each phase of the project, the book also gives an outlook on trends of development for control and monitoring systems, including usage of artificial intelligence in software development and prospects for the use of autonomous vessels.Rounding out with a glossary and introductory chapter specific to the new marine engineer just starting, this book delivers a source of valuable information to help offshore engineers be better prepared to safely and efficiently design today’s offshore unit control systems.

Key features

  • Helps readers understand the worldwide offshore unit regulations necessary for monitoring systems and automation installation, including ISO, IEC, IEEE, IMO, SOLAS AND MODU, ABS, DNVGL, API, NMA and NORSOK
  • Presents real-world examples that apply standards
  • Provides tactics on how to procure control and monitoring systems specific to the offshore industry

Readership

Offshore engineers; marine engineers; electrical engineers; graduate-level marine engineering students; engineering superintendents

Henryk Pepliński

Henryk Pepliński has more than 40 years of experience in marine and offshore electrical and control systems engineering, covering conceptual design, basic and detailed design, and systems commissioning. His experience began in European shipyards designing and constructing various types of vessels, followed by working in classification societies for plan approval and surveys of electrical and control systems. For nearly ten years, he worked as a superintendent engineer at Prosafe Offshore Ltd. (UK), gaining experience in the offshore industry on the design and modification of diesel electric semi-submersible units. Then, he worked for Seatec UK Ltd. as a superintendent engineer and planning manager for seismic vessel conversion, and finally for C&M Marine Services Ltd. as a project superintendent engineer. Henryk has also served on working groups of the International Electro-technical Commission, developing new IEC standards. He is currently an independent consultant for electrical and control engineering systems for ships, offshore units, and hybrid electrical vessels. He earned a BSc in Electrical and Control Engineering, Automation, and Measurements from Gdańsk University of Technology and a Technician Certificate in Electrical Power Engineering. Additionally, he is qualified as a lead auditor for ISO 9001 quality systems from the British Standard Institution, for IMO ISPS code from Northeast Maritime Institution, and for IMO ISM code from the Polish Register of Shipping.
