Marine engineering

Marine engineering is the engineering of boats, ships, submarines, and any other marine vessel.
Here it is also taken to include the engineering of other ocean systems and structures – referred
to in certain academic and professional circles as "ocean engineering".

Marine engineers reviewing ship

plans

Marine engineering applies a number of engineering sciences, including mechanical engineering,

electrical engineering, electronic engineering, and computer science, to the development, design,
operation and maintenance of watercraft propulsion and ocean systems.[1] It includes but is not
limited to power and propulsion plants, machinery, piping, automation and control systems for
marine vehicles of any kind, as well as coastal and offshore structures.
History
Archimedes is traditionally regarded as the first marine engineer, having developed a number of
marine engineering systems in antiquity. Modern marine engineering dates back to the
beginning of the Industrial Revolution (early 1700s).

In 1807, Robert Fulton successfully used a steam engine to propel a vessel through the water.
Fulton's ship used the engine to power a small wooden paddle wheel as its marine propulsion
system. The integration of a steam engine into a watercraft to create a marine steam engine
was the start of the marine engineering profession. Only twelve years after Fulton's Clermont had
her first voyage, the Savannah marked the first sea voyage from America to Europe. Around 50
years later the steam powered paddle wheels had a peak with the creation of the Great Eastern,
which was as big as one of the cargo ships of today, 700 feet in length, weighing 22,000 tons.
Paddle steamers would become the front runners of the steamship industry for the next thirty
years till the next type of propulsion came around.[2]

Relevance and Scope

There are many ways to become a Marine Engineer, but all include a university or college degree.
Primarily, training includes a Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng. or B.E.),

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc. or B.S.),

Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.),

Bachelor of Technology Management and Marine Engineering (B.TecMan & MarEng)

Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.Sc.) in Marine Engineering.

Depending on the country and jurisdiction, to be licensed as a Marine engineer, a Master's

degree;
Master of Engineering (M.Eng.),

Master of Science (M.Sc or M.S.)

Master of Applied Science (M.A.Sc.)

may be required. There are also Marine engineers who have come from other disciplines, e.g.,
from engineering fields like Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering,
Geomatics Engineering, Environmental Engineering or from science fields like Geology,
Geophysics, Physics, Geomatics, Earth Science, Mathematics, However, this path requires taking
a graduate degree such as M.Eng, M.S., M.Sc. or M.A.Sc. in Marine Engineering after graduating
from a different quantitative undergraduate program to be qualified as a Marine engineer.

Related Fields

Naval architecture
In the engineering of seagoing vessels, naval architecture is concerned with the overall design of
the ship and its propulsion through the water, while marine engineering ensures that the ship
systems function as per the design.[3] Although they have distinctive disciplines, naval architects
and marine engineers often work side-by-side.
Ocean engineering (and combination
with Marine engineering)
Ocean engineering is concerned with other structures and systems in or adjacent to the ocean,
including offshore platforms, coastal structures such as piers and harbors, and other ocean
systems such as ocean wave energy conversion and underwater life-support systems.[4] This in
fact makes ocean engineering a distinctive field from marine engineering, which is concerned
with the design and application of shipboard systems specifically.[5] However, on account of its
similar nomenclature and multiple overlapping core disciplines (e.g. hydrodynamics,
hydromechanics, and materials science), "ocean engineering" sometimes operates under the
umbrella term of "marine engineering", especially in industry and academia outside of the U.S.
The same combination has been applied to the rest of this article.

Oceanography
Oceanography is a scientific field concerned with the acquisition and analysis of data to
characterize the ocean. Although separate disciplines, marine engineering and oceanography
are closely intertwined: marine engineers often use data gathered by oceanographers to inform
their design and research, and oceanographers use tools designed by marine engineers (more
specifically, oceanographic engineers) to advance their understanding and exploration of the
ocean.[6]
Mechanical engineering
Marine engineering incorporates many aspects of mechanical engineering. One manifestation of
this relationship lies in the design of shipboard propulsion systems. Mechanical engineers
design the main propulsion plant, the powering and mechanization aspects of the ship functions
such as steering, anchoring, cargo handling, heating, ventilation, air conditioning interior and
exterior communication, and other related requirements. Electrical power generation and
electrical power distribution systems are typically designed by their suppliers; the only design
responsibility of the marine engineering is installation.

Furthermore, an understanding of mechanical engineering topics such as fluid dynamics, fluid

mechanics, linear wave theory, strength of materials, structural mechanics, and structural
dynamics is essential to a marine engineer's repertoire of skills. These and other mechanical
engineering subjects serve as an integral component of the marine engineering curriculum.[7]

Civil Engineering
Civil engineering concepts play in an important role in many marine engineering projects such as
the design and construction of ocean structures, ocean bridges and tunnels, and port/harbor
design.

Coastal engineering

Electronics and Robotics

Marine engineering often deals in the fields of electrical engineering and robotics, especially in
applications related to employing deep-sea cables and UUVs.
Deep-sea cables
A series of transoceanic fiber optic cables are responsible for connecting much of the world's
communication via the internet, carrying as much as 99 percent of total global internet and
signal traffic. These cables must be engineered to withstand deep-sea environments that are
remote and often unforgiving, with extreme pressures and temperatures as well as potential
interference by fishing, trawling, and sea life.

UUV autonomy and networks

The use of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) stands to benefit from the use of
autonomous algorithms and networking. Marine engineers aim to learn how advancements in
autonomy and networking can be used to enhance existing UUV technologies and facilitate the
development of more capable underwater vehicles.

Petroleum Engineering
A knowledge of marine engineering proves useful in the field of petroleum engineering, as
hydrodynamics and seabed integration serve as key elements in the design and maintenance of
offshore oil platforms.

Marine construction
Marine construction is the process of building structures in or adjacent to large bodies of water,
usually the sea. These structures can be built for a variety of purposes, including transportation,
energy production, and recreation. Marine construction can involve the use of a variety of
building materials, predominantly steel and concrete. Some examples of marine structures
include ships, offshore platforms, moorings, pipelines, cables, wharves, bridges, tunnels,
breakwaters and docks.

Challenges specific to marine

engineering

Hydrodynamic loading
In the same way that civil engineers design to accommodate wind loads on building and bridges,
marine engineers design to accommodate a ship or submarine struck by waves millions of
times over the course of the vessel's life. These load conditions are also found in marine
construction and coastal engineering

Stability
Any seagoing vessel has the constant need for hydrostatic stability. A naval architect, like an
airplane designer, is concerned with stability. What makes the naval architect's job unique is that
a ship operates in two fluids simultaneously: water and air. Even after a ship has been designed
and put to sea, marine engineers face the challenge of balancing cargo, as stacking containers
vertically increases the mass of the ship and shifts the center of gravity higher. The weight of
fuel also presents a problem, as the pitch of the ship may cause the liquid to shift, resulting in an
imbalance. In some vessels, this offset will be counteracted by storing water inside larger ballast
tanks. Marine engineers are responsible for the task of balancing and tracking the fuel and
ballast water of a ship. Floating offshore structures have similar constraints.
Corrosion
The saltwater environment faced by seagoing vessels makes them highly susceptible to
corrosion. In every project, marine engineers are concerned with surface protection and
preventing galvanic corrosion. Corrosion can be inhibited through cathodic protection by
introducing pieces of metal (e.g. zinc) to serve as a "sacrificial anode" in the corrosion reaction.
This causes the metal to corrode instead of the ship's hull. Another way to prevent corrosion is
by sending a controlled amount of low DC current through the ship's hull, thereby changing the
hull's electrical charge and delaying the onset of electro-chemical corrosion. Similar problems
are encountered in coastal and offshore structures.

Anti-fouling
Anti-fouling is the process of eliminating obstructive organisms from essential components of
seawater systems. Depending on the nature and location of marine growth, this process is
performed in a number of different ways:

Marine organisms may grow and attach

to the surfaces of the outboard suction
inlets used to obtain water for cooling
systems. Electro-chlorination involves
running high electrical current through
sea water, altering the water's chemical
composition to create sodium
hypochlorite, purging any bio-matter.
An electrolytic method of anti-fouling
involves running electrical current
through two anodes (Scardino, 2009).[8]
These anodes typically consist of
copper and aluminum (or alternatively,
iron). The first metal, copper anode,
releases its ion into the water, creating
an environment that is too toxic for bio-
matter. The second metal, aluminum,
coats the inside of the pipes to prevent
corrosion.
Other forms of marine growth such as
mussels and algae may attach
 themselves to the bottom of a ship's
hull. This growth interferes with the
smoothness and uniformity of the ship's
hull, causing the ship to have a less
hydrodynamic shape that causes it to be
slower and less fuel-efficient.[9] Marine
growth on the hull can be remedied by
using special paint that prevents the
growth of such organisms.

Pollution control

Sulfur emission
The burning of marine fuels releases harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. Ships burn marine
diesel in addition to heavy fuel oil. Heavy fuel oil, being the heaviest of refined oils, releases
sulfur dioxide when burned. Sulfur dioxide emissions have the potential to raise atmospheric
and ocean acidity causing harm to marine life. However, heavy fuel oil may only be burned in
international waters due to the pollution created. It is commercially advantageous due to the
cost effectiveness compared to other marine fuels. It is prospected that heavy fuel oil will be
phased out of commercial use by the year 2020 (Smith, 2018).[10]
Oil and water discharge
Water, oil, and other substances collect at the bottom of the ship in what is known as the bilge.
Bilge water is pumped overboard, but must pass a pollution threshold test of 15 ppm (parts per
million) of oil to be discharged. Water is tested and either discharged if clean or recirculated to a
holding tank to be separated before being tested again. The tank it is sent back to, the oily water
separator, utilizes gravity to separate the fluids due to their viscosity. Ships over 400 gross tons
are required to carry the equipment to separate oil from bilge water. Further, as enforced by
MARPOL, all ships over 400 gross tons and all oil tankers over 150 gross tons are required to log
all oil transfers in an oil record book (EPA, 2011).[11]

Cavitation
Cavitation is the process of forming an air bubble in a liquid due to the vaporization of that liquid
cause by an area of low pressure. This area of low pressure lowers the boiling point of a liquid
allowing it to vaporize into a gas. Cavitation can take place in pumps, which can cause damage
to the impeller that moves the fluids through the system. Cavitation is also seen in propulsion.
Low pressure pockets form on the surface of the propeller blades as its revolutions per minute
increase (IIMS, 2015).[12] Cavitation on the propeller causes a small but violent implosion which
could warp the propeller blade. To remedy the issue, more blades allow the same amount of
propulsion force but at a lower rate of revolutions. This is crucial for submarines as the propeller
needs to keep the vessel relatively quiet to stay hidden. With more propeller blades, the vessel is
able to achieve the same amount of propulsion force at lower shaft revolutions.

Applications
The following categories provide a number of focus areas in which marine engineers direct their
efforts.

Arctic Engineering
In designing systems that operate in the arctic (especially scientific equipment such as
meteorological instrumentation and oceanographic buoys), marine engineers must overcome an
array of design challenges. Equipment must be able to operate at extreme temperatures for
prolonged periods of time, often with little to no maintenance. This creates the need for
exceptionally temperature-resistant materials and durable precision electronic components.

Coastal Design and Restoration

Coastal engineering applies a mixture of civil engineering and other disciplines to create coastal
solutions for areas along or near the ocean. In protecting coastlines from wave forces, erosion,
and sea level rise, marine engineers must consider whether they will use a "gray" infrastructure
solution - such as a breakwater, culvert, or sea wall made from rocks and concrete - or a "green"
infrastructure solution that incorporates aquatic plants, mangroves, and/or marsh
ecosystems.[13] It has been found that gray infrastructure costs more to build and maintain, but
it may provide better protection against ocean forces in high-energy wave environments.[14] A
green solution is generally less expensive and more well-integrated with local vegetation, but
may be susceptible to erosion or damage if executed improperly.[15] In many cases engineers
will select a hybrid approach that combines elements of both gray and green solutions.[16]
Deep Sea Systems

Life Support
The design of underwater life-support systems such as underwater habitats presents a unique
set of challenges requiring a detailed knowledge of pressure vessels, diving physiology, and
thermodynamics.

Unmanned Underwater Vehicles

Marine engineers may design or make frequent use of unmanned underwater vehicles, which
operate underwater without a human aboard. UUVs often perform work in locations which would
be otherwise impossible or difficult to access by humans due to a number of environmental
factors (e.g. depth, remoteness, and/or temperature). UUVs can be remotely operated by
humans, like in the case of remotely operated vehicles, semi-autonomous, or autonomous.

Sensors and instrumentation

The development of oceanographic sciences, subsea engineering and the ability to detect, track
and destroy submarines (anti-submarine warfare) required the parallel development of a host of
marine scientific instrumentation and sensors. Visible light is not transferred far underwater, so
the medium for transmission of data is primarily acoustic. High-frequency sound is used to
measure the depth of the ocean, determine the nature of the seafloor, and detect submerged
objects. The higher the frequency, the higher the definition of the data that is returned. Sound
Navigation and Ranging or SONAR was developed during the First World War to detect
submarines, and has been greatly refined through to the present day. Submarines similarly use
sonar equipment to detect and target other submarines and surface ships, and to detect
submerged obstacles such as seamounts that pose a navigational obstacle. Simple echo-
sounders point straight down and can give an accurate reading of ocean depth (or look up at the
underside of sea-ice). More advanced echo sounders use a fan-shaped beam or sound, or
multiple beams to derive highly detailed images of the ocean floor. High power systems can
penetrate the soil and seabed rocks to give information about the geology of the seafloor, and
are widely used in geophysics for the discovery of hydrocarbons, or for engineering survey. For
close-range underwater communications, optical transmission is possible, mainly using blue
lasers. These have a high bandwidth compared with acoustic systems, but the range is usually
only a few tens of metres, and ideally at night. As well as acoustic communications and
navigation, sensors have been developed to measure ocean parameters such as temperature,
salinity, oxygen levels and other properties including nitrate levels, levels of trace chemicals and
environmental DNA. The industry trend has been towards smaller, more accurate and more
affordable systems so that they can be purchased and used by university departments and
small companies as well as large corporations, research organisations and governments. The
sensors and instruments are fitted to autonomous and remotely-operated systems as well as
ships, and are enabling these systems to take on tasks that hitherto required an expensive
human-crewed platform. Manufacture of marine sensors and instruments mainly takes place in
Asia, Europe and North America. Products are advertised in specialist journals, and through
Trade Shows such as Oceanology International (https://www.oceanologyinternational.com/)
and Ocean Business (https://www.oceanbusiness.com/) which help raise awareness of the
products.

Environmental Engineering
In every coastal and offshore project, environmental sustainability is an important consideration
for the preservation of ocean ecosystems and natural resources. Instances in which marine
engineers benefit from knowledge of environmental engineering include creation of fisheries,
clean-up of oil spills, and creation of coastal solutions.[17]
Offshore Systems
A number of systems designed fully or in part by marine engineers are used offshore - far away
from coastlines.

Offshore oil platforms

The design of offshore oil platforms involves a number of marine engineering challenges.
Platforms must be able to withstand ocean currents, wave forces, and saltwater corrosion while
remaining structurally integral and fully anchored into the seabed. Additionally, drilling
components must be engineered to handle these same challenges with a high factor of safety to
prevent oil leaks and spills from contaminating the ocean.

Offshore wind farms

Offshore wind farms encounter many similar marine engineering challenges to oil platforms.
They provide a source of renewable energy with a higher yield than wind farms on land, while
encountering less resistance from the general public (see NIMBY).[18]

Ocean wave energy

Marine engineers continue to investigate the possibility of ocean wave energy as a viable source
of power for distributed or grid applications. Many designs have been proposed and numerous
prototypes have been built, but the problem of harnessing wave energy in a cost-effective
manner remains largely unresolved.[19]
Port and Harbor Design
A marine engineer may also deal with the planning, creation, expansion, and modification of port
and harbor designs. Harbors can be natural or artificial and protect anchored ships from wind,
waves, and currents.[20] Ports can be defined as a city, town, or place where ships are moored,
loaded, or unloaded. Ports typically reside within a harbor and are made up of one or more
individual terminals that handle a particular cargo including passengers, bulk cargo, or
containerized cargo.[21] Marine engineers plan and design various types of marine terminals and
structures found in ports, and they must understand the loads imposed on these structures over
the course of their lifetime.

Salvage and Recovery

Marine salvage techniques are continuously modified and improved to recover shipwrecks.
Marine engineers use their skills to assist at some stages of this process.

Career

Industry
With a diverse engineering background, marine engineers work in a variety of industry jobs
across every field of math, science, technology, and engineering. A few companies such as
Oceaneering International and Van Oord specialize in marine engineering, while other companies
consult marine engineers for specific projects. Such consulting commonly occurs in the oil
industry, with companies such as ExxonMobil and BP hiring marine engineers to manage
aspects of their offshore drilling projects.

Military
Marine engineering lends itself to a number of military applications – mostly related to the Navy.
The United States Navy's Seabees, Civil Engineer Corps, and Engineering Duty Officers often
perform work related to marine engineering. Military contractors (especially those in naval
shipyards) and the Army Corps of Engineers play a role in certain marine engineering projects as
well.

Expected Growth
In 2012, the average annual earnings for marine engineers in the U.S. were $96,140 with average
hourly earnings of $46.22.[22] As a field, marine engineering is predicted to grow approximately
12% from 2016 to 2026. Currently, there are about 8,200 naval architects and marine engineers
employed, however, this number is expected to increase to 9,200 by 2026 (BLS, 2017).[23] This is
due at least in part to the critical role of the shipping industry on the global market supply chain;
80% of the world's trade by volume is done overseas by close to 50,000 ships, all of which
require marine engineers aboard and shoreside (ICS, 2017).[24] Additionally, offshore energy
continues to grow, and a greater need exists for coastal solutions due to sea level rise.
