New 'Guide to Hull & Machinery'

International multidisciplinary marine surveyors and consultants Braemar (Incorporating The Salvage Association), (Braemar SA), has published the third edition of its Guide to Hull & Machinery.

The publication is primarily designed to help those with a nontechnical background and who are possibly unfamiliar with some or all of the nautical and engineering technical terms used in marine survey reports. 

Braemar SA launched its Guide to Hull & Machinery in 2010 and then published a second edition in 2012. The guide reinforces Braemar SA’s commitment to providing technical background knowledge and understanding to marine insurance and other shipping related professionals on some of the common terminology used for ships, their engines and ship-related operations, often encountered in survey reports. 

Nigel Clark, Managing Director of Braemar SA, said, “We have been thrilled with the popularity of the Guide to Hull & Machinery within the wider shipping and marine industry since it was first launched. To keep the guide up to date and relevant we are now publishing our third edition and we anticipate demand for copies will once again be high.”

Braemar SA’s Guide to Hull & Machinery is now available in hard copy and is free of charge to those working in the marine claims and marine insurance industry.
