Pocket-Sized Engineering Q&A for Exams and Onboard Use

Hundreds of clear questions and answers across ship systems – from firefighting and electrics to engines and boilers, with annotated diagrams throughout.

A Pocket Book of Marine Engineering Questions & Answers is a compact and practical reference for marine engineering students, trainers and serving engineers. Presented in a Q&A format, it provides a structured approach to reinforcing knowledge across a wide range of shipboard systems – ideal for revision, self-testing, and quick onboard reference.

Topics covered include firefighting, safety procedures, engine room systems, electrical protection, instrumentation, diesel engine theory, lubrication, boilers, and much more. Bold headings make navigation easy, and the book is supported by annotated line drawings to clarify technical points throughout.

This is a valuable resource for anyone preparing for engineering oral or written examinations, or looking to maintain a strong working knowledge of marine systems in a fast-paced onboard environment.
