UNIVERSIDAD MARITIMA DE MALMÖE

Traditionally, one of the most effective means for the wider transmission of new ideas and knowledge in higher education has been through scholarly publication. This is the principal mechanism whereby universities assemble, store and disseminate the findings of their research. Scholarly publications are also an important mechanism in terms of fulfilling WMU's global responsibilities under our Charter to provide an international focus for networking and collaboration.


WMU Publications has been established as the route for publishing of scholarly books on maritime affairs written by WMU staff and external maritime experts linked to the University.

More Than Half of US Mariners Intend to Leave the Job in Next Five Years

 

 

 

 More than half of American mariners responding to a new survey say they plan to leave their jobs in the next five years.

This is one finding of an international study based on responses from 4,372 mariners, including 500 Americans, sailing in a range of billets aboard different types of commercial vessels.

The study was conducted by World Maritime University with support from the Officers’ Union of International Seamen (OUIS), of which MM&P and MEBA are members.

The three largest groups were from India (25.1 percent), the Philippines (15.8 percent) and the US (11.5 percent).

US seafarers reported the longest workweeks—79 hours. Additionally, 94.8 percent of American seafarers reported not having a weekly day off, and 87.6 percent of

All the key electronics a ship's ETO needs for exams and daily watchkeeping

 

ELECTRON THEORY AND ATOMIC FUNDAMENTALS

Everything on a ship — cables, motor windings, power semiconductors — is built from atoms. For an ETO, understanding atomic structure is the foundation that makes all of electronics logical rather than a memory exercise.

Q1: What is an atom and what are its main components?
A: An atom is the smallest particle that carries the chemical identity of an element. The word comes from the Greek for indivisible. Every atom has a dense nucleus at its centre containing protons and neutrons, with electrons existing in probability orbitals (electron clouds) around the nucleus. Over 99.9% of an atom's mass sits in the nucleus. Protons carry positive charge, neutrons
