Technical Publications

Overview

By using professionally qualified engineers as technical authors we provide the sound technical expertise necessary for our technical publications. Our engineers have marine, mechanical, electrical, electronic, weapons and logistics skills.

Isherwoods technical publications allow owners and operators to satisfy all requirements of their national Government departments, international agencies eg. International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regulations, classification societies or other relevant bodies. Isherwoods manuals also provide an ideal training reference.

Operating Manuals

We are happy to provide quotations on request for Operating Manuals and other Technical Publications for any defined systems or installations.

Isherwoods operating manuals and handbooks have the big advantage of including the operation of complete systems, 'as fitted' , including all the integrated equipment needed to enable operations personnel to carry out their duties safely and efficiently.

In contrast to this most manufacturers manuals do not provide this information and describe only the operation of their own item of equipment without regard to the system in which it is fitted.

We particularly consider the fact that equipment and components from many manufacturers are designed to meet specific operational requirements of a system during building and are linked in a manner unique to each project.

Our extensive range of technical publications includes:-

General Facilities Handbooks
