Dear Visitor,

In this section, we have created a library for you to occupy your time during your long hours at sea. To pass the time, perhaps you can read during your watch, especially during the wee early hours of the morning, when everybody is asleep upstairs.

Especially at these times, it is not advisable to do major work on machinery and repairs. Many unforeseen incidents can happen, especially if your ship is a rather old junk. It's good to wait until it is day time because by then, there will be somebody awake that can readily assist you if you undergo difficulty.

Be free to browse through and do not hesitate to download those e-books that interests you. I am sure many of the titles will interest you.

Well, you can't bring e-books down to the engine room, can you? So we have also joined up with reputable books and magazine companies to provide you with your reading needs.

Now, we have made it easy for you. We have carefully selected books and magazines that you need. Do feel free to browse through our bookstore and make your selection. Have a good read and time flies very quickly for you. Enjoy your life at sea.

Happy Shopping!

Thomas Yoon

Engineering Knowledge Notes

Probably the most difficult subjects in the Marine Engineer's Competency Examinations are the General Engineering Knowledge and the Motor Engineering Knowledge. Many candidates failed in these exams because the topics covered are very wide, and they concentrated only on a few topics.

These e-books are a must for those who want to pass their exams and be eligible for a promotion to a higher rank. Yes, it's true. Without passing the exams and obtaining that license, you will not be able to work as a Second Engineer or Chief Engineer.
