The domestic and international rules governing the qualifications
for personnel serving on tank vessels have changed in recent years.
To address those new requirements, the fourth edition of Tanker
Operations incorporates new material by Mark Huber and other
contributors, providing an updated textbook for maritime schools
and individuals pursuing a tankerman endorsement. It is also a
standard reference for anyone involved in the tanker industry. The
subject areas from the third edition have been expanded and address
such basics as vessel construction and cargo characteristics; cargo
piping and venting systems; cargo measurement and transfer
operations; ballasting and deballasting; tank cleaning operations
and pollution regulations; gas freeing and inert gas systems. New
sections include inspection procedures for chartering, cargo pump
troubleshooting, and details concerning the role of the tankerman
from a commercial perspective in the transportation industry.
Separate chapters are devoted to the hazards and precautions
relating to enclosed space entry and the emergency operations that
involve situations specific to the cargo area of a vessel. Review
questions have been incorporated at the end of each chapter to
ensure that the information has been covered and understood by the
reader. A comprehensive glossary is also provided.

The Beginner's Guide to Engineering series is designed to provide a
very simple, non-technical introduction to the fields of
engineering for people with no experience in the fields. Each book
in the series focuses on introducing the reader to the various
concepts in the fields of engineering conceptually rather than
mathematically. These books are a great resource for high school
students that are considering majoring in one of the engineering
fields, or for anyone else that is curious about engineering but
has no background in the field. Books in the series: 1. The
Beginner's Guide to Engineering: Chemical Engineering 2. The
Beginner's Guide to Engineering: Computer Engineering 3. The
Beginner's Guide to Engineering: Electrical Engineering 4. The
