The database is a result of a collaboration between the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology and British Maritime Technology.
- Ship and vessel descriptions;
- Design and construction;
- Ship powering, equipment, maintenance, repair, conversion;
- Cargo handling/port design and operation;
- Safety at sea/environmental protection;
- Coastal and ocean engineering/offshore technology;
- Fluid mechanics, hydrodynamics, hydraulics and aerodynamics;
- Ship resistance and propulsion, motions, seakeeping and manoeuvring;
- Structural response, material properties, corrosion and fouling;
- Naval vessels and defence technology.
Each record consists of up to seven fields, containing the following data:
- Index number (assigned by BMT or IMarEST);
- Title of article, report etc.;
- Source information, including title of source document, date, page numbers etc.;
- Author(s);
- Language;
- Ship name(s), if specific ship data is provided;
- Abstract, providing a free text description of the item;
- Keyword(s), providing a structured language description of the document.
The abstracts purport to be fair summaries of the articles, papers etc., but neither BMT nor IMarEST accept responsibility for statements made in the original documents, nor do they necessarily with their contents.
Collaborating organisations
"The international membership body and learned society for marine professionals"
The IMarEST is the international professional membership body and learned society offering chartered status to qualified marine scientists, technologists and engineers. The Institute is the largest marine organization of its kind, with a worldwide membership of 16,000 marine professionals in over 100 countries. IMarEST works to promote the development of marine science, engineering and technology, provide opportunities and platforms for the exchange of ideas and practices, and work to uphold the status and knowledge of marine scientists, engineers and technologists. The Marine Information Centre (MIC) / Library, on the third floor of the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology building, is a leading source of marine and offshore information and offers a range of traditional library services and specialised databases to both members of the IMarEST and the public.
BMT is an international design, engineering and risk management consultancy, working principally in the defence, energy, marine technical services and transport sectors. BMT invests significantly in research. Its customers are served through a network of international subsidiary companies. The assets are held in beneficial ownership for its staff.
BMT’s two libraries, at Teddington and Wallsend, provide a full library and information service to BMT staff at 9 UK locations, and also to BMT overseas companies in the USA, Canada, Poland and at several locations in the Far East. In addition, they provide library and information services externally, including a monthly abstracts journal (BMT Abstracts).
