Content Structure
Content
Jane’s Marine Propulsion provides a single reference source for all commercial and workboat application, marine propulsion, diesel and gas turbine engines and transmissions currently in production worldwide. For practical purposes a cut-off at 370 kW (500 hp) is applied, to exclude the numerous small engines offered for recreational and light commercial applications. Much of the information appearing in this publication is available in various formats, predominantly from the manufacturers themselves. However, the wide variation in the ways the information is laid out, not to mention different systems of units, does not readily make the task of comparing one product with another very easy.
Structure
- Jane’s Marine Propulsion is grouped into four sections:
- Company Profiles – Contains information on each manufacturer, arranged alphabetically and includes headings of Address, Key Personnel, Products, Distributors, Servicing Facilities and Propulsion Application Groups.
- Diesel Engines – This section is also arranged alphabetically by manufacturer covering each engine series currently in production.
- Gas Turbine Engines – This section is alphabetical by manufacturer and covers each series in current production.
- Marine Transmissions/Gearboxes – Arranged alphabetically by manufacturer with a description of the product programme of each manufacturer.
Record Structure
The following main headings are used within each record:- Development – This heading covers a brief outline of the development of a specified item or equipment.
- Description – Under this heading a detailed technical description is given.
- Specifications – This heading covers the equipment’s technical specifications.
- Contractor – The manufacturer.
Images
Photographs are provided for each equipment wherever possible. Line drawings and graphics are also provided in some cases. Images are annotated with a seven-digit number which uniquely identifies them in Jane’s image database.Other Information
An index lists the names of both the engine manufacturers and the individual brands and the glossary explains commonly used terms and abbreviations. Jane’s Marine Propulsion is published every six months in softbound format. The title is also available on CD-ROM and as part of our online service via the Internet. Online gives the capability of real-time editing, permitting frequent updating. We trust our readers will use this facility to keep abreast of the latest changes as and when they occur. In response to requests from our customers we are continuing to add ship reference lists. This shows examples in which vessels the engines and transmissions we describe are installed. We believe this is a considerable enhancement to the information and makes the Content description more complete. The task of compiling these lists is considerable and is gradually being phased into the publication as and when information is forthcoming. Originally the book publication was identical to the electronic version. However, the sheer volume of information being added with the reference lists has forced us to the decision to produce two separate lists. The electronic version will carry the full selected listing and an edited shorter version will go into the softbound publication.Commonly Used Terms:
