A film defect, temporary or permanent, in which bubbles of air or solvent vapour, or both, are present.

In electric power distribution and transmission, a Buchholz relay is a safety device mounted on some oil-filled power transformers and reactors, equipped with an external overhead oil reservoir called a "conservator".

The hopper unloading system on self-discharging dredgers. The self-discharging dredger SAND FALCON is provided with the hopper-mounted bucketwheel unloader.

A portable cover secured over deck opening of the hawsepipe and the chain pipes to restrict the flow of water through the openings.

A deformation of certain parts of ship, s structure: a bulge bend or other condition of the structure caused by in plane compressive stresses and/or shear forces.

The load necessary to cause buckling instability of a particular structure.

The deformed shape of a particular structure that is adopted following imposition of an external (compressive) load. It is usually described in terms of the number of waveforms...

A building envelope is the physical separator between the conditioned and unconditioned environment of a building including the resistance to air, water, heat, light, and noise transfer.

A computer-based control system installed in buildings that controls and monitors the building's mechanical and electrical equipment such as ventilation, lighting, power systems, fire systems, and security systems.

A slipway, a dry dock, or a ground level assembly area where the ship is completed for launching.

Building-integrated photovoltaics are photovoltaic materials that are used to replace conventional building materials in parts of the building envelope such as the roof, skylights, or facades.

A stiffener utilising an increase in steel mass on the outer end of the web instead of a separate flange.

Cargo which is brought aboard unpacked and has flowing, pumping or pouring properties. The most common bulk cargoes are: petroleum and its derivatives, coal, coke, grain, fertilizers, minerals, ores, bauxite and cement.

According to Significant Ships of 2006 EYLUL K is the double hull 20,000dwt Turkish bulk carrier designed by Delta Marine Co from Istanbul and built by Torgem Shipyard.

A vessel designed to carry dry cargo, loaded into the vessel with no containment other than that of the ship, s boundaries, as distinguished from the liquid bulk carrier or tanker.

A container designed for carrying free-flowing dry cargoes loaded through hatchways in the roof of the container and discharged through hatchways at one end of the container.

The uppermost deck up to which the transverse watertight bulkheads and shell are carried.

Access doors or flood prevention doors. A wide variety of designs and configurations are available: side-hinged door, sliding door, upward rolling door, and top-hinged door.

Vertical partition walls which subdivide the ship interior into watertight compartments. Bulkheads reduce the extent of seawater flooding in case of damage and provide additional stiffness to the hull girder.

Fore-and-aft vertical plating directly above the upper edge of the ship side surrounding the exposed deck(s).
