Evacuation means leaving the ship, also an offshore unit or installation and moving away from the vicinity in an emergency in a systematic manner and without directly entering the sea.

Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase.

An evaporative cooler (also evaporative air conditioner, swamp cooler, swamp box, desert cooler and wet air cooler) is a device that cools air through the evaporation of water.

A heat exchanger in which cold, low-pressure (liquid) refrigerant is vaporized to absorb heat from the warmer surrounding air, earth, or water.

In particle physics, an event refers to the results just after a fundamental interaction took place between subatomic particles, occurring in a very short time span, at a well-localized region of space.

The overall examination is intended to report on the overall condition of the hull structure and determine the extent of additional close-up examinations.

The exclusive economic zone (up to 200 nautical miles off the shoreline) is not part of the State’s territory but is subject to the coastal State’s exclusive jurisdiction and control for selected purposes, one of which is the production of energy from winds.

In thermodynamics, the exergy of a system is the maximum useful work possible during a process that brings the system into equilibrium with a heat reservoir, reaching maximum entropy.

Any substance which, if introduced into the sea or atmosphere, is liable to create hazards to human health, ecosystems, or marine life, to damage amenities, or to interfere with other legitimate uses of the sea, (IMO).

A boiler that utilises the heat from engine exhausts to create steam.

A water tube exhaust gas boiler with forced water circulation designed for heat recovery from engine exhaust gas. The boiler is used in connection with one or more oil fired boilers which act as steam/water space.

Alternative compliance method at least as effective in terms of emission reductions as that required by Regulation 14 of Annex VI to MARPOL 73/78, which requires ships to use fuel oil with a limited sulphur content. Usually refers to SOx scrubbers.

Exhaust gas emissions increasingly become a more stringent topic of public interest in the context of merchant shipping industry.

Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission reduction technique used in a reciprocating internal combustion engine, which involves diluting the intake air with recirculated exhaust gases.

A section of the engine exhaust that reduces or muffles the sound of an engine exhaust system.

A turbine wheel driven by exhaust gases from the engine rigidly coupled to a centrifugal air compressor.

The gas which leaves a system after energy exchange or conversion process, e.g. combustion gases from a diesel engine, a boiler, a gas turbine or an incinerator.

The valve through which exhaust gases leave the engine. The exhaust valve consists of a valve housing and a spindle.

In thermodynamics, the term exothermic process describes a process or reaction that releases energy from the system to its surroundings, usually in the form of heat, but also in a form of light, electricity, or sound.

A trunk extending above a space which is used for stowage of liquid cargo. The surface of the liquid cargo is kept sufficiently high in the trunk to permit expansion without risk of ...
