First sentence: A ship at sea depends upon the knowledge, skills and self-reliance of the crew to carry
out necessary maintenance and repair work. One of the important skills required is a
good command of modern welding techniques
Description: The purpose of the Welding Handbook for maritime welders is to provide guidance
in modern welding and related processes and to provide the welder with a source of
practical information on the right solution to specific onboard welding problems.
Experience gained from user contact and welding training of crewmembers showed that
documentation aimed specifically at on board welding solutions was needed. This led
to the development of the first welding handbook for on-board repair and maintenance
welding already the 1950es.
This edition of the UNITOR Welding Handbook builds upon all the earlier editions and on
Wilhelmsen Ships Service’s business activity.
