Cargo work: cargo work for nautical officers
(Notion Press, 2023-06-02) Dixit, Vartul.
The book on Cargo Work is an excellent resource for Nautical Officers pursuing a B.Sc. in NS or DNS. It is also helpful as a reference for any author wishing to read a book on the topic of Cargo Work. This book will also be useful to Maritime fraternity.
Occupational hazards in modern bulk carrier vessel and how to mitigate the hazards
(International journal of recent advances in multidisciplinary topics, 2021-07) Dixit, Vartul.
Occupational hazards are integral hazards which remains present on the vessel with typical work requirements on vessel. Author’s approach is to disclose how these hazards are linked with specific nature of work and the methodology to assess these risks in advance for taking of accident preventive measures. Past case studies clearly shows that many accidents, fatal injuries, major or minor injuries happens mostly due to human error and secondly by the machinery or equipment failures. Seafarers are exposed to high diversity of occupational hazards (Marcus Oldenburg, 2010, journal of occupation health: occupational challenges and risk in seafaring profession).
Research for improvement of safety in survival at sea
(Journal of Research in Humanities and Social Science, 2023) Dixit, Vartul.
Survival at sea in case of unfortunate abandonment of the ship is a real challenge for all seafarers. International Maritime Organization has convened and given a convention called “Safety of Life at Sea”. As per this convention after abandonment from ship and during survival in life boat seafarer has to depend on 3 litre of water per person per day, which is really impractical for surviving many days at sea. It also says collect rain, drizzle water but the question is what is surety of rain, drizzle will precipitate during survival days, hence author and researcher has done great research to find out sustainable method of survival at sea. Formation of drinking water and use of SOLAR power in addition to existing mode of power supply will be ensuring the enhance safety at sea.
Research for navigation safety and function of electronic devices on ship
(International journal of recent advances in multidisciplinary topics, 2023) Dixit, Vartul.
The Marine Radar and use of electronic chart gives precise calculation of range and bearing of targets which is required for accurate navigation. Integration of radar wave detection and ranging system on the navigational station is a mandatory requirement for safe navigation. Human eye alone can guess the distance but cannot quantitatively state the range of object therefore, intervention of RADAR technology makes a ship master accurate object detector. In navigation we can fix vessel’s position by many methods like by cross bearings taken from two different objects, beam bearing to four-point bearing method, Horizontal sextant method, Vertical sextant method, cross bearing from three objects, by celestial fix, by bearing of object and sounding contour change, GPS fixing and by marine Radar. A ship’s master can monitor vessel’s real time position continuously on the ECDIS monitor. All together both equipment have improved master’s ability to better monitoring of navigation.
Research for prevention of corrosion, erosion and fouling on the ship
(International journal of innovative research in technology, 2023-05) Dixit, Vartul.
Ship builders mainly uses ferrous metal Mild steel plate for the ship construction. Over the years metal decay starts due to corrosion, erosion etc. Fouling of underwater hull is another problem for hull deterioration. Sun’s thermal activity also affects the metal day by day to a small extent. This research is great helpful to ship builders and ship-owners in understanding the corrosion reactions, activity on metal as well as in deployment of control measures
