OCEAN ENGINEERING DEFINITION & OVERVIEW |
 Ocean engineering: "Ocean Engineering is an ambiguously defined discipline, but may refer to Oceanographic Engineering a term describing marine electronics engineering applied to supporting the work of oceanographers; or, may refer to offshore engineering, or maritime engineering, which is the branch of engineering allied to civil engineering, and concerned with the technical aspects of fixed and floating offshore marine structures and systems related to harnessing ocean resources. These include offshore oil and gas and the rapidly expanding area of ocean renewable energy, as well as other ocean resource activities such as sub-sea mining and aquaculture.
The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) describes the work of "ocean engineers" as follows:
Ocean engineers study the ocean environment to determine its effects on ships and other marine vehicles and structures. Ocean engineers may design and operate stationary ocean platforms, or manned or remote-operated sub-surface vehicles used for deep sea exploration.
Although the term appears to describe one who designs, maintains, and operates oceans, the SNAME description bears a strong resemblance to a conflation of naval architecture, marine electronics, and offshore engineering.
As with all engineering disciplines ocean engineering should be concerned with the design and operation of systems — in the ocean; and should not be confused with oceanography — the scientific study of oceanic systems; nor marine electronics engineering (oceanographic engineering), which is concerned with the design and operation of remote sensing systems. Ocean engineering sounds essentially like another name for offshore engineering and a variant term for subsea engineering to encompass the reality of subsea structures and systems being both above and below the water. Ocean Engineering does not include the design of ships (naval architecture), or the design of electronic, electrical and mechanical systems that exist within ships and offshore installations.
Ocean engineering is essentially an American neologism for offshore civil engineering and oceanographic electronic engineering; as such it may encompass the study of man-made structures such as nearshore piers, breakwaters, groins, piles, and sewer outfalls as well as common offshore structures such as petroleum drilling and operating platforms."

| OCEAN ENGINEERING TECHNICAL MANUAL TRANSLATION |
 Manuals, almost by definition, are technical in nature as they
invariably supply instructions and technical specifications that apply to a particular subject, field, business or profession.
Technical manuals are usually intended for distribution to foreign markets. Foreign countries imply changes to technical specifications (electrical standards,
building codes, to name a few) not to mention the applicability of legal disclaimers, safety requirements, local usage customs, etc.
We can assist you with the localization of technical manuals and accompanying specifications. |

| RÉSUMÉ TRANSLATION SERVICES |
 When you apply for work put your best foot forward and make a lasting
impression with a résumé that has been translated by an expert who is fluent in your native language and is familiar with the technical language of the field you work in.
Don't settle for anything but the best and allow us to present you in the best possible light. |
| TECHNICAL PROOFREADING SERVICE |
 Our proofreading service consists of reviewing any text for errors – hard copy (written documentation) or electronic (e.g. websites, MSWord files, PowerPoint files).The types of errors we look for include: missing words; typos; spelling mistakes; formatting errors; missing or bad punctuation; etc.
The proofreading service is combined with light copy-editing: checking for grammar; improper language usage; run-on sentences; consistency issues; etc. Our objective is to improve the formatting, style and accuracy of your written material without changing the content. |
