Contamination is the presence of a constituent, impurity, or some other undesirable element that spoils, corrupts, infects, makes unfit, or makes inferior a material, physical body, natural environment, workplace, etc.

Continental crust is the layer of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks that forms the geological continents and the areas of shallow seabed close to their shores, known as continental shelves.

A continental shelf is a portion of a continent that is submerged under an area of relatively shallow water known as a shelf sea.

Continuous gusts or stochastic gusts are winds that vary randomly in space and time.

A new SOLAS Regulation XI-1/5 requires ships to be issued with a CSR, which is intended to provide an on-board record of the history of the ship.

A weld that extends continuously from one end of a joint to the other. If the joint is circular, it extends entirely around the joint.

The process of conveying a command or order to enable the desired action to be done. - Automatic control – A means of control that conveys predetermined orders without operator action.

The Wärtsilä 3C is a fully integrated vessel control system with a single interface. It allows the seamless integration of all the essential vessel control systems...

Control engineering or control systems engineering is an engineering discipline that applies control theory to design equipment and systems with desired behaviors in control environments.

A control loop is the fundamental building block of industrial control systems.

The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 is a United Kingdom Statutory Instrument which states general requirements imposed on employers to protect employees and other persons from the hazards of substances used at work by risk assessment, control of exposure, health surveillance and incident planning.

Control rods are used in nuclear reactors to control the fission rate of uranium or plutonium.

A control room or operations room is a room serving as a central space where a large physical facility or physically dispersed service can be monitored and controlled.

Those spaces in which the ship radio or the main navigating equipment or the emergency source of power is located, or where the fire recording or fire control equipment is centralized, (SOLAS).

A control system manages, commands, directs, or regulates the behavior of other devices or systems using control loops.

Control theory deals with the control of dynamical systems in engineered processes and machines.

A valve that regulates the fluid flow. It is usually operated remotely as the regulating unit of an automatic control system. The actuator may be pneumatic, electric or hydraulic in operation.

To stop the ripening process and to preserve the quality of fruit, vegetables, flowers or other perishable goods during sea transport, Controlled Atmosphere (CA) has proved to be an ideal solution.

Load shedding can also be initiated by transmission system operators.

The controlled source electromagnetic method, also called sea bed logging, is a mostly offshore geophysical technique, employing electromagnetic remote-sensing technology to map the electric resistivity distribution of the subsurface.
