A cost overrun, also known as a cost increase or budget overrun, involves unexpected incurred costs.

Cost reduction is the process used by companies to reduce their costs and increase their profits.

The coulomb is the International System of Units (SI) unit of electric charge.

A fixed bed of carbonaceous fuel (e.g. coal or biomass) through which the "gasification agent" (steam, oxygen and/or air) flows in counter-current configuration.

Countercurrent exchange is a mechanism occurring in nature and mimicked in industry and engineering, in which there is a crossover of some property, usually heat or some chemical, between two flowing bodies flowing in opposite directions to each other.

Counter-electromotive force also known as back electromotive force, is the electromotive force or "voltage" that opposes the change in current which induced it.

The intended direction of vessel movement.

The shaped top of a natural ventilation trunk, which may be rotated to draw air into or out of the ventilated space.

The person who is in charge of a boat, the rating who steers the boat.

A fracture without complete separation characterized by a sharp tip and high ratio of length and width to opening displacement.

A band of tough steel applied as part of the hull structure to prevent a fracture from spreading.

Hydrocarbon cracking is the process of breaking a long chain of hydrocarbons into short ones.

1. A form on which bows, etc., are assembled. 2. A lifting base manufactured usually in wood or steel used to accept and support a heavy load. It would normally be employed with heavy lifting slings and shackles to each corner.

Parameters such as lifting capacity, max. working radius, min. working radius, hoisting speed, luffing time, slewing speed, slewing angle and weight.

Crane ships can be subdivided into two main categories: - Large specialized ships and barges equipped with huge cranes and used for offshore construction and installation (see Crane vessel OLEG STRASHNOV),

A crane vessel, crane ship or floating crane is a ship with a crane specialized in lifting heavy loads.

The heavy lift vessel OLEG STRASHNOV was delivered by IHC Krimpen Shipyard in 2010. It has been designed by Gusto MSC/IHC Merwede for the installation and removal of offshore platforms, subsea construction and special projects.

Hoisting devices used for cargo handling and other operations. Cranes are required to hoist, luff and slew. Separate motors are required for each motion.

A crank is an arm attached at a right angle to a rotating shaft by which circular motion is imparted to or received from the shaft.

The radial distance from the centre line of a crankshaft to the centre of a crankpin. It is equal to half of the stroke.
