DEFINATION FOR GAS CARRIER
TERMINOLOGY:
Air Lock:- A seperation area used to maintain adjacent areas at a perssure differential, e.g. an electric motor room air-lock on a gas carrier is used to maintain pressure segregation between a gas-dangerous zone on the open weather deck and the presuurised gas-safe motor room.
Anaesthesia:- A loss of bodily sensation or consciousness.
Approved Equipment:- Equipment of a design that has been type tested and approved by an appropriate authority such as Administration or Classification Society. Such authority will have certified the particular equipment as safe for use in a specified hazardous atmosphere.
Asphyxiation:- The condition arising when the blood is deprived of an adequate supply of oxygen, so that loss of consciousness will follow.
Asphyxiant Gas:- A gas which has little or no positive toxic effect but which can bring about unconsciousness and death by replacing air and thus depriving an organism of oxygen.
Auto-Ignition Temperature:- The lowest temperature to which a solid, liquid or gas requires to be raised to cause self-sustained combustion without initiation by a spark, flame or other source of ignition.

Making of career seas with my eyes.
Shipping Industry one of the important industries of India as India is gifted with beautiful costal line along 3 side of the country which opens our chance to trade though sea. I was been associated with Merchant navy since my childhood as my uncles, family friends, bothers served this industry in different forms in different genres.
As been so closely associated with sailor I had very different view about them then the rest of the world. I had lot of respect for them because it is not easy to overcome rough weather; it is not easy dark space surrounded by sea all the side; it is not easy to visit different country and communicate with strangers with mere sign language, it is not easy navigate with help of star (were for us it even difficult to understand simple road map)and most difficult to learn different concept of physics and engineering. I even look up a sailor as idol which passionate me to achieve seven seas. This passion made me strive and work hard for concept of Career seas.
It was beautiful evening when a sailor unknowly gave rise to this concept of Career seas. Later we worked out this concept with IT experts, even many sailor gave there useful input while making framework for this portal. Like a “web-place” for sailor’s welfare of India, a “web-place” for sharing knowledge, “web-place” for sailor to communicate, “web-place” as stress buster for sailor, “web-place” which can help them in many ways.
And we started developing this concept into portal. At this moment of time we have done with lot of it which will be releasing soon. And with the continues useful input from sailor we are improving Career seas.
Hope you will enjoy the Career seas.
