Main propulsion machinery and steering systems. Covers slow-speed and medium-speed main engines, steering gear, bow thrusters, shaft generators, and stern tube seals.

Auxiliary engine power generation systems. Includes diesel generator sets, alternators, switchboards, emergency generators, and turbochargers that supply electrical power for shipboard operations during sea passage and port stays.

Boiler and steam systems. Covers auxiliary boilers, exhaust gas economizers, composite boilers, steam distribution systems, and boiler automation used for heating fuel, cargo, accommodation, and driving steam-powered auxiliaries.

Hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Includes air compressors, hydraulic power packs, pneumatic control systems, and associated piping that serve deck machinery, engine room auxiliaries, and control systems aboard ship.

Oil purification and fuel treatment systems. Covers fuel oil purifiers, lubricating oil purifiers, fuel oil service systems, and associated heaters and settling tanks critical for engine fuel quality and lubrication.

Fresh water generators and heat exchangers. Includes plate-type and shell-and-tube heat exchangers, vacuum-type fresh water generators, and central cooling systems essential for distillation and thermal management.

Engine governors and control — speed governors, actuators, engine control and safety systems, alarm monitoring, and power-management integration for main and auxiliary engines.

HVAC and refrigeration systems. Covers air conditioning plants, provision refrigeration, battery ventilation systems, and climate control for accommodation, engine rooms, and cargo spaces.

Steel hull structure, hull outfitting, accommodation ladders and gangways, hatch and watertight closures, and shipyard fabrication work, grouped by shipboard function.

Deck cranes, hatch covers, mooring winches, windlasses, anchor chains, steering gear systems, and all mechanical equipment on the weather deck used for cargo operations and ship handling.

Cargo pump and tank systems. Covers cargo pumps for tankers, tank heating coils, inert gas systems, crude oil washing equipment, and all machinery associated with liquid cargo handling and tank management.

Life-saving appliances (LSA) and fire-fighting appliances (FFA). Includes lifeboats, liferafts, SCBA sets, CO2 fixed systems, fire detection, foam systems, fire hoses, immersion suits, and lifejackets — all SOLAS-mandated safety equipment.

Electric, hydraulic and pneumatic motors and the drives that run them.

Navigation and communication equipment. Covers VHF radios, GPS receivers, gyrocompasses, navigation lights, ECDIS, radar, AIS, GMDSS, and all bridge electronics required by SOLAS Chapter V and the STCW Convention.

The overflow category — equipment that does not map to a dedicated system letter, including miscellaneous deck, hydraulic, and general-purpose shipboard machinery.

Pumps found on merchant vessels including tankers, chemical tankers and cargo ships.

The maritime Yellow Pages — crewing, training, management, services, and professional directory.

Environmental and regulatory compliance systems — MARPOL, BWMS, HPSCR and scrubbers.

Marine stores, spares and consumables — deck, engine, cabin and safety supplies classified by product category and anchored to the IMPA Marine Stores Guide.

Turbocharger systems and components, grouped by manufacturer.

Underwater, diving and UWILD (Underwater Inspection in Lieu of Drydock) services: hull inspection, cleaning, propeller polishing, cathodic protection, repair, salvage and welding by divers and ROV as an alternative to drydocking.

Vessel-type taxonomy — ship categories used to classify seafarers' sea-service experience and to filter maritime recruitment by vessel type.

High-value branded deck and engine stores — product types where the brand drives the purchasing decision. Each node groups competing manufacturers.

Equipment-first classification for brand-conscious electrical and electronic stores. Each node groups all brands that make that product type.

Shipyards, drydocks and ship-recycling facilities — where vessels are built, repaired, surveyed and recycled. Reserved codes in the published standard are omitted until they are named.

Automation, calibration, and electrical/electronic systems. Includes engine room automation, power management systems, alarm and monitoring systems, UPS, calibration instruments, and all shipboard electronic control systems.
