Marine Diesel Oil
Marine diesel oil (MDO) is a distillate marine fuel classified as grade DMB under ISO 8217, sitting between marine gas oil and heavier residual intermediate fuel oils.
Marine engineering
Marine engineering, also called ocean engineering, is the branch of engineering that designs, builds, and maintains ships' internal systems, including propulsion plants, power generation, and steering gear.
Marine expeditionary unit
A Marine expeditionary unit (MEU), formerly a Marine Amphibious Unit, is the smallest standing Marine air-ground task force, a sea-based force of roughly 2,200 to 2,500 Marines and Sailors.

Marine paint and antifouling coating prevents algae, barnacles, and molluscs attaching to underwater hulls, where heavy biofouling can raise a vessel's fuel consumption by 40 percent.
Marine predators algorithm
The marine predators algorithm (MPA) is a nature-inspired metaheuristic for numerical and engineering optimization, introduced by Afshin Faramarzi and colleagues in 2020, that models Lévy and Brownian foraging of ocean predators.
Marine propulsion
Marine propulsion, also known as ship propulsion, is the machinery and hydrodynamic system that generates thrust to move a ship, evolving from steam and sail to diesel-electric drives and now facing decarbonization.
Marine railway
A marine railway is a dry docking installation that hauls boats out of the water on a wheeled cradle for repair, known in Britain as a slipway.
Marine Rescue Coordination Centre
A marine rescue coordination center (MRCC), also called a maritime rescue coordination center, is a shore-based unit that coordinates maritime search and rescue operations within a defined region.
Marine steam engine
A marine steam engine is a heat engine that turns steam raised in a ship's boiler into propulsion, powering most merchant and naval ships from the mid-1800s until diesel took over.
