The Welding Handbook for maritime welders The Welding Handbook

Abstract

Notice: All welding is carried out on the welder's own risk and account. Welding should be executed by a qualified and experienced welder and adequate safety measures should always be adhered to. The information and guidelines in this Welding Handbook are based on general information and knowledge at hand and are believed to be accurate and reliable, but the information and guidelines are not to be taken as a guarantee or warranty for a special purpose. The information and guidelines are provided to the welder solely for his own consideration, and Wilhelmsen Maritime Services AS assumes no legal responsibility or liability for eventual damages and/or losses should the information and/or guidelines turn out to be incorrect or un-suitable. Wilhelmsen Maritime Services AS is not liable for any loss or damages whatsoever and howsoever arising which is due to force majeure, other events beyond the reasonable control of Wilhelmsen Maritime Services AS or events that could not reasonably be foreseen by Wilhelmsen Maritime Services AS when this Welding Handbook was made. Wilhelmsen Maritime Services AS is in no event liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages or losses, including damages for loss of profits, resulting from lack of conformity, including but not limited to loss resulting from goods or software not working when connected to other goods/software or for any related cause thereto. Wilhelmsen Maritime Services AS's liability shall in any event not exceed the total purchase price of the Wilhelmsen Maritime Services AS goods used during the welding operations. Theses conditions are automatically accepted by anybody using the information and guidelines in this Welding Handbook.
