Abstract

The methodology of measurements of low frequency electromagnetic field intensity, existing on the seagoing ships, is presented. The selected results of the tests taken during the ship’s stay in the port and at sea, are performed. In some chosen places, the level of electric and magnetic constituents of the field intensity was assessed. The sources of strong magnetic field in the low frequency range have been located, its spectrum course was of 1/f type. Due to the analysis of measurements results, the level of electromagnetic field intensity was evaluated, in reference to standards and recommendations of marine classification societies. The analysis of the emitted disturbances level was carried out, bearing in mind the crew protection against the excessive emission of electromagnetic field.
