And that proves what?
That that document is not evidence that he was a marine architect, as I said.
I could produce a document giving myself the title of 'Brain surgeon', which would be equally worthless.

Sure. Some random guy faked his qualifications just to fool a a few people on a website forum!

That's half true. His desired audience wasn't just a web forum but the world at large. And yes, he pretended to be something he isn't in order to get undeserved attention.

Do you understand that when you present at a conference, they simply recite whatever qualifications you claim?

Nahhhh, surely people wouldn't do THAT.....
After all, when they come up against people who actually know what they are talking about, their little book of tall tales would rapidly fall apart....
And they would totally make themselves look like total fools in the process....
Nobody here would be THAT foolish now would they????

You're merely repeating his claim, or sources that repeat his claim without evidence. The second document you've presented is a reproduction of a "paper" Bjorkman wrote.
Since you've not actually provided any evidence, I figured I'd do your job for you.
I am emailing Chalmers University of Technology.
The email will state the following:
Hello there, apologies if this is the incorrect email address to use for this kind of enquiry, however I thought I should reach out to you.
I am involved in a discussion regarding Anders Bjorkman, a man who claims to have been a naval engineer. He also claims that he received an M.Sc. in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering from your university in 1969. I was hoping that you would be able to confirm whether or not this is the case?
Again, apologies if this is not the correct place to be making this enquiry, and if that is the case, could you please provide the proper channel for my request?
Yours Faithfully, [my name]

For which part? The evidence that he sought wider attention than just a web forum is ample in the form of his numerous appearances and publication. The evidence that he was pretending to be something he isn't is his quite evident incompetence.

It DOES have a department of Mechanics and Maritime Services.
Vixen seemed to insist that he specifically went to a naval college.

Firstly, I have had my email allocated a ticket number.
Secondly and far stupider, I forgot to actually change the [my name] part of that posted I copied and pasted to actually use my name. Fortunately they have my real name anyway.

They do not teach naval architecture.

First, as has been explained to you ad nauseam, he has demonstrated that he is "doolally" in physics, including nuclear physics. One simply cannot be a competent naval architect without a strong understanding of physics. Why is this so hard for you to accept?
Second, as has also been explained to you repeatedly, even if we were to grant that he is a lunatic in one area but might be a competent professional in another, we would require extremely strong and convincing evidence that that was the case. "Because I (and he) say so" definitely does not cut it.

Count me in that "we" as well.
Did they in 1969?
ETA: and they currently teach a Masters in Maritime Engineering, which mentions naval architecture.
