    Computational Mechanics Publications

    Abstract

    The four different but usual alternatives are used in an attempt to find an optimal solution for the propulsion system of a 19000 DWT 18 Kn. container ship taking into account both technical parameters and economical aspects. The multi-criteria method is considered. Initial data is listed and assumptions are outlined. Alternatives are discussed. Lastly evaluation is provided.

    Abstract

    Techniques of ship self-management in which the ships crew (released from more traditional duties by the technological advances in ship operation) become increasingly involved in ship management are discussed with reference to the experience of a number of major companies using this approach. They include Panocean-Anco Ltd (emphasis on interaction between ship and shore staff with devolution of responsibilities) Esso Petroleum Co (its Programme for Organisation Development based on teamwork and group control) Jebsen (UK) Ltd (management teams on board ship in control of all ship operations with support groups on shore) DFDS Denmark and Salenredrierna AB Sweden (shipboard control of day-to-day operations with each ship an independent economoc unit) and Hapag-Lloyd (multi-purpose crew).

  • Naval ship classification rules derived from merchant ship classification rules

    2003

    Abstract

    In 2000 the French Navy and BV (Bureau Veritas) began to develop classification rules for military ships. These were based on the BV2000 latest edition of BV rules for merchant ships. The important changes concern stability and survivability fire detection protection extinction with the need to maintain a safe damaged operation state and the introduction of rules for manoeuvrability and sea keeping. Particular service notations and additional class notations have been created to cover the various military ship types and functions.

    Abstract

    Fourth edition This book describes the legal principles and case law decisions which are most relevant to the sale and purchase of second-hand ships. The objective of the book is to provide a working guide which may be of some practical use to those who become involved, commercially or professionally, in the business of making ship sale contacts and in the resolution of disputes arising from such contracts.

  • Ship stability in waves - the conditions of parametric roll arising and crankiness

    Authors

    I Boroday ; G Vilensky ; N Rakhmanin

    Date published

    2000

    Abstract

    Parametric roll can lead a ship into an unstable condition and it is therefore expedient to eliminate the possibility of it occurring at the design phase. Equations are presented for both the restoring moment of a rolling ship in waves and parametric roll. A process for obtaining safe ship navigation conditions at the design phase using these equations is outlined.

  • The harbour masters' role in improving safe ship operations

    The Nautical Institute

    Abstract

    Harbour masters have a limited influence with regard to improving safe ship operations. However there are some major areas at the ship/port interface that either can or need to be improved in order to enhance ship operation which can involve harbour masters. Work carried out so far by the European Harbour Masters' Association (EHMA) is explained and an overview of the work of the newly founded international association (IHMA) is given. The role of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) ship/port interface working group is also highlighted.

  • The role of advanced communications in ship engineering

    Authors

    J Torroja

    Date published

    1999

    Abstract

    The cycles of ship engineering and their ratings are explained. Communications problems increase with the amount of information to be handled. Therefore detail design receives the main focus here with to a much lower extent class design. Contract design is not important from the communications point of view. Shipbuilding CAD-CAE-CAM integrated systems are explored followed by the characteristics of integrated systems and the evolution of the ship engineering environment. Next ship engineering in Spain is considered. After this telecommunications in Spain and the PISTA initiative are discussed. Finally the future of ship engineering is considered.

    Abstract

    While the no-ballast water ship is possible a ship that uses 80% less ballast water is a more practical solution for builders and operators. The development of the Non-Ballast Water Ship (NOBS) designe undertaken as a part of Japanese national research project from 2003-2005 proved it possible for a vessel to operate safely without the use of ballast water.
