An integrated system for the optimisation of ship line is presented. The system is called SHLIS and can provide almost all kinds of excellent ship line and accurate ship speed predictions. SHLIS is made up of three parts: SHLDATA is a newly developed database system for models and ships' parameters and test results; SHLMAIN is a rapidity performance prediction program including ship's performance-estimation method and model-ship correlation method two aspects; NUBLINE is a professional software for ship line design.

This volume includes Parts 1 and 2 on flow phenomena and motion of the simple ship and flow around and motion of an actual ship, covering topics such as liquids and liquid flow, eddying and cavitation, wavemaking, elements of the wake, forces involved in stead straight-line ship motion, hydrofoils, propellers and thrust, the influence of the general shape of the underwater hull, the running attitude of the ship and its effect upon performance, and the behaviour of planing craft.

This guide aims to contribute to the shipping industry by providing detailed information on eco-efficiency technologies. The chapters are divided into five technical topics: ship design, propulsion, machinery, strategies and scrubbers. Chapters on IMO’s work on ship efficiency, ship emission regulations are also provided.

In the 20 years since China's reform their shipbuilding industry has achieved rapid development and has been the third largest shipbuilding country in the world for seven successive years in terms of output. CSIC (China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation) is one of the largest shipbuilding and ship repairing groups in China. The Corporation is described. CSIC has ten shipbuilding and ship repairing enterprises. Faced with China's accession to the WTO and fiercer competition of the shipbuilding industry both at home and abroad CSIC has put forward two major strategic goals for the new period. The first is to further strengthen and develop their production of military products to become the strongest and largest ship and equipment supplier to the Chinese Navy. The second is to further enhance their ship design and construction level to become the leading force within the Chinese shipbuilding industry. The work to be concentrated upon within these goals is identified as follows: to increase technical transformation investment in order to expand their shipbuilding and ship repairing capability; to bring into play their R and D superiority to enhance their core competitive power; and to practise advanced scientific management mode to realise innovation in management.

This paper discusses the development of an interactive 3D graphical interface myShipVI which provides a simple and intuitive method to access integrated ship data through a first person perspective interface similar to some computer games. 2D drawings and/or a 3D CAD ship model provide the user with an accurate spatial rendering of the ship. The result is a "virtual interface" to the ship allowing the user to move through the virtual ship and retrieve information via point and click. Once the user touches a specific component or piece of equipment the interface displays key data and list of related document links. Documents can then be viewed by simply clicking on the links. Further information can be obtained or other actions triggered by clicking selected buttons in the interface. The user can also navigate quickly using a product tree or 2D overlay of the ship. myShipVI is implemented as a web application using off-the-shelf hardware and software to access ship models data and documents on the server.

Navy ships generate substantial amounts of waste. The shipboard management of these wastes must take into account environmental laws and regulations around the world ship design constraints mission and deployment scenarios crew health and safety and a wide range of costs. Following the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations' vision for the environmentally sound ship of the 21st century (ESS-21) the NSSC's ship research and development group plans and directs the Shipboard Waste Management RDT & E Program. This program has as its goal the development of shipboard equipment systems and procedures to manage ship wastes in compliance with existing and anticipated environmental restrictions worldwide without jeopardising ship mission survivability or habitability and to minimise the cost of Fleet environmental compliance. Current RDT & E efforts focus on ozone depleting substances solid wastes liquid wastes hazardous materials and pollution prevention paints and coatings oil spill response and protected marine animals. Shipboard solutions encompass equipment for back-fit into existing ships where practicable and ship-wide systems and practices for integration into new ship designs.

This new code has been drawn up in response to the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 and the perceived risks to ships and the danger of ships being used for terrorist purposes. This publication looks at the new SOLAS regulations and International Ship and Port Facility (ISPS) Code, giving a summary of requirements. Section A covers ship modifications and additional carriage requirements; Section B covers shipping company responsibilities; Section C looks at documentary and information requirements for ships; Section D looks at the ISPS Code in operation - compliance and control; Section E covers the obligations of contracting governments; and Section F gives a summary of requirements for ports.

A RANS (Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes) numerical method has been used in conjunction with a chimera domain decomposition approach to compute the effects of multiple moving ships in a channel on a ship moored next to a pier. For the simulation of ship-ship interactions it is convenient to construct body-fitted numerical grids for each ship and the navigation channel separately. The numerical grids for the passing ships are allowed to move relative to the moored vessel. More than 40 time-domain simulations were carried out parametrically for different ship types wharf line distances ship speeds and wind directions that are manifested in ship crabbing angles. The results of these computations were systematically organised and compared to investigate the ship speed effect wind direction effect wharf line distance effect ship type effect ship sheltering effect while there are more than two ships in the channel bottom clearance effect and the open water effect.

The aim of ship design should be to reach an optimal design from both the ship owner's and the shipyard's point of view. Ships are designed in a complex process run by many experts working in various departments in different companies. A lot of expertise and a vast amount of knowledge is required together with powerful analysis functions in order to reach a successful design at the end of the process. On one hand there are very many relations in the design process as a ship is one integrated entity where almost any changes in the design will influence the other aspects. On the other hand the amount of information handled in the design process is fairly large due to the complexity of ships. This paper discusses the use of a 3D ship product model for integrating the ship design process and various stakeholders during the design approval construction and operation of ships and offshore structures. The aim should be the total design optimisation considering also a new marine business environment.
