  • Energy savings and environmental benefits of stern flaps on navy ships

    Authors

    Dominic S Cusanelli ; Gabor Karafiath

    Date published

    2006

    Abstract

    The application of stern flaps to large combatant-sized Naval vessels is a fairly recent innovation. A stern flap is an extension of the hull's bottom surface which extends aft of the transom. It is a relatively small and inexpensive addition which reduces the power required to propel a ship through the water. The US Navy has been investigating the powering improvements due to stern flaps on many different types of ships. The flap design and performance is optimised for speeds at which the ship expends the most power thereby maximising the potential for propulsion fuel reduction. The US Navy has installed prototype stern flaps on three ships and conducted ship trials to assess their effect on ship powering performance. The concept is presented and described. The design selection and analysis of the stern flaps are considered and their application to the three ships is described. The estimated fuel saving s and decrease in exhaust gas emissions for these applications are summarised.

  • Fast ships - some propulsion machinery development vibration and noise considerations

    Abstract

    A look is taken at some propulsion vibration and noise related issues which face the designers of fast ships. The basis of much of this paper can be found in the many failure investigations conducted by Lloyd's Register's Technical Investigation Department and also in the design studies performed by that group. This is because the study of failure in the recent past is especially important in preventing design experience in rapidly developing areas of ship technology from out-reaching operational experience too greatly. First attention is directed to the propulsion of a new generation of large container ships. After this consideration is given to future passenger ship design.

  • Hydroelastic performance predictions for three ships

    Authors

    M Katory ; Chiu-Fai Liu

    Date published

    1992

    Abstract

    A numerical model is used to predict stress-maxima in the main hull girders of three ships during service. The model is based on the Bishop and Price theory of hydroelasticity which takes into account the effect of hull flexibility on the ship responses due to the action of sea waves. To calculate the various hydrodynamic-loading terms the Ursell-Tasai approach is adopted to describe the flow around the hull. The model considers short- term and long-term service duration and also incorporates probability and other statistical distributions. This enables the utilisation of published ocean wave and weather data allowing for predictions of ship behaviour during a storm or over long periods of the ship's life. Geometrical and structural properties of the three relatively new ships used in the analyses are presented. Predictions are compared with published results of calculations and full-scale measurements for other ships. When using sea spectra high-frequency short waves should not be neglected in the analysis otherwise predicted extreme stresses may be seriously underestimated.

  • Insights into past problems with marine pollution from cruise ships

    Authors

    D Hoff ; R Williamson

    Date published

    2002

    Abstract

    Pollution from cruise ships has been highly publicised and has generated major concerns among environmentalists and regulators alike. Most of the documented cases are accidents and the frequency of cases has declined in recent years; but continuing concern about gray water and sewage discharges as well as air pollution remains. The ability of the enforcement community to provide sufficient oversight and enforcement over marine pollution remains a serious question as well particularly in light of the recent focus on port security. New standards and research in a number of areas and additional oversight methods using available technology are considered. It is suggested that these may allay many of the existing concerns about the marine pollution from cruise ships.

  • New survey ships and systems for the Royal Navy

    Authors

    Date published

    2001

    Abstract

    Two new survey ships each carrying their own survey motorboat are currently being constructed for the Royal Navy. They will replace the current RN Survey Vessels and will collect and process hydrographic and oceanographic data for the Royal Navy and UK Hydrographic Office. An ISS (integrated survey system) will be included. The main operational requirements of the ships and their design is briefly described following by a fuller discussion of the ISS. Some of the new and innovative solutions are highlighted that are in the process of being implemented as part of the ISS as well as the integrated approach that has been taken to optimise the information gathering process and reduce the workload on the survey crew. In addition to the ship's systems training and post-processing systems have also been procured.
