Ship design

• describe all common ship types and their technical characteristics as functions of their mission,
• explain all the most important rules and regulations that apply to the arrangement and equipment of ships,
• describe the arrangement of a ship and the different systems on board,
• from a naval architect’s point of view outline the different types of operations, such as anchoring, mooring, cargo handling and fire fighting,
• do calculations (with commercial computer programs) of stability, loading conditions and propulsion,
• do calcuations of (specific) energy consumption, smoke emissions and energy efficiency design index (EEDI),
• describe the process of ship design,
• design a ship,
• draw a general arrangement plan to a professional standard,
• write a technical report with main body report, outline specification, general arrangement plan and appendices.

Ship owner, shipping, ship types, main dimensions, hull lines, general arrangement, propulsion, loading conditions, hydrostatics, intact and damage stability, international and national rules and regulations, environmental protection including energy efficiency design index (EEDI), machinery, aesthetics.
The subjects are treated by application of methods within hydromechanics and CAD/CAE.
The methods learned are applied in the design of a ship to given ship owner’s specification. Commercial CAD/CAE programs are applied including dedicated programs for hydrostatic and hydrodynamic analyses of ship hulls.
