A skeg is a vertical tapering projection or an external structural feature at the aft of the vessel, about the centreline, directly attached to the vessel’s bottom shell plating, and mostly, but not necessarily, situated in front of the rudder.
Thrust can be defined as the propulsive force that drives the vessel through the water against the resistive forces, mostly hydrodynamic. Find out more in the article inside.
Do you know what the stopping distance of a ship at sea is? Let’s find out about it and its importance in the article inside.
Hovercrafts are one of the greatest maritime inventions. This article will delve into the reality of hovercrafts and how they work.
Hull speed can alternatively be described as the maximum speed at which the vessel continues to accelerate or surge without facing significant losses or expenses in power.Â
The part of the stem line above the waterline is defined as the prow. This prow also is, geometrically, the curve which closes the space of the hull volume.
The steering gear system is an indispensable part of any vessel. One very important component of a typical electro-hydraulic system is the hunting gear mechanism. Let’s find out more about the hunting gear mechanism on ships.
Steel coils are usually shipped in bulk and stowed accordingly onto the vessel’s designated cargo holds. These steel coils weigh around 40-50 tons. Let us understand how they are loaded onto ships.
