Machinery installation on board ships is not all about lifting and mounting on to the foundation. In this article, we will take a general overview of five stages of marine machinery installation.
Naval Architecture
4 Types Of High Performance Marine Vehicles
Learn about some of the most widely used technologies in the field of high-performance marine vehicles, having higher speed ability than typical commercial ships.
Common Welding Methods And Weld Defects In Shipbuilding Industry
Learn about the main welding methods used in the shipbuilding industry and the common welding defects arising as a result.
Understanding Steering Gear in Ships
Steering Gear integrated with the rudder system defines the complete ‘turning mechanism’ mandatory for all types of ships. Learn about the design and construction of steering gears of ships inside the article.
Hull of a Ship – Understanding Design and Characteristics
Find out how the hull of a ship is designed for various factors taken into consideration during the entire lifetime of the ship, and how the design of a ship’s hull plays the most important role in the entire ship design and shipbuilding project.
Understanding Watertight Bulkheads In Ships: Construction and SOLAS Regulations
Watertight bulkheads are vertically designed watertight divisions/walls within the ship’s structure to avoid ingress of water in the compartment if the adjacent compartment is flooded due to damage in ship’s hull. Learn about the construction, design and SOLAS regulations for bulkheads in the article inside.
Understanding Ship Model Testing – Construction & Types Of Facilities
Learn how ship model testing is carried out and understand the purpose, construction process and types of testing facilities commonly used.
Understanding Different Types Of Manoeuvres of a Vessel -Part 2
This is the second part from our series – Different Types Of Manoeuvres of a Vessel. Learn about Zigzag Manoeuvre, Spiral Manoeuvre and Reverse Spiral inside the article.
Dry Docking of Ships – Understanding Stability And Docking Plan
Learn about the important aspects of dry docking of a ship, along with the calculations and analyses that go into creating docking plans and executing various aspects of ship stability.
Ship Stability: Damaged Stability of Ships
The study of damaged stability of a surface ship comes of use when the ship’s watertight hull is affected in a way that allows water to flood any compartment within the ship’s hull. Learn more about damaged stability of ship inside the article.
Ship Stability: Intact Stability Criteria and Inclining Experiment
Let’s take a look at intact stability criteria and inclining experiment, the two stages of ship design and construction where evaluation of GM is an absolute necessity and plays a major role in ensuring that the ship is stable.
Ship Stability – What Makes a Ship Unstable?
Learn about some major cases of instability in ships and different measures that should be taken in design and operational stages to prevent the same. Read more inside the article.
Ship Stability – Understanding Curves of Static Stability
The easiest and handiest tool for analysing a surface ship’s stability, is by graphs or curves. A ship designer or an officer on-board should be able to know the stability characteristics of a ship just by looking at the curves. Let’s understand curves of static stability of a vessel.
Ship Stability – Understanding Intact Stability of Ships
The fundamental concept behind the understanding of intact stability of a floating body is that of Equilibrium. Let’s take a look at different types of factors responsible for intact and damaged stability of a ship.
Understanding Different Types Of Manoeuvres of a Vessel
Manoeuvrability is defined as the inherent ability of a vessel to change its course/path. Understanding the factor of manoeuvrability of a vessel is extremely important to both ship designer or seafarer. Read more about different types Of manoeuvres of a vessel inside the article.
Ship Stability – Introduction to Hydrostatics and Stability of Surface Ships
The concept of hydrostatics and stability can be deemed as one of the most important areas of focus in ship design and operation, not only to ensure the safety of the ship, cargo, crew and passengers, but also to enable proper conditions for completion of all the processes on a ship.
Different Systems on a Naval Submarine
Though a typical diesel electric submarine would have more than 150 systems in all, lets take a look on the primary systems used on-board a naval submarine.
Understanding Structure Design of a Submarine
Approximately 40% of the focus and priority in the entire submarine design process is given to its structural design. The full process takes up majority of the time, as it is not only related to strength factors of submarine, but also to a nexus of functional aspects that are interrelated to it.
Submarine Design: Unique Tanks On a Submarine
Though some of the tanks used in a submarine are similar to that used on surface ships, most of them are different and unique to the nature of operation of a submarine, which makes it an important aspect to be studied in detail.
Understanding Stability of Submarine
Learn about the important aspects of submarine stability and the principles necessary to understand how a submarine works in the article inside.
Introduction to Submarine Design
In this first part of the submarine design series, we will learn about the design of naval submarines, familiarising ourselves with the design and functionalities of a submarine, its parts, general arrangement, structural design and arrangement, stability of a submarine, the systems used in a submarine, etc.
Understanding Design Of Bulk Carriers
Want to know how the design of different bulk carriers vary depending on the type of the cargo they carry and other important aspects? Read more about it inside the article.
Understanding The Design of Liquefied Gas Carriers
Want to know how the design of different types of gas carriers vary depending on the type of the cargo and membrane tanks? Read more about construction of gas ships inside the article.
Understanding Design Of Oil Tanker Ships
Want to know how the design of different oil tankers vary depending on the type of the cargo they carry? Read more about it inside the article.
