Naval Architecture

Naval architecture deals with the design and construction of floating vessels (and also submerged ones) and takes into account a wide variety of aspects.

Ship design is a convoluted process that involves multiple steps before the construction and fabrication work is commenced. Read along to know more.

Ships sailing at sea are subjected to a large number of forces in all directions which leads to different types of ship motions. Let’s understand and carefully analyse the various motions of a ship.

The United States is home to the largest and finest shipyards in the world, enabling the construction of the sturdiest and most seaworthy vessels. Check out major shipyards of US in this article.

A lot of marine accidents involving failure of the ship hull structures occurs because of a crack in the midship region or a total split-off of the hull girder. This article gives an insight into the causes that lead to the failure of the ship’s hull girder from a longitudinal strength point of view.

What do you mean by displacement of a ship? When speaking on a mass scale, the weight of this displaced water volume equal to the physical weight of the body (measured quantitatively as mass) is known as mass displacement. Lets find out more about displacement inside the article.

To perform a Draft Survey, it’s essential first to determine the correct draft to enter into the Hydrostatic Tables. But what exactly is this draft….

The fine hull form is the foremost characteristic of all cruise vessels, irrespective of operations and size. In this article, we will explore the basics of hull design of cruise ships.

Optimized hull designs of ballast-free ships can lead to significant reductions in fuel consumption, directly impacting the maritime industry’s carbon footprint. However, challenges remain, such as the need for further cost reduction and infrastructure development to support these innovative vessels.
