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.
Let’s take a look at the final processes of the shipbuilding process followed by launching, outfitting and sea trials.
Lets take a look at categories of vibration on board ships, the basis of their categorisation, an insight on the origin of each type of vibration, and design techniques adopted to prevent them.
An anchor chain refers to the component that attaches the anchor to the vessel or marine structure and is usually referred to as the anchor rode (or anchor cable). Find out more about anchor chain inside the article.
Learn about ten important regulations to be followed during ship construction in this article. The first 7 regulations correspond to bulk carriers and oil tankers and the rest for liquified chemical tankers in bulk.
Learn more about sea-fastening of cargo on a ship and find out how different forces acting on deck cargo of a ship are calculated.
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.
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.
