Single hull and double hull tankers have several differences between them. However, there are both positive and negative aspects of both single hull and double hull designs.
Let’s take a look at the Flettner rotors, the driving physical concepts, and ships that use this form of propulsion and stabilization.
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.
Learn about the different types of factors that are taken into consideration while designing ice class vessels.
We are familiar with the form of ship propeller, but have we ever contemplated upon their shape, appearance and typical geometry? Let’s find out inside the article.
A propeller is a rotating fan like structure which is used to propel the ship by using the power generated and transmitted by the main engine of the ship. Propellers are be classified on the basis of several factors. Find out more inside the article.
