Metacentric Height of centre of gravity of ship is determined during the time of construction of the ship and which plays an important role in setting the loading capacity and stability of the ship. Know how meta centric height of a ship is found out
Ship’s bottom structure is designed not only to give the required strength to withstand the weight of the cargo but also to resist the external hydrostatic loads that act on the bottom of the hull. Learn about the various important aspects that are considered while designing ship’s bottom structure.
The design of a ship hull is based on the specific geometric definition of a hull which influences the hydrostatics, general arrangement, strength and aesthetics of the vessel. Learn about some common methods used to design ship’s hull.
Get a general overview on the process of designing a ship’s general arrangement according to requirements of the owner and functionality of the ship.
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.
One of the most important stages of a ship design process is the estimation, calculation and optimisation of a ship’s power requirements.
Learn about fifteen important advantages of the advanced outfitting shipbuilding method for the modern shipyards.
Shipyards that implement advanced outfitting have special facilities required to allow this method to be applied efficiently, in order to obtain maximum benefits.
An abrupt change in shape or cross-section of ship’s structure is known as structural discontinuity. Learn about different types of structural discontinuities in ship’s structure and various design methodologies used to reduce their effects.
