Course Content / Syllabus

Ship design: Factors affecting the calculation of the main dimensions of a ship and hull- form coefficients. Ship hull form: Distribution of displacement, Form of waterlines, Form of sections, Form of Bow and Stern, Design based on systematic Ship Hull Form Series. Introduction to ship hull optimization: Parametric geometric ship design, optimization methods, multi-objective optimization, Pareto surfaces, applications. International Conventions: SOLAS: Regulations on damage stability, Lifesaving appliances, Fire fighting. MARPOL: Annex I: Regulations for the prevention of pollution by oil. Tonnage measurement of ships. In the context of the course, the students, in small groups of two persons maximum, undertake the responsibility to study and present in the class a research paper on ship design optimization. Moreover, each student has to compile a study on life-saving appliances and the tonnage measurement of a ship.
