Course Objectives:
Provide the students with the basic knowledge required to maintain sea worthiness of the ship by getting a general knowledge about the principal ship structural members, the names for the various parts and some applications of ship stability.
Course Description:
Ship Construction
Some ship terminologies, Materials used in ship construction, Standard steel sections, Framing Systems, Double bottom structure, Bilge keels, Bulkheads (stiffened and corrugated), Fore peak structure, Aft peak structure. General arrangement of general cargo, tankers, bulk carries, container, Ro-Ro and passenger. Classification societies and its role in the design, building and operation of ships.
Naval Architecture
Ship principal dimensions. Ship geometry and arrangement. Principles of floatation. Archimedes principle, Displacement (D), Deadweight, Coefficient of form, Tonnes Per Centimeter Immersion (TPC). Calculation of area, volume, first moment and second moments of area using Simpson’s first rule. Center of gravity. Introduction to transverse stability at small angle of inclination. Inclining experiment.
Practical:
Field visit to a floating dry dock in order to familiarize students with the various ship parts.
Expected Learning Outcomes:
On completion of this course students will be able to identify clearly the different types of merchant ships and understand the nature of ship stability.
