Taking a brand new ship to sea for the first time is naturally quite an event after so many months of preparation and hard work, and the prevailing spirit is one of cheerful optimism, especially if the hopes of good weather have materialized. As soon as the trials party is assembled on board, the pilot, who has probably been waiting in the wheelhouse for some time, orders the gangway

The complete electrical plant on board ship is made up of power generation equipment, a distribution system and the many power utilising devices. Electricity is used for the motor drive of equipment. A constant supply of electricity is essend:lighting ventilation and air conditioning

The sophistication of modern control systems and the reliability of the equipment used have resulted in machinery spaces remaining unattended for long periods. In order to ensure the safety of the ship and its equipment during UMS operation certain ess certain essential requirements must be met:

Template Structures By far the most common type of fixed offshore structure in existence today is the template, or substructure that extends from the seafloor to above the water surface and a prefabricated steel deck located atop the substructure. The deck is supported by pipe piles driven through the legs of the substructure into the seafloor. These piles not

The general approach Earlier Parts have given a broad picture of the economic environment within which marine transport operates, and the mechanics of making economic calculations. Ship design links the two, i.e., the marine transport requirements must be developed into a series of feasible ship designs

Before studying in detail the various technical branches of naval architecture it is important to define chapters. The purpose of this chapter is to explain these terms and to familiarise the reader with them. In the first place the dimensions by which the size of a ship is measured will be considered; they are referred to as 'principal

The design of a ship involves a selection of the features of form, size, proportions, and other factors which are open to choice, in combination with those features which are imposed by circumstances beyond the control of the design naval architect. Each new ship should do some

The outside surface of a ship is the surface of a solid with curvature in two directions. The curves which express this surface are not in general given by mathematical expressions, although attempts have been made from time to time to express the surface mathematically. It is necessary

The power required to propel a new ship is subject to a formidable number of variable items. The family tree of power for propulsion (Fig. 1) shows these divided into two main groups. One is concerned with the resistance to motion caused by the interaction of the hull of the ship with the surrounding water
