Objective of the course is to provide an understanding of the processes, methods, and requirements of practical ship design. Understanding the role of ship designer within lifecycle of shipbuilding acts as a starting point of the course.
Core of the course entails the development of a conceptual design in order to fulfil contractor requirements while taking in account relevant regulations. The process includes sizing of main dimensions, power and propulsion, hull shape and cargo arrangement to fit missions requirements. Preliminary calculations are then conducted to assess weight/displacement, structural resistance, fuel consumption, seaworthiness and stability. Further evaluation takes in account safety and environmental risks. Building cost and vessel operating costs are then estimated.
Project management techniques are highlighted throughout the entire course.
A preliminary ship design exercise allows participants to practice course learnings.
