Notes For General Introductory Information.

This document provides information about reference books on ship design, the syllabus for a ship design course, types of ocean going vessels of various sizes, and factors to consider in ship design projects. It discusses principles of naval architecture books, ship design methods, parameters like displacement and dimensions, hull form design, general arrangement, and performance factors like stability, resistance, and propulsion. It also covers cargo handling, anchoring, accommodation requirements, and tender specifications. Climate change impacts on increasing wave heights and its implications for ship design are noted. Restrictions of various waterways on ship sizes are listed.

Any floating body intended for forward motion and maneuvering (transportation of goods and ferrying people) can
be of any size as per an owner’s requirement. We have inland waters, lakes, rivers and seas. The design meant for
operation the seas need much more strength than the case of others.

We will discuss some more points towards the ship design in coming sessions. When discuss waves, it is seen that
heights are much more than usually seen. Beaufort of scale of sea states(0-8, Wave heights and wind speeds are
given) are used to find out the calmness or roughness of the waves. Though less probable, what is the reason for
extreme waves in the recent past. (Some call such waves’ rogue waves’).

Let us have some more discussion about climate change and wave height increase. Due to temperature rise
glaciers are melting and that water is flown to the seas. There is rise of sea water level. When it evaporates there is
chance of wind due to density difference in waters say above the land and above the seas. This causes wind which
generates waves. The rogue/extreme waves are generated, of course with less probability. But the wave is an
unusual one with more height. You might be knowing that wave energy is in proportion to the square of wave
heights. Now we have to design ship taking into account of this. Ship will break into two pieces like a chalk we use
in our class. Or ship will capsize. The former is a strength problem and later is hull-stability issue. In design we have
to consider both. Failure of container ships is another issue. We have to keep in mind all these while study ship
design. Ships are designed as slender bodies, means length is much more compared to breadth.
Each unit of increase in wave height we have to increase the section modulus( will explain later) of the midship . It
will be more expensive to counter the extreme waves by designing the ship with more material.

Above the load waterline the hull and superstructures are exposed to wing which heels the ship. The combination
with waves make the scenario complicated and make gut lead to failures, loss of ship, mentioned earlier. Some
points will be elaborated further using sketches.

Restrictions on waterways limits size of ships.

Panama canal

Suez Canal

Saint Lawrence seaways


Malacca Strait etc.

A new project depends on many factors. What is available around in terms of technology to builds ship, skilled
manpower, infrastructure, water front, climate over the waterfront area etc. A total marine environment is in
need. What is in demand as goods to the nearby countries port. The owner will make profit by transporting the

goods.
