• Shipbuilding, Semester 3, position 1

Ship Design is a course that integrates all the knowledge of naval architecture and shipbuilding that a student has acquired during their studies. The goal is for the student, through classes and an independent project, to master the basic knowledge and skills of ship design and international regulations in shipbuilding, including their origin, development, and particularly their impact on ship design. The course also includes a critical analysis of existing regulations and methods applied in ship design.

Through classes and an independent project, student will master basic knowledge and skills of ship design and international regulations in shipbuilding, becoming familiar with their development and impact on safety, environment, and design process. They will be capable of applying comprehensive knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural sciences, and engineering principles to solve complex problems, with a critical awareness of the broader engineering context. The student will be able to formulate and analyze complex problems, assess available data, and use engineering reasoning to work with uncertain or incomplete information, know how to select and apply appropriate computational and analytical techniques for modeling complex problems, considering limitations of applied techniques and recommendations. The student will be able to critically evaluate technical literature and other sources of information to solve complex problems, to design solutions for complex problems that demonstrate originality and meet social, user, business, and client requirements, considering health, safety, diversity, inclusion, cultural, social, environmental, and commercial issues. The student will apply an integrated or systemic approach to solving complex problems, will be able to evaluate the impact of solutions to complex problems on the environment and society and minimize their negative impacts. The student will identify and analyze ethical issues and make reasonable ethical choices based on professional codes of conduct. They will be able to select and apply appropriate materials, equipment, engineering technologies, and processes, considering their limitations. The student will effectively function as an individual, a member or leader of a team, and will evaluate the effectiveness of their own and team performance. They will be able to effectively communicate complex engineering issues to technical and non-technical audiences, assessing the effectiveness of the methods used.

Basic principles of ship design. Rules, regulations, and conventions in the design, construction, and operation of ships. Types of regulations. Rules of classification societies, international conventions, national regulations. Deterministic regulations. Probabilistic regulations. The design spiral. Weight, volume and area‐based design. Weight groups. Statistic data on existing ships. Statistic data and prototype‐based design. Statistics‐based ship design: Formulas for main dimensions and their interrelations, ship‐form coefficients, weight groups, centre of mass, power prediction. Effects of ship’s dimensions and ship form on stability, resistance, strength, maneuvering and seakeeping. Ship calculations in the first approximation. Ship calculations in the second approximation. Design based on prototype: The choice of the prototype. Main dimensions, form coefficients, weight groups, centre of mass, power prediction. Lines drawing. General arrangement plan. Other technical documentation. Specifics in cargo ships design (multipurpose ships, container ships, bulk carriers, tankers), passenger ships, naval ship etc. Specifics in inland vessels design.

Practical problems of ship design, illustrating the subjects lectured in theoretical syllabus. In addition, students have to develop individually the project of a cargo ship (preliminary ship design of a container ship, bulk carrier, multipurpose ship or a tanker), with all the necessary calculations, plans (including the general arrangement) and the technical documentation. Practical examples and application of regulations covered in theoretical syllabus. Some specifics of the regulations. Analysis of the impact of regulations on ship safety, the environment, and the design process.

Exams passed in Buoyancy and Stability of Ship 2, Ship Resistance, Ship Propulsion, Ship Structures 2.
