The objective of the course is to provide students with advanced knowledge of ship systems and ship equipment, including their purpose, operating principles, technical characteristics, and their role in ensuring the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of ships. Students will develop competencies in the calculation, selection, integration, and design of ship systems and equipment through the application of engineering principles, modern analytical and computational methods, as well as relevant international regulations, conventions, and classification society rules. Particular emphasis is placed on the analysis and design of ship piping systems, the selection and arrangement of equipment on different ship types, and the understanding of their impact on the functionality, safety, and operational performance of vessels.

The learning outcome of the course is the acquisition of advanced knowledge of ship systems and ship equipment, including their characteristics, operating principles, calculation methods, selection, and integration within the ship design process. Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to apply knowledge of mathematics, fluid mechanics, natural and engineering sciences, as well as engineering principles, to solve complex problems in the field of ship systems and equipment. The student will be capable of analyzing the functional requirements of ship systems and equipment depending on the ship type and operational purpose, formulating technical requirements in accordance with applicable regulations, conventions, and classification society rules, and critically evaluating alternative technical solutions. The student will be able to perform calculations of the main parameters of ship piping systems, select appropriate equipment, and apply analytical and computational methods to engineering problems. Upon completion of the course, the student will be familiar with the main characteristics of the most common types of seagoing displacement vessels and will understand the influence of ship systems and equipment on vessel functionality, safety, reliability, and operational efficiency. The student will also be able to use technical literature, standards, manufacturers’ catalogues, and other relevant sources of information, as well as to select, integrate, and arrange ship systems and equipment while taking into account their intended purpose, technical limitations, crew safety, and project requirements.

Ship piping systems: pressure diagram, piping characteristics, characteristics of marine pumps, joint operation of pumps and a piping, suction head problems. Piping armature. Types of marine pumps. Individual ship systems: Bilge system, emergency system, rescue system; Ballast system; Heeling and trim system; Sanitary systems: system of fresh and sea water, system of waste water. Drainage system. Tanker systems: cargo system, stripping system, tank ventilation, tank cleaning, cargo circulation, cargo heating system. MARPOL Regulations. Firefighting systems: fire detection, fire‐fighting systems (water, inert gases, foam, halons). In short, the course is focused on the following teaching units: 1) Most common types of marine displacement ships, 2) Deck equipment (anchoring equipment, mooring equipment, and steering gear), 3) Cargo handling equipment (vertical and horizontal handling, ship cranes), and 4) Safety equipment (life-saving equipment, navigation and signalling equipment). The course gains significance because certain types of ships primarily differ from each other based on the installed equipment. The installed equipment significantly impacts the functionality of the ship, as well as its costs. On the other hand, ship equipment is often not manufactured in shipyards but is purchased from specialized manufacturers, which significantly affects the content of the subject. Within the subject, special attention is dedicated to regulations (rules of classification societies, resolutions, and conventions) that define the requirements which ship equipment must meet.

Principle design and calculations of various ship piping and pumping systems. Practical examples of ship systems, illustrating the subjects lectured in theoretical syllabus. Greater emphasis is placed on direct interaction with students within the practical part of the teaching. The focus is on applying knowledge necessary for everyday engineering practice, previously presented in theoretical teaching. Special attention is given to the rules of classification societies related to ship equipment. Through brochures provided by leading manufacturers of ship equipment, students are familiarized with the technical characteristics and installation specifics of the equipment, depending on the type of ship.
