The fact that the 'diesel turbine' doesn't seem to exist is one factor which limits their popularity. :D
It doesn't matter if the oxygen is removed due to corrosion or if the oxygen is not there because it has been replaced by nitrogen - it's a...
A ship of 150 m length is only of modest size nowadays. Large tankers can run a minimum of 250 m and container ships are being built which are...
MSC.281(85) is titled "Explanatory Notes to the SOLAS Chapter II-1 Subdivision and Damage Stability Regulations". These notes are intended to...
In the Scilly Isles, no doubt. :D
Don't believe everything you read in a book. Further, how is righting moment defined for a particular loading condition? Does the righting...
Jeez, why is it so difficult just to plot your hull? A plot would probably answer all outstanding questions about what went wrong.
DNV-GL uses a more complex stiffener model than ABS does. I don't know about Lloyd's or the ISO. Wood is tricky to analyze unless you are...
I think you would use the width be + w, unless the spacing of the hat sections makes a shorter width. That's what the ABS Rules for Yachts...
It's not clear what you mean by the term 'width of the base of the reinforcement'. Most stiffener-plate combinations have two elements, like a...
Who knows? You can't be sure unless you make a plot of the hull. There are too many things wrong with the output for it to be a simple mistake.
KMT is negative becuz KB is way negative and BMT is tiny. LCB is approx. equal to LWL ?!? You have both block and prismatic coefficients >> 1...
It's not clear how this pool is arranged. Is it recessed into the deck? Is it built on top of the deck? The strength of hatchways, etc. is...
You can start with MARPOL. There may be relevant sections in SOLAS, but I can't recommend anything specific because all you have disclosed is...
It depends on where the barge is operating and what type of products it is carrying. You'll have to check IMO/SOLAS regulations, MARPOL, and any...
There's nothing in the CFR or the USCG Desk Drawer that I am aware of which specifies a maximum pitch or roll rate for a passenger craft. The...
This isn't a cruise ship. I don't think there's many 'windows' to leave open.
Now, you're trying to classify the weights of different items found on a boat into separate groups, like what is structure, what is mooring...
That's the $64 question, isn't it? First, there was the Cougar Ace off Alaska, which took a sudden list in 2006. Then, there was the Hoegh...
Some salvage guys might have training as engineers, but in my experience, the guys on site are usually mariners with many years of practical...
