چکیده

Energy consumption and related emissions are the most important environmental effects of transport. This applies to all transport modes even though the contribution from waterborne transport in general is less severe than for instance from road transport. Also the environmental effects from waterborne traffic can be substantially reduced, but this will depend on, among other, better design methodologies and tools. Use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in the ship design process may help the designer to optimise a project concerning energy use over its entire life span. As part of “The Energy Efficient Ship”-project funded by the European Commission and a number of small and medium sized enterprises, a prototype ship design tool is developed. The purpose of the tool is to assist the designer in reducing not only the energy consumption during the entire life span of a ship, but also important environmental aspects. The tool is developed for design of fast ferries, containerships and fishing vessels. The paper presents the computer model including a case study demonstrating its use in design of a long lining fishing vessel. Environmental effects of alternative conceptual choices in the design phase will be demonstrated.

Implementing the most efficient sensor placement methods on the ship structural model

The damage and failure in engineering structures, especially offshore structures, and hull of ship structures, causes economic losses, human disasters, and environmental problems. Therefore, diagnosing and predicting the occurrence of failure in these structures is vital. In this situation, engineers have introduced the use of structural health monitoring operations as a suitable way to prevent...

Ship Design Using Heuristic Optimization Methods

Preliminary ship design is currently more art than science, heavily dependent on highly experienced naval architects. The use of genetic algorithms is proposed as a method for improving ship design through more effective exploration of the design space. Three main points are advanced in this paper. First, genetic algorithms (GA) are a highly effective tool for the exploration of large-scale, no...

Towards A Design Simulator For Offshore Ship Bridges

The development of new design concepts for ship bridges on modern offshore vessels is a considerable challenge for engineering and design professions. Such ships perform advanced missions in extreme environmental conditions that are very different to those in which most design processes take place. Although site visits can help narrow this gap, such opportunities are limited by both funding and...

Study of Parallel AC and DC Electrical Distribution in the All-Electric Ship

Medium-voltage DC electrical distribution is envisioned as a possible system for the warship of the future, bringing numerous advantages including a very power-dense architecture. This system takes the AC power produced by generators, immediately rectifies all power to DC and distributes it throughout the ship, requiring inversion back to AC for all AC loads. The question then arises whether it...
