The concept of presenting information in graphical format is not new. A number of early examples of data visualisation exist from the eighteenth century; most notably the depiction of the deck layout of the British slave ship Brookes in 17882. This information poster (see figure 1) depicted views of the reprehensible living conditions suffered by slaves during their voyage to the colonies and w...

Ex-Surgeon-Superintendent of the Emigrant-ship " Canada Jankie, a Hindoo girl, aged 18 years, was admitted on the 9th July with fracture of both bones of the right leg and a lacerated wound at the posterior part of the ankle.' The accident was caused by a fall from the top of the ladder on to the 'tween deck-?a height of about 12 feet?whilst going down below during a heavy squall in the Bay of ...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the frequency, circumstances, and causes of occupational accidents aboard merchant ships in international trade, and to identify risk factors for the occurrence of occupational accidents as well as dangerous working situations where possible preventive measures may be initiated. METHODS The study is a historical follow up on occupational accidents among crew aboard D...

This paper investigates the induced stresses in circular single deck roofs floating on seismically excited storage tanks. Equations of motion are derived using variational principle. Response of deck floating roofs is evaluated for two different classes of ground motions; near-source and long-period far-field records. Besides time histories and frequency contents for a specific tank, peak value...

In recent years, the waterway navigation and transportation industry has been developing rapidly, living environment of ship cabins not received much attention. Using questionnaire surveys, data collection computer simulations, this study explored problems causes related to thermal comfort that affect a crew onboard. The survey showed differences in sensations crew. Cabins below deck are usuall...

Wind-assisted propulsion (WASP) is one of the most promising ship alternatives that radically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and are available today. Using example a RoPax ferry, this study presents performance potential WASP systems under realistic weather conditions. Different design system layouts discussed. Further, uncertainties in prediction analyzed. Included analysis sail forces as wel...
