History of Maritime Technology

...technologies that first made this possible have evolved in amazing ways. Of the many that enabled the success of maritime travel, the most influential include advancements in hull design, propulsion, and navigation technology. From the earliest attempts at crossing large bodies of water, the first major obstacle has been the design and construction of a vessel which is capable of doing so. Shipbuilding is the combination of structural components that together make a fully capable vessel. The major component of enabling a boat to float on water is the hull. The hull of a ship or boat is often considered analogous to the foundation of a building. It is a well-known fact that the strength of any structure is only as good as its foundation and the same is true of the hull of a boat. As stated in Design of Ship Hull Structures, “The most important duty of the hull structure design is to supply a strong enough hull structure against the internal and external loads” (Okumoto, 2009, p. v). There are many different types of hull designs, each of which is engineered specifically for the type of work the vessel is intended to do. Major aspects of the design include shape...

Paper on Bangladesh

...craftsmanship in boat building over many centuries and transferred this artistic skill to subsequent generations across different cluster of population. Historical records say that Chittagong port was the best centre of building ocean-going vessels in the middle of the 15th century. Even in the 17th century, the entire fleet of ships of the Sultan of Turkey was built at Chittagong. Also in 1805, the British Navy built ships at Chittagong for the famous battle of Trafalgar. However, with the passage of time, the glory of shipbuilding in this region began to fade. Shipbuilding revived again when a number of local entrepreneurs of Bangladesh brought name and fame for the country by developing potential in shipbuilding by handing over some ocean-going vessels to overseas buyers from Denmark, Finland and Mozambique. Bangladeshi shipbuilders have also handed over few ice-class vessels to a German company and more vessels are going to be delivered by the next few years. Thus shipbuilding in Bangladesh is marching forward in a way to securing a firm position in the world market and at the same time, the country is returning slowly to its past tradition of building ships for foreign countries. Some leading local shipyards like Ananda and Western Marine are now engaged in building over 40 small to medium category vessels worth about $0.6 billion, mainly for European buyers.

Prospects of Ship Building Industry in Bangladesh

...Proceedings of MARTEC 2010 The International Conference on Marine Technology 11-12 December 2010, BUET, Dhaka, Bangladesh STUDY ON SOME COMPETITIVE PARAMETERS FOR SHIPBUILDING INDUSTRY IN BANGLADESH N. M. Golam Zakaria, M.M. Rahaman and Kh. Akhter Hossain Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka, Bangladesh gzakaria@name.buet.ac.bd ABSTRACT Despite Bangladesh has glorious history & heritage as a shipbuilding nation since ancient time, shipbuilding has been in focus only from the last couple of years. The optimism about this industry arose from the success attained by a number of local entrepreneurs who brought the name and fame to Bangladesh as a country with great potentials in shipbuilding by building and handing over some ocean-going vessels to overseas buyers. Since then, the shipbuilding in Bangladesh did not have to look back and now new opportunities are knocking at the door to flourish this industry further. However, due to global nature of this industry, an assessment of suitability to modern shipbuilding in terms of global standard is of prime importance. This paper focuses on studying some crucial competitive factors like labour skill, labour availability, labour man-hour, labour cost & productivity for local shipbuilding which are the inherent part for expansion of this industry. The analysis also focuses on the existing access to the resources like materials, knowledge and capital for shipbuilding...

A flag of convenience is when a company for example based in the United States, establishes a tiny office in another state, Mongolia, the largest landlocked country in the world, for example, and uses that office to register their ships in that country thereby allowing them to fly that countries flag. Under international maritime law, your vessel is subject to the laws of the nation it is registered in. States like the United States have strict laws governing vessels flying their flag of course in ranging from safety standards, to environmental standards, and all applicable laws of the host nation so anything illegal in the US would be illegal on a US ship even in international waters.

Marine Environmental Impact and Energy Use

...emissions. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) predicts a 250 percent rise in emission levels as a result of expanding sea transport, if suitable energy efficiency policies are not implemented. Yet legislation has in many respects by-passed the shipping sector as reflected by its exclusion from international agreements such as the Kyoto protocol. Even though shipping is recognised as the cleanest form of transporting goods, with the least damage per tonne of cargo, ship exhaust emissions are regarded as the industry's biggest polluter. So although the marine industry has consistently resisted taking any significant measures to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, it now looks like it will finally bow to pressure, as many governments now want to include shipping in future agreements. As such IMO is implementing, by 2015, new sulphur emission targets for marine fuel oil. IMO has also demonstrated a potential to reduce CO2 emissions by 25 to 75 percent for newbuilds, as well as for ships already operational, simply through an increased focus on energy efficiency.

Break Bulk Cargo

...Break Bulk Cargo Cargo that is too big or too heavy to be loaded onto a flat rack container can be loaded directly onto the vessel. These are known as Break Bulk Cargoes. On Deck Stowage Cargo such as ships that are too large to be loaded into the hold and are not damaged by water can be directly loaded on deck. On rare occasions, cargo can be stowed directly atop the hatch covers. Under Deck Stowage Usually empty flat rack containers are stacked in the second or third tier from the top side-by-side in the hold and cargo is loaded on top of these. One of NYK's many strong points is the long years of experience which has built up in the safe stowage of cargo such as in dispersing loads and securing. The size of holds depends on the vessel. Just as an example, when 40 foot flat rack containers are lined up in groups of four it is possible to make effective use of a 40' x 32' space. Heavy cargo that exceeds the weight restriction on gantry cranes is handled by floating cranes. Since direct loading and direct delivery are the rule in such cases, loading and unloading are coordinated with the vessel's cargo handling schedule. Therefore it is necessary to fully coordinate matters with all concerned beforehand. In shipping the term Break bulk derives from the phrase breaking bulk  Break bulk products are mainly steel, lumber and wood. Before containers, goods were shipped in individual boxes, barrels, bales, bags, crates and many other methods of enclosing...

The Effects of Gadgets in G-10 Students

...Crosscuve of stability process Scantling When a new ship is designed, one of the primary steps involved in the development of the concept, is designing its General Arrangement and allocating proper spaces according to the requirements of the owner and functionality of the ship. It is up to the naval architect to decide on the ship’s general arrangement, depending on many design constraints that are mentioned in the technical specifications of the contract. Since almost all ships have something unique in their general arrangement, there is no specific procedure with rules stated for the same. But in spite of that, a naval architect needs to know the basic procedure to follow in order to come down to an optimum design. In this article, we shall discuss a general procedure that is followed in the ship designing industry. The General Arrangement, or GA as it is commonly called, is a drawing created by a naval architect. The purpose of this drawing is for space allocation, to ensure that everything that an owner wants in a vessel will actually fit. The GA consists of (at a minimum) a plan view of each major deck of the vessel, shows all of the watertight and structural bulkheads, as well as joiner bulkheads. All of the furniture is typically shown or in early stages the furniture and large items to be on the vessel are roughly blocked in. Passageways, stairwells and all equipment vital to the ships operation are shown. The ship spaces  Some considerations for arrangement drawings...
