... The preliminary design phase of a ship acquisition program offers an overwhelming number of possible design configurations of which only a small number can be thoroughly developed by an experienced design team. This creates serious program risks, particularly when designing a ship...

... This paper addresses some of the wider issues in the design process for complex vessels with regards in particular to the design of naval ships and submarines. The presentation is given from the perspective of a British naval constructor, who spent the second half of his career teaching...

.... The Golden Ray is an example of a vessel design that was pushed to the limits of what is capable for ROROs, only to fail due to the complex nature of simultaneously meeting the loading criteria and keeping the vessel upright in a dynamic operating environment. Historically, naval architects have attempted...

... This paper describes the benefits of cost reduction and improved schedule attainment by adding digitized regulatory structural rules and contract specification requirements to the 3D design model through Knowledge Provisioning. detail design model use case requirement structural...

... Research has been conductued to explore the feasibility of applying new and emerging technologies to the shipbuilding industry. The goal of this paper is to assess whether problems in design, construction and operation of a vessel can be addressed with the adoption of existing technologies...

... Is your passive fire/flood protection system too passive? Cable & Pipe penetration sealing systems are designed to keep fire, toxic gasses, and flooding in the space they originated in, allowing the vessels crew the time to safely extinguish, de-gas or dewater that space. These systems...

... A project to develop guidance useful for the structural designer, especially those in the early stages of their career, is being considered by the SNAME Hull Structure Committee. There are numerous relevant sources of information that can help designers develop sound ship structures...

... Electrical aspects of complex vessels are significantly relevant within the overall design and production, but it is a fact that shipyards and technical offices still don't have this discipline completely integrated within the rest of CAD disciplines. The consequence of this lack of electrical...

... the concept of "LNG Fuel Ready vessels". This paper seeks to provide a Classification Society perspective to this concept, as well as outline some of the decisions owners, designers and builders may need to make if they are considering this alternative. descriptive letter overview liquified natural...

... In July 2011, the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP)awarded the project entitled “Reduction of Total Ownership Costs Through Application of Design For Maintenance (DFM) and Repair Methodologies Project” a collaborative shipyard-led research project, supported by Bollinger Shipyards...

... to draw them, saving time for the rest of the process of ship design. In this paper it is showed, for first time in a conference, a new module dedicated to definition and management the compartment arrangement of a ship. Compartment arrangement of a vessel is based on the definition of its spaces. Each...

... and the need to cut the number of and the cost of each of these designs. Global shipbuilding orders are down due to overcapacity and reduced customer demand. The US shipbuilding industry is facing some very critical challenges, both domestically and internationally. These challenges must be addressed so...

... Conventional wisdom says that one of the primary benefits of 3D design in shipbuilding is design man-hour savings. This paper presents a case study of the Intergraph® SmartMarine® 3D implementation at Samsung Heavy Industries to illustrate that design man-hour savings are only a small portion...

...P01 Ensuring Successful Ship Construction Outcomes: Using More Physics-Based Design Tools in Early Concept Design Robert G. Keane, Jr., Ship Design USA, Inc. ABSTRACT The Navy has experimented with many ways to improve the producibility of naval ship designs. In terms of effectiveness - does...

... The paper describes the development of composite rigging systems for large sailing superyachts. The mechanical properties of available rigging materials are described, along with the design and manufacturing techniques employed in the series production of PBO rigging elements. The development...

In both Millennium and Radiance localized areas where the air-to-fuel ratio is too low. The of the Seas, the designers did, in fact...

... In February 2007, NSRP awarded the project entitled “Design for Producibility (DFP) for Mid-Tiered Shipyards,” a collaborative research project which included Bollinger, Atlantic Marine, and Todd Pacific Shipyards. The purpose of the project was to incorporate DFP methodologies into the ship...
