EEDI Verifi ers course


MARIN is organising a new specialist course for EEDI Verifiers: Ship Propulsion, Model Tests & Speed/Power Trials. The course will be held in Wageningen, the Netherlands, June 24-28. From January 1, all newly delivered ships or converted vessels have to have an Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI). The determi- nation of the EEDI includes the model testing of the vessel, the design, construction and the delivery trials, where the speed/power characteristics are finally assessed. For each vessel an EEDI Verifier appointed by the flag state has to verify that the EEDI procedure is compliant with the IMO MEPC EEDI regu- lations. In these regulations special reference is made to the required procedures for the model tests and for the speed/power trials. This five-day specialist course will help make participants fully conversant with ship pro- pulsion theory, design practice, resistance and propulsion model tests, extrapolation procedures and coefficients, as well as the conduct and analysis of speed/power trials within the EEDI framework. Besides the theoretical background during the course, practical instruction will be given at MARIN’s


October 8Software Seminar Houston


After three successful software seminars in the Netherlands, MARIN is adding a Houston edition this year on October 8. This seminar brings together developers and users to share experiences and define future requirements. If you have used MARIN’s software or are considering using it, we would like to meet you and hear your feedback and requirements.


The seminar will focus on integrating model tests, simulations, training and monitoring in order to realise safe and economic ships and offshore structures.


During the day we will share experiences in carrying out complex numerical studies, looking both at the software’s use and hardware requirement. Several new, innovative projects will be presented to show the latest in maritime simulations. Expect presentations on hull design optimisation to minimise resistance. New scenario analysis tools will also be introduced, which ensure effective operations and voyage planning.

model test basins, as well as on board a vessel undergoing speed/power trials. Evaluation of model test results and the analysis and corrections of trial results will be practised. The course is based on ITTC procedures and those of the STA-group on sea trials.

OTC May 6-9


MARIN will again attend OTC in Hou- ston. Meet us at the Dutch Pavilion at Stand No. 2427 to find out all about our offshore services. And join us for ‘splashy drinks’ on Tuesday May 7, 16.00 hrs.


C&SI May 28-30


MARIN will again be present at the “Construction & Shipping Industry” event held in Gorinchem, the Netherlands. Visit us to discuss the broad range of services we offer the inland shipping industry.

The already proven programs TERMSIM and DYNFLOAT were used to build a new GUI that uses the aNySIM simulation program. This new program is called aNyMOOR and can be used to define input, run the analy- sis with aNySIM and to review the results. Currently, the TERMSIM and DYNFLOAT


functionality are available in aNyMOOR but the modular setup means that future developments in the aNySIM Code can be added into the GUI.

Shipping June 4-7


There is a chance to meet us again at Nor-Shipping In Oslo. You are wel- come in Hall C at Stand CO2-18, which is in the “Maritime by Holland” Pavilion of HME.
