‘Applied Hydrodynamics of Floating Offshore Structures’ course, Oct 8 - 10, Houston


MARIN will again host the ‘Applied Hydrodynamics of Floating Offshore Structures’ course in Houston. This course gives an overview of the latest developments including extreme metocean conditions, wave impacts and motion and mooring analysis.


For more information and registration for both courses please contact Saskia van de Peppel on +31 317 49 32 89, courses@marin.nl or visit www.marin.nl/courses


Fast Displacement Ships PC program available in webshop


There was great interest in Fast Displacement vessels in the seventies and eighties and during this time, the US, Australian and Netherlands Navies carried out a 10-year research project together with MARIN and TU Delft to investigate their hydrodynamic properties. The results of this research work – comprising model experiments on 40 hull


forms - are now declassified. These results are embedded in a PC program that provides a resistance and powering prediction in calm water and produces the ship motions and added resistance in head seas. A hull form, based on the underlying systematic series, can then be extracted. The format of the hull is suitable for further use in CAD systems and other applications.


This program is ideal for initial design work because of the limited input parameters and the extremely fast response time. The program and a book on the background of the project are available at webshop.marin.nl.


SMM September 9-12


e-Motion JIP


The effects of the first principles of physics and environmental loads on marine struc- tures are understood only reasonably well, and the impact of crew decisions is hardly even accounted for. The latest ship designs have vast dimensions, new structural designs and operate in changing environ- ments. Perception of performance and load intensity might differ from reality. Safety and efficiency can therefore be improved by raising awareness. The e-Motion project goal is to improve awareness by providing the right feedback to vessel crews and de- signers. The project aims to turn ‘measured data’ into intuitive operational indicators for structural performance.


The project is in the early stages. For more information and participation please contact j.koning@marin.nl


Traditionally MARIN is present at the Shipbuilding and Machinery & Marine (SMM) Technology International trade fair in Hamburg. Meet us at stand 320, Hall B2 to discuss the latest technologies we offer the shipbuilding industry.
