RINA AFFAIRS Medal, Prizes & Awards T


he following Medals, Prizes and Awards were announced at the 2020 Annual General Meeting:


Medal of Distinction


Te Institution’s Medal of Distinction for papers published in the 2019 Transactions is awarded to the following: P S Szulczewski for his paper Dangers


Arising From Application of the Probabilistic Method (as included in SOLAS 2009 Ch.Ii-1) to Measuring Level of Safety of Cargo Ships. M S Yi, Professor J K Paik and C M Hyun


for their paper Full-scale measurements of welding-induced initial deflections and residual stresses in steel-stiffened plate structures. S Ferauge, W Jacobs and K De Baere for


their paper “Liquefaction” and “Dynamic Separation”- different aspects of the same problem.


Council’s Commendation


The Council has commended the paper Te Sophistication Of Early Stage Design For Complex Vessels by Professor D Andrews. It was considered that this paper, which


was a synthesis of his previously published research on ship design, was a seminal paper which sets the benchmark for ship designers looking to exploit new technology and techniques. As such, the paper was considered to be essential reading for all naval architects and marine engineers, and not just those working in concept design. Click here to download and read the

Te Jeom Kee Paik Prize for the best paper on the subject of structures published by an author under the age of 35 in the 2019 Transactions is awarded to T Li for his paper Mathematical Model And Analytical Solution For The Vibration Of Inclined Fluid-Transporting Submarine Pipelines.


W H C Nicholas Prize


The W H C Nicholas Prize for the best paper on a design related topic published by an author under the age of 35 in the 2019 Transactions is awarded to I Almallah for his paper High-speed wave-piercing catamaran global loads determined by FEA and sea trials.


RINA Affairs May/June 2020 Wakeham Prize


The Wakeham Prize for the best general paper published in the 2019 Transactions by an author under the age of 35 was awarded to C Delen for his paper Telfer’s Geosim Method Revisited By CFD.


Samuel Baxter Prize


The Samuel Baxter Prize for the best paper on the subject of safety published by an author under the age of 35 in the 2019 Transactions is awarded to R Fiskin for his paper Deterministic-Based Ship Anti-Collision Route Optimization With Web-Based Application.


Austin Farrar Prize


Te Austin Farrar Prize for the best paper published in the 2019 Transactions by an author under the age of 35 on the subject of small craſt is awarded to A Dashtimanesh, M Habibiasl and A Ghassemzadeh for their paper Development of a Mathematical Model for Performance Prediction of Planing Catamaran in Calm Water.


Calder Prize


Te Calder Prize for the best paper published in the 2019 Transactions by an author under the age of 35 on the subject of small or high-speed craſt is awarded to S Hajizadeh, M Fathi Kazerooni and A Mohammadi for their paper Ranse Simulation Of Stepped Planing Hull Hydrodynamic Performance In Calm Water And Waves.


David Goodrich Award


The David Goodrich Prize for the best paper presented at the 2019 Warships Conference was awarded to H Cole and J Alvarez for their paper Standardisation of Naval Containerised Modules – Enabling interoperability across NATO.


William Froude Medal The William Froude Medal is awarded


to an individual of any nationality who, in the opinion of the Council has made a conspicuous contribution to naval architecture and/or shipbuilding and whose achievements merit special consideration. Te William Froude Medal is the Institution’s highest award for professional achievement.


Council has approved the award of the


William Froude Medal to Professor David Andrews, in recognition of his steadfast and professional contribution to the field of ship design, and particularly your work in challenging established practices which has benefitted ship performance, safety and operational capability. Your work over the last 40 years has consistently enhanced the understanding of early stage ship design and developed tools and techniques for the designer to use. Trough your research into design methodologies, published in over 90 papers, and also your work in the education of generations of naval architects and marine engineers in ship design, you have made a conspicuous contribution to naval architecture.


Maritime Safety Award


Te 2019 Maritime Safety Award is awarded to Life Cell Marine Safety Pty Ltd. Life Cell is an innovative float-free buoyant


device that stores all essential marine safety equipment. Life Cell is designed to keep people together in the water and provide a stable platform from which to facilitate the individual’s own rescue.


Maritime Innovation Award


Te 2019 Maritime Innovation Award is awarded to Conoship International BV for their development of the compact eConowind-unit. Te eConowind-unit is a smart economical unit for wind-assisted ship propulsion, based on a 40ſt container with two foldable ‘VentiFoils’. In upright position, the wing-shaped VentiFoils™ convert wind to thrust for the vessel just like a sail, with about. five times more thrust per m2


due to innovative boundary


layer-suction technology. Eli Keary Award


Te 2019 and inaugural Eli Keary Award is awarded to Natalie Desty, Founder and Director of the company STEM Returners. STEM Returners facilitates the return


of people who had taken career breaks back into STEM careers. Open to all, it is particularly relevant to women and thus helps to redress the gender imbalance within STEM.
