ICSOT 2006 — DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF NATURAL GAS CARRIERS AND OFFSHORE SYSTEMS

The trend of current LNG newbuildings is that the cargo capacity keeps increasing every year. The shipyard proposal keeps adding the numbers of tank capacity until there is no limit to the membrane LNG carriers. Prior to this phenomenon, the Large LNG Carriers standard designs are limited to 130,000 cbm to 138,000 cbm In 2004, Qatar Gas selected two designs proposed by Hyundai Heavy Industries/Samsung Heavy Industries Consortium and Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering to build larger than 200.000cbm capacity LNG Carriers. The contract of the Very Large LNGCs clearly showed that there is no limitation of what is coming to the industry.

The construction of the LNG newbuildings around the world will increase until the Qatar Gas acquisitions of LNG ships settled sometime in 2012. Previously in the past, any LNG newbuildings will be based on a fixed charter contract between the Charterer and the Owner. However, recent trend of the LNG newbuildings is now moving towards the spot charter market and speculative in nature making the newbuildings slots for LNG very tight among the LNGC capable shipyards. In order to become pro—active player in the LNG transportation market and promoting high quality standards in LNGC newbuildings, MISC would like to share the experience gained during supervision of newbuildings of Large LNGC. MISC experience in LNGC newbuildings is further augment by the fad thai most of the newbuildings ordered in the recent years are based the membrane—type insulation rather than other type of insulation like the Moss—type or independent tank—type. In 2004 alone, the big three shipyards in Korea won almost 90 percent of the LNG tanker contracts awarded...

12TH INTERNATIONAL SHIP STABILITY WORKSHOP — 2011 — WASHINGTON

This pack of files contains the most actual proceedings of the 12th ISSW which was hosted by David Taylor Model Basin together with the SNAME Chesapeake Section in Washington, United States, in 2011. There were ten major sessions covering such the most important aspects of stability as early stage design criteria as applied to the intact stability of the vessel, compliance and regulatory matters related to the damage stability, operational issues, assessment of the vessel stability using the numerical simulation and various experimental techniques, stochastic dynamics, progressive flooding and capsize issues, basic theory and roll damping, stability issues integrated into the overall risk assessment, and, finally, design for survivability after the vessel has been damaged.

The first session, as stated above, addresses the early-stage design criteria of the ship's intact stability, touching the vulnerability criteria for both surf-riding and parametric rolling, some relevant considerations on parametric roll and dead ship conditions, lateral accelerations taken into account in the ship design rules, validation attempts on the new stability criteria...

11TH INTERNATIONAL SHIP STABILITY WORKSHOP — 2010 — WAGENINGEN

The pack of files presented to your attention contains the materials of the Eleventh ISSW hosted by MARIN (The Netherlands) in 2010. The list of sessions of that conference includes ones dedicated to the goal based intact and damage stability standards, special problems and risk based methods of analysis, naval ship stability, safety of damaged ships, recent developments in the field of intact/damage stability, operational safety and roll damping, etc.

The first chapter of this compilation is dedicated to the current status of the developments of the intact ship stability criteria. It addresses such the important aspects as the vulnerability criteria, possible stability failure, direct stability assessment, various relevant regulations governing the stability of the vessels, such as 2008 Intact Stability Code released by the IMO. This part of the volume also deals with design of the stability criteria and researches relating to the container shipping.

The other numerous papers included in this book cover goal-based damaged stability, risk based analysis, freak waves, capsize risk, stability standards allied to the landing crafts, evaluation of the dynamic stability, emergency response, ship roll damping, non-linear roll damping and many other interesting topics.

10TH INTERNATIONAL SHIP STABILITY WORKSHOP — 2008 — DAEJEON

This pack of files contains the proceedings of the Tenth International Ship Stability Workshop held in Daejeon in 2008. The materials collected in this set have been arranged in nine major sessions. The opening session is fully dedicated to the numerical prediction of ship's intact stability - it addresses ship seakeeping, fast ship behavior in oblique seas, CFD application to the vessel stability problems.

In the second session the authors of the articles dealt with theoretical prediction of steady stated for parametric ship roll and its experimental verification, explain how to properly apply the criteria of parametric roll to naval vessels, assessment of such type of rolling, together with capabilities and problems. The next session touches the behavior of the vessel in following and quartering waves, including analytical predictions and experimental validation experimental studies, broaching phenomenon etc.

The remaining sessions cover such important topics as probabilistic assessment of intact stability of the vessel, motion prediction envelopes, critical wave groups concept, numerical prediction of flooding/damage stability, design support systems, operational stability safety, closure on survival time, accident investigation and others.

INNOVATION IN HIGH SPEED MARINE VEHICLES

This publication includes all articles presented in the course of the RINA Conference 2009 — Innovation in high Speed Marine Vessels. Best industry experts from all over the world did participate in the subject conference, reporting on the latest developments on such the important matters as fire safety for FRP composite ships, station keeping of high speed ferries, sharing experiences from construction, design and operation of CFRP sandwich vessels and boats, explaining the protection of intellectual property for the HSC industry, and many more — there are in total almost twenty documents inside.

Designers and operators of the ships have to possess the information about the limit—state responses of a ship operating in high sea conditions, and this shall preferably be done without having to resort to costly experiments. For the sake of accuracy, the structural response of the ship shall be considered. It will be demonstrated that the coupled smoother particle hydrodynamics approach can predict the FSI (i.e. fluid—structure interaction) effects during the impact of flexible cylinder on calm water — such case would be relevant to slamming of the high speed vessels' hull.

INTERNATIONAL SHIP AND OFFSHORE STRUCTURES CONGRESS 2009

The present compendium of files contains all technical documents presented and discussed during the Seventeenth Ship & Offshore Structures Congress held in South Korea some years ago in 2009. It consists of the proceedings of eight specialist committees dealing with the damage assessment after accidental events, fabrication technology, utilization of the ocean wind-and-wave energy, floating production systems, naval ship design, sailing yacht design, condition assessment of aged ships, impulsive pressure loading and response assessment.

The second part of the volume contains eight documents corresponding to the technical committees covering the environment, the loads,  quasi-static and dynamic response, ultimate strength, fatigue, fracture, design principles and applicable criteria, design methods. As everyone may see from the above list of the topics that have been addressed during the event, the information included in this set of technical papers is very valuable and practical so we believe that it would be very beneficial to all marine industry professionals to go through all of them to get updated with the recent scientific developments and researches, especially taking into consideration that all articles have been prepared by the world recognized industry experts.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IMLA 19 OPATIJA 2011

The international maritime industry of today is being challenged by so many important factors, one of them being the fall—out from the current economic crisis causing the rippling effects; we shall also take into close consideration the global warming effect with all scientific impacts involved, as well as the direction in which today's shipping industry shall move to decrease negative impact of the air emissions another factor to be considered is rising cost of energy and shortage of the manpower experienced elsewhere — of course, these factors will not disappear in the nearest future and shall therefore be paid attention.

This problem cannot be fixed immediately, and the participants of the shipping industry have to get the vessels manned with better rained and adjusted personnel having all required internship at sea. It shall be noted that safety and security, as well as the environmental credentials of shipping and whole future sustainability of the maritime industry totally depend on developing of the capable and effective manpower resources. It is quite obvious that development and training of the manpower and all other issues connected with human resources will become one of the most serious challenges faced by the industry...

DESIGN AND OPERATION OF BULK CARRIERS

Proceedings of the RINA conference on design & operation of the bulk carriers that was held in 2009. The publication starts with the hull integrity management and covers the best established practices for maintenance of subject type of vessels, including vetting trends.

We understand that the bulk carriers live very stressful lives since they are not as robust and strong as most of the people might think, and at the same tome safe and efficient bulk carrier may only be obtained if all the ship designers and constructors, maintenance and management teams performed their duties in a proper manner.

The documents included in this compilation deal with such interesting topics as regulatory and operational challenges applicable to the bulk carriers, design and operation of bulk carriers, monitoring and maintaining ballast tank condition in vessels that are laid-up, special fatigue analysis, best practices for technical maintenance, double bottom height effect, reliability of the hull girder including challenges and possible solutions, economic and environment-friendly solutions for electric drives for the side-rolling hatch covers, predictor-corrector system for health monitoring of the structure of the hull, applicable IMO performance standards, spectral fatigue analysis etc.
