Course Description

This course aims to ship students buoyancy of the stability and structural elements, structural loads and to the general ship technical information .. In addition to providing   the necessary  underpinning knowledge for follow on   Cargo Operations courses,  it also aims to offer  the necessary concepts for a variety of ship structures.

Course Objectives

1. To introduce students to the basic  construction principles of ships
2. To introduce students to the basics of ship buoyancy and stability
3. To introduce students to the basic principles of ship strength and structure
4. To supplement the courses in cargo operations and ship safety.

Course Learning Outcomes

A student successfully completing the course should be familiar to the following subjects and gain necessary underpinning knowledge for the follow on courses in ship handling, and cargo operations:

1. Ship types, ship geometry, Form Factors
2. Equilibrium of floating bodies, conditions of stability, initial stability, GM,  Cross curves of stability
3. The effects of loading, discharging and shifting of weights on ship’s stability, Transverse stability,  List
4. Longitudinal stability ,Trim, hydrostatic curves,
5. Damaged stability and stability when grounded or dry docked,
6. Forces and moments acting on the ship, the ship structural materials and components,.
