Practical Design of Ships and Other Floating Structures Vol by You-Sheng Wu

By You-Sheng Wu

This complaints includes the papers awarded on the eighth overseas Symposium on useful layout of Ships and different Floating buildings held in China in September 2001 - the 1st PRADS of the twenty first Century.The total target of PRADS symposia is to develop the layout of ships and different floating buildings as a qualified self-discipline and technology through changing wisdom and selling dialogue of correct themes within the fields of naval structure and marine and offshore engineering. in response to the purpose, in welcoming the hot period, this Symposium is meant to extend foreign co-operation and provides a momentum for the hot improvement of layout and construction expertise of ships and different floating buildings for potency, financial system, safeguard, and environmental production.The major issues of this Symposium are layout Synthesis, creation, Hydrodynamics, buildings and fabrics of Ships and Floating structures. Proposals for over 270 papers from 26 international locations and areas in the topics have been obtained for PRADS 2001, and approximately one hundred seventy papers have been authorised for presentation on the symposium. With the prime quality of the proposed papers the neighborhood setting up Committee had a tricky job to make a balanced choice and to manage the full variety of papers for becoming into the allotted time time table authorized through the status Committee of PRADS.Volume I covers layout synthesis, construction and a part of hydrodynamics. quantity II comprises the remainder of hydrodynamics, and buildings and fabrics.

Nuclear physics is almost immediately experiencing a thrust in the direction of basic phy­ sics questions. Low-energy experiments assist in checking out past contemporary stan­ dard versions of particle physics. the quest for finite neutrino plenty and neutrino oscillations, for proton decay, infrequent and forbidden muon and pion de­ cays, for an electrical dipole second of the neutron denote a few of the efforts to check latest theories of grand unification (GUTs, SUSYs, Superstrings, .

S. Congress passed the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. S. waters and mandated a phase out of existing single hull tankers. In its final impact, OPA-90 also prompted the 1992 amendments to MARPOL mandating double hull tankers or equivalent designs throughout the world. Unfortunately the decade of the 90’s had not seen much relief in regulatory pressures. There was the grounding of the oil tanker BRAER offthe Shetland Islands, and the grounding of the oil tanker SEA EMPRESS off the coast of Wales. 4 NEW EMPHASIS ON THE HUMAN ELEMENT Following OPA-90 and the requirement for double hull tankers, the regulatory pressure had shifted to a new emphasis on the human element in the marine safety equation.

In IACS, some members have acquired IS09000 certificates aside from IACS QSCS certificate. Some shipping companies are working towards IS0114000 and IS0/18000 in addition to IS0/9000. Quality shipping is also a part of safety culture. One of the characteristics of modem society is associated with risk and risk-assessment. Classification societies have introduced the methodology of risk assessment to its rule-making process. Risk management has become a major part of safety culture. 8 Insurer T Classification Society Owner Charterer Fig.

So information technology has become a key measure for shipping companies to cut management cost, improve service quality, and get competitive edge. (5) Trends of cooperation will be further developed from slot chartering to setting up alliance. There have been tens of major mergers in international shipping industry recent years, such as P&O and NEDLLOYD in September of 1996, NYK and SHOWA in June of 1998, MOL and NAVIX in April of 1999. Some major acquisitions such as APL by NOL in April of 1997, and Sealand by Maersk in July of 1999.
