Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of major shipping disasters on all coasts, the safety of vessel operations in U.S. ports and waterways and the effectiveness of waterway designs are under increased scrutiny. But are traditional waterway design practices that rely heavily on rules of thumb and conservatism providing adequate margins of safety while keeping the overall costs of waterway projects within the funding capabilities of local project sponsors? Shiphandling Simulation addresses how computer-based simulation can be used to improve the cost- effectiveness of waterway design while satisfying safety objectives. The book examines the role of computer simulation in improving waterway design, evaluates the adequacy of data input, explores the validity of hydrodynamic and mathematical models, assesses required and achievable accuracy of simulation results, and identifies research needed to establish shiphandling simulation as a standard design aid. Case studies of waterway design efforts employing shiphandling simulation are analyzed and lessons learned are identified.

This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its 5th edition, Shiphandling for the Mariner is the classic and definitive text on the art of practical shiphandling skills for large, modern commercial vessels. Written by a father and son team of pilots, along with contributions from other expert pilots and shipmasters, this compendium follows a nontechnical format that stresses maneuvers used routinely in the field. The text covers essential maneuvers used in docking, undocking, and shiphandling, plus uncommon maneuvers such as docking at single-point and multiple-buoy moorings, use of anchors in shiphandling, offshore lightering, and transiting of locks and canals. Bridge practices in pilot waters and training techniques, including simulator training are also discussed. Updated for the 5th edition: squat and under keel clearance, current practices for bridge resource management, and the use of laptop navigation systems and ECDIS in pilotage waters. Shiphandling for the Mariner is ideal for those with a foundation of practical knowledge looking to advance and master shiphandling skills that are essential to the marine profession.

Download or read book SHIPHANDLING WITH AZUMUTHING PODDED PROPELLERS written by ALPERTUNGA ANIKER and published by ALPERTUNGA ANIKER. This book was released on 2021-10-04 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vessels ftted with azimuthing podded propulsors have much better maneuvering capabilities. They are also environmentally friendly with much reduced exhaust emissions. With these unique features ,they offer signifcant economic, safety and environmental advantages to society, but unfortunately, the routines and the emergency procedures of the azimuthing podded propulsion system were not clearly defned and incorporated into onboard ISM systems. Masters, Chief Engineers and Pilots should receive a specialist training before they lay their hands on the controls, but instead most of them still have to try learning on the job, which sometimes lead to serious incidents, near misses and accidents with serious consequences. One of the reasons that encouraged me to write this book is to draw attention to these serious shortcomings which someday may cause society to pay a high price. My main focus in this book has been on telling about the shiphandling behaviours of electrically-driven azimuthing propulsors rather than the mechanically-driven azimuthing propulsors. Despite the fact that the shiphandling principles of both systems are quite similar, I chose not to mention much about the mechanically driven azimuthing propulsors as they are mostly related with tugboats. Tugboat handling is another speciality, which I believe should be explained only by seasoned tugboat captains themselves. I am a professional maritime pilot but an amateur author and this book is solely intended to share my humble experience and knowledge with my colleagues, ship captains, students and all other interested parties of the maritime industry. Dear Reader, I had actually started writing this book in order to keep my experience on the subject in writing and bring together all the data I have collected from various resources at different times. To improve my knowledge and experience, I have also joined a special manned model course for “Pod Handling and Emergencies” at Port Revel Shiphandling Centre which is located at Grenoble, France in May 2010. Vessels ftted with azimuthing podded propulsors have much better manoeuvring capabilities, such as reduced turning diameters and signifcantly shorter stopping distances compared to the conventional systems with a fxed propeller and conventional rudder. They are also environmentally friendly with much reduced exhaust emissions. With these unique features ,they offer signifcant economic, safety and environmental advantages to society, but unfortunately, the routines and the emergency procedures of the azimuthing podded propulsion system were not clearly defned and incorporated into onboard ISM systems. Even class surveyors and Port State surveyors don’t seem to have enough knowledge about this technology. Masters, Chief Engineers and Pilots should receive a specialist training before they lay their hands on the controls, but instead most of them still have to try learning on the job, which sometimes lead to serious incidents, near misses and accidents with serious consequences. One of the reasons that encouraged me to write this book is to draw attention to these serious shortcomings which someday may cause society to pay a high price.

Download or read book Techniques for Ship Handling and Bridge Team Management written by Hiroaki Kobayashi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-06 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hiroaki Kobayashi has trained 1500 mariners in ship handling over twenty years and he has systematized the methods of safe navigation into nine elemental techniques. Taking a rigorous and scientific look at good practice and attitudes, good seamanship can be viewed as a series of concrete technical functions, which can be in terms of competencies. By giving proper attention to human factors the conditions for maintaining system safety can be defined, and the interaction of human competencies and environmental conditions and their effects on system safety can be recognised. System safety in turn depends on good bridge team management, with particular emphasis on communication, cooperation and leadership – communication for the exchange of information, cooperation to smooth team activities, and leadership to ensure that each member of the team performs successfully.

Download or read book Seamanship in the Age of Sail written by John H. Harland and published by Conway. This book was released on 1984 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous successful reprints of contemporary works on rigging and seamanship indicate the breadth of interest in the lost art of handling square-rigged ships. Modelmakers, marine painters and enthusiasts need to know not only how the ships were rigged but how much sail was set in each condition of wind and sea, how the various manoeuvres were carried out, and the intricacies of operations like reefing sails or 'catting' an anchor. Contemporary treatises such as Brady's Kedge Anchor in the USA or Darcy Lever's Sheet Anchor in Britain tell only half the story, for they were training manuals intended to be used at sea in conjunction with practical experiences and often only cover officially-condoned practices. This book, on the other hand, is a modern, objective appraisal of the evidence, concerned with the actualities as much as the theory. The author's facility in a remarkable range of languages has allowed him to study virtually every manual published over a period of nearly four centuries. This gives the book a completely international balance and allows the author to describe for the first time the proper historical development of seamanship among the major navies of the world.
