Marine engineering Marine engineering A displacement hull is the type of hull used by large ocean-going vessels and sailboats. The hull pushes through the water rather than planing on top of the water. Although speeds are slower than planing hulls, a displacement hull is more efficient than a planing hull. ...more on Wikipedia about "Displacement hull"
The hull speed is the maximum speed that a displacement hull can achieve. The hull speed in knots is approximately equal to the square root of the waterline length in feet, times 1.34, or ...more on Wikipedia about "Hull speed"
Marine Engineers are the officers of a ship which operate and maintain the propulsion and electrical generation systems onboard a ship. They also can help with the design, build, and repair of these complicated systems. New design is mostly included within the naval architecture or ship design. The merchant and military fleets of the world would not move without Marine Engineers. The field is closely related to mechanical engineering, although the modern engineer requires knowledge (and hands on experience) with electrical, electronic, pneumatic, hydraulic, chemistry, control engineering, naval architecture, process engineering, gas turbines and even nuclear technology on military vessels. ...more on Wikipedia about "Marine engineering"
PickUpCat is a ship concept developed and invented in Norway during the 1990's by the Norwegian marine engineer Dag Aavitsland. The main idea is that the engine module and the cargo modules of a ship can be separated and thus save a significant amount of time while loading and unloading. ...more on Wikipedia about "Pickupcat"
Tribon is a 3D Product Model is a naval architecture program originally developed by Kockum Computer Systems (KCS) for designing commercial and naval vessels. KCS was spun off from Kockums shipyards as an independent company, later renamed Tribon Systems, which was in turn acquired by Aveva. ...more on Wikipedia about "Tribon"
