Perhaps one of the most innovative rudder mechanisms you will ever come across. Suppose you have aship, too large to be manoeuvrein a basin with size constraints, such that the ship cannot use its propeller during the manoeuvre. This situation often arises in case of large ships operating in...
However, a medium-sized survey vessel owned and operated by a coastal engineering organization or a couple of small or medium fishing trawlers run by a significant seafood processing chain are examples of privately owned ships. Vessels owned by an individual are primarily for pleasure and recreation...

The late California naval architect Carl Schumacher paired a modern underbody with the classic lines of Nathanael Herreshoff’s 1916 beauty,Alerion, to create this simple, fast and beautiful “gentleman’s daysailer.” The Alerion Express was so successful and struck such a chord that it spawned ...
The Brigantine was a type of ship used in large numbers, both as a Merchant vessel and as a Naval Ship. It carried 16 guns and was rigged for speed, having both Top gallant sails and royals. These ships were used by Navies of the World for scouting and reconnaissance duties. They were...

3) The steam turbine's original function was to provide useful electrical power, though it was later used for various purposes, especially naval propulsion. Consequently, steam turbines are being utilised as steam turbine generators. 4) Modern steam turbines are frequently used in the field of ren...

We had differentiated betweenIce Class vessels and Icebreakers. Here looking into this aspect, there are mainly 3 breeds of ships which we need to contemplate upon: Ice-Strengthened Ships:These come under ‘Ice-Class Vessels’ and have additional ‘ice-strengthening’ and ice capable performance ...
Althoughnaval architectsgenerally try to reduce drag as much as possible while designing moving structures to increase their straight-line speeds, drag can slow vessels down during storms so that they remain under the control of their propulsion system. This prevents therolling motionof waves from da...
