The application of dynamic positioning (DP) systems has been expanded significantly not only in the number of DP vessels, but also in the range of applications and the advancement of DP technologies. In order to address various needs of the industry, the majority of leading Classification Societies (Class) have developed Class specific guidance relating to development, implementation, and use of dynamic positioning Systems (DP). This book provides generalised guidance adapted from various leading Classes, to provide DP professionals with a readily available source of information and guidance relating to the operation and use of DP systems. The book provides optional notations and technical specifics that reflect current industry practice and DP technologies.This book includes guidance relating to:• Enhanced system (EHS) notations to recognise design features beyond current DPS-series notations and to provide flexibility to owners and operators.• Station keeping performance (SKP) notations to recognise DP capability and to encourage robust design of the DP systems.• Increased level of detail on the technical requirements to help less experienced users.

Container industry is gathering pace as vessels are becoming increasingly larger, with the volume of containers carried regularly exceeding 23,000 per vessel.

Container industry is gathering pace as vessels are becoming increasingly larger, with the volume of containers carried regularly exceeding 23,000 per vessel. This means the scope for accidents and incidents is also increasing exponentially.This title aims to provide those professionals involved in the packing and handling of cargoes inside containers with the necessary knowledge to do so safely. This will help ensure container collapses are avoided due to inertial forces both at sea and during land transportation.

The concerns related to levels and characteristics of noise and vibration are covered in this and the other titles in the series related to ship vibration and noise control.

Working and living onboard vessels imposes a series of generally low-frequency mechanical vibrations as well as single-impulse shock loads on the human body. Also, exposure to noise is characteristic aboard vessels. Low-frequency vibrations are created by vessel motions, which are produced by the various sea states in conjunction with vessel speed and point of sail. These motions can result in motion sickness, body instability, interruptions of task performance, sleep interruption and fatigue, increased health risk aggravated by shock loads due to slam and reduced human efficiency. Higher-frequency vibration influences comfort and is often associated with rotating machinery. The imposition of higher frequency vibrations (about 1 to 80 Hz) induces corresponding motions and forces within the human body creating discomfort and reduced human efficiency. With regard to noise, the above can similarly affect exposed humans, notably with sleep interruption and resulting fatigue, discomfort, and reduced efficiency. Also of concern are transient and permanent hearing loss, masking of audible signals, and interruption of speech communication. The concerns related to levels and characteristics of noise and vibration are covered in this and the other titles in the series related to ship vibration and noise control. be granted any of the associated habitability notations, specific noise and vibration criteria must be met. Ship designers in pursuit of these notations often request guidance on how to control levels of noise and vibration in inhabited spaces. As a result, this book has been written. The information presented in this book is intended for guidance only to support vessel designers and operators in controlling vessel noise and vibration in the general case, and more specifically in meeting the requirements of classification society habitability rules.

Regarding the shaft alignment design and implementation efforts by the shipbuilding industry, this book is designed to further advance the technical approach towards shaft alignment analyses and procedures.

This book describes a slamming strength assessment procedure for vessels. Typically, there are three types of slamming loads on commercial vessels: bottom slamming, bow flare slamming, and stern slamming depending upon the hull geometry at the bow and stern.

This book is devoted to the development of procedures and technical manuals for the marine and offshore industries, providing a comprehensive guide to creating clear, effective instructional materials.

These guidelines also assist with the finite element analysis (FEA) based vibration analysis procedure to calculate the vibration response and evaluate the design at detail design stage.

This book provides a comprehensive guide to the Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM), a critical document for ensuring the safe and environmentally sound recycling of ships. At the heart of this book is the matter of compliance with the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships, which mandates the development and maintenance of an IHM throughout a vessel's lifecycle.The chapters cover topics such as the development, review, and verification of the initial Inventory for new construction vessels, as well as the maintenance and verification processes for vessels in service. Readers will find contributions by renowned experts in marine quality welding, non-destructive testing, radiographic inspection, ultrasonic inspection, and phased array inspection. The authors provide an expert analysis of these techniques through practical case studies and theoretical perspectives.This book is an essential resource for offshore installation managers, senior safety management professionals, academics, and students in industrial design and engineering. It offers invaluable insights into regulatory compliance and best practices in ship recycling. Whether you are a seasoned professional or a student entering the field, this guide will equip you with the knowledge needed to navigate the complexities of hazardous materials management in maritime contexts.
