    Date published

    1993

    Abstract

    Introductory article to the Safe Ship feature series which emphasises the EC's new Common Policy on Safe Seas IMO's similar measures and the UK's report on the Safety Aspects of Ship Design and Technology. These reports recommend long term safety case planning and attention to port state control inspections training improvements the potential for using Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) and strict implmentation of regulations. IMO has stressed the need for regulation enforcement by flag states better training and use of casualty statistics. IMO is also promoting standards improvement for classified vessels through IACS.

  • The wash of boats on recreational waterways

    Authors

    1994

    Abstract

    It is shown that fairly good predictions of far field waves can be made for high speed hull forms even though the method used does not model the flow over the hull correctly. While the main subject under consideration is the far field wave wash of high speed hull forms shallow water depth effects on the local wave system at lower speeds are discussed briefly. The theory throws light on some characteristics of high speed boat wash and therefore could be useful in the preliminary assessment of high speed hull forms for the suitability for use in recreational waterways where wash limitation is required.

  • Wing-in-ground effect on free surface

    Authors

    2006

    Abstract

    WIG crafts (Wingship Ekranoplan) use the ground effect of lift which occurs when the gap between wing trail and ground is less than 30% of chord length. This type of craft is now of great interest to Asian countries due to the growth of trading market and the demand for fast transportation. The effect of free surface on the lift and drag of flying WIG crafts is considered. There are two primary interests here: the deformation of free surface and non-flat wavy profile. This study focuses on the former issue and observes the deformation of free surface near a wing in ground and the hydrodynamic forces for different ground conditions.

  • The Erika effect on classification societies

    Authors

    P Boisson

    Date published

    2002

    Abstract

    The effect of the loss of the Erika on classification societies is considered. Firstly the actual incident is presented. Next questions about the role and the performance of the class are looked at followed by the immediate consequences on survey regimes. The openness and transparency of information is then discussed followed by increased supervision of classification societies; a new liability regime; and IACS alliances and regroupings.

  • The Impact of Weather Forecasting on Offshore Safety

    IMarE Conferences and Symposia

    Abstract

    The risks of weather-related incidents has increased with offshore cost-cutting of the fees paid for weather-forecast services. Contracts placed on a `cheapest price' basis has led to a drop in standards. The process and equipment required for on-site weather forecasting is explained and the need for national independent meteorological services proposed.
