MIDTERMS Flashcards
The length from the forward most point of the ship to the aft most point.
LENGTH OVERALL
The art and science of designing boats and ships to perform the missions to meet the requirements laid down by the prospective owners and operators.
NAVAL ARCHITECTURE
Responsible for the internal systems of a ship, such as the propulsion, electrical, refrigeration, and steering systems.
MARINE ENGINEERS
Are large watercraft that travels the world’s ocean and other sufficiently deep waterways, carrying cargo or passengers, or in support of specialized missions, such as defense, research and fishing.
SHIP
The main propulsion system used before invention of the steam engine.
SAIL
Organizations which develop and apply technical standards for the design, structure and survey of ships and which carry out surveys and inspection on board ships.
CLASSIFICATION SOCIETIES
it Is a not for profit membership organization of classification societies that establish minimum technical standards and requirements that address maritime safety and environmental protection and ensures their consistent application.
IACS or International Association of Classification Societies
The distance measured along summer load waterplane from the aft to the fore perpendicular.
Length Between Perpendiculars
Taken as the after side of the rudder post, where fitted, or the line passing through the centerline of the rudder pintles.
Aft Perpendicular
Is the vertical line through the intersection of the forward side of the stern with the summer load waterline.
Fore Perpendicualr
Is measured along the length on the waterline.
Length Waterline
Midpoint between perpendiculars.
Amidship
The greatest distance between the inside plating on the two sides of the ship at greatest width.
Breadth Moulded
The greatest distance between the inside plating on the two sides of the ship at greatest width.
Breadth Moulded
Measured from the underside of the deck plating at the ship’s side to the top of the inner keel plate.
Depth
Measured from the inside of keel plating to the waterline.
Draught
Formula for displacement.
Displacement = L x B x D x ρ x Cb
