Description
The ever-growing demand for commercial activities at sea has meant that ships are rapidly developing and that the rules governing their
construction and operation are changing.
Practical Ship Design records these changes, their outcomes and the reasoning behind
them.
It deals with every aspect of ship design and handles a wide range of both merchant ships and naval ships with authority. It
provides coverage of cargo ships and passenger ships, tugs, dredgers and other service craft. It also includes concept design, detail
design, structural design, hydrodynamics design, the effect of regulations, the preparation of specifications and matters of costs and
economics.
Drawing on the author's extensive practical experience,
Practical Ship Design is likely to interest everybody
involved in the design, construction, repair and operation of ships. Students and the most experienced professionals will all benefit
from the book's vast store of design data and its conclusions and recommendations.
