Naval Architecture

Contrary to popular beliefs of professionals such as Architects as well as lay mens that there are small number of architects who specialized in Naval architecture and that sometimes it does not apply to countries manufacturing such construction, there is such thing as Naval Architecture and that a profession such as a Naval Architect exist and is even growing its popularity around the world and hopefully in the Philippines.These are the services of a Naval Architect and his partnership with the Mechanical Engineer.
Profession

Now, let me define what a Naval Architect is

Naval architecture is an engineering discipline dealing with the design, construction and repair of marine vehicles.

Due to the complexity associated with operating in a marine environment naval architecture is by necessity a co-operative effort between groups of technically skilled individuals that are specialists in particular fields, often co-ordinated by a lead naval architect. This inherent complexity also means that the analytical tools available are much less evolved than those for designing aircraft, cars and even space craft. This is due primarily to the paucity of data on the environment the marine vehicle is required to work in and the complexity of the interaction of waves and wind on a marine structure.

The areas of expertise filled by naval architects are typically:

  • Hydrostatics (ex: trim & stability)
  • Hydrodynamics (ex: resistance and powering, sea keeping, maneuvring)
  • Arrangements (ex: concept design, volume & access)
  • Structures (ex: global strength, seaway responses)

It’s nice to be inform that some profession exist. If you might ask one of your professors if such profession exist and if she says it’s not so popular, you could tell her that it’s quite popular in the modern world.

Effectiveness of Marine Radio Communication using Digital Selective Calling in Distress Situation at Sea

Mark Alvin Metilla
Abstract
The need to assess the proficiency of the Digital Selective Calling is necessary for better and safer environment at sea. This research, thus, discusses DSC limitations and improvements as tool in aiding seafarers during distress situations at sea by assessing its major components of the device and weighing the effectiveness of Marine Radio Communication through testimonial from the World Wide Web.
Earlier studies show that DSC has been proficient as compared the older version of Marine Communication. However, it also has discrepancies in terms of radio communication. In the thorough assessment of DSC, presentation of data show that DSC needs to improve on its aural alarms for reception of HF distress messages, including relays, should sound only if the distress position is within 500 nautical miles of the receiving ship’s position. It also has to manage on its operations used establish initial contact between stations and should allow more information transmission. Lastly, it has to establish a greater array of channels and scope of network.
