Advanced Naval Architecture and Ship Construction unit (JNE319)

Introduction

Advanced Naval Architecture and Ship Construction provides students of marine engineering with an applied knowledge of both fundamental and detailed concepts of a vessel’s hydrostatics, resistance and structure and their associated practical implications. The unit is essential to an adequate knowledge within any marine engineering degree. The unit provides the naval architectural context within which certain onboard operations are conducted and explains the reasons underpinning the vessel’s response and performance. Hence the unit forms one foundation for concurrent and subsequent studies within the course.

This unit meets the requirements for knowledge, understanding and proficiency set out by the Maritime Training Package TDM60207, the STCW 2010 (Manila Amendments) and Table A-III/1 and AIII/2 of the STCW code.
