Our Naval Architecture course offers the opportunity to acquire and apply essential theories and principles related to ship design at an intermediate level of comprehension.

This course is suitable for a wide range of professionals, including:

1. Engineers: Marine engineers, newbuilding engineers, repair engineers, offshore engineers, structural engineers, mechanical engineers, and civil engineers who can benefit from understanding the fundamental concepts of ship design and construction.
2. Shipyard and dry dock personnel: Individuals working in shipyards and dry docks who need to comprehend the role of naval architecture in ship construction and repair.
3. Project managers, consultants, surveyors, and related roles: Professionals involved in project management, consulting, surveying, and other allied positions who wish to enhance their theoretical and practical knowledge of ship design and construction.
4. Legal, regulatory, and insurance professionals: Individuals working in legal, regulatory, and insurance roles within Classification Societies, P&I Clubs, Maritime Authorities, and Flag States who seek to develop their understanding of naval architecture.
5. Other associated roles: Sales and marketing personnel, commercial managers, estimators, and purchasing personnel who can benefit from a deeper knowledge of ship design and construction relevant to their respective responsibilities.

What you will learn:

1. The interplay and integration of naval architecture with other mechanical engineering disciplines.
2. The principles related to a ship’s equilibrium and the factors influencing it.
3. Proficiency in conducting stability assessments, both at small and large angles.
4. Understanding the different forces exerted on a ship during movement and their overall interaction with the environment.
5. Definition and significance of screw propeller geometry and its impact on torque and thrust.
