The phrase “stiff and tender ship” is not a common expression or idiom in English. It’s possible that you might be referring to two separate concepts related to ships: stiffness and tenderness. Let me explain each of these terms in the context of naval architecture and ship design. stiff and tender ship- Complete details 1. […]
Sheer strake is a term used in ship construction to describe the uppermost strake of the side shell plating. A strake is a section of plate placed in fore and aft direction on the hull of the ship. The shear strake is usually of higher thickness and strength than other strakes, because it can resist […]
A load line survey is a periodic inspection of a ship’s hull and equipment to ensure compliance with the International Convention on Load Lines. The convention aims to prevent overloading and reduce the risk of sinking or capsizing due to structural failure or water ingress. A load line survey is usually conducted every five years […]
Parametric rolling in container ships is a phenomenon that can cause extreme and dangerous roll motions in head or stern seas. It occurs when the natural roll frequency of the ship coincides with the frequency of wave-induced changes in stability, resulting in a resonance effect that amplifies the roll angle. Parametric rolling is more likely […]

Stresses on ship have been discussed here. A ship like other objects is subjected to both stress and strain, and since the size of the ship is large, they serve a great importance. Ship is subject to stress and strain because loading, buoyancy, weather and machinery. All of them have different effect on ship structure. It […]
