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 […]
Watertight Bulkhead is an integral part of the modern ship construction and serves as a strengthening member. It is to be noted that it also gives protection to the ship from any kind of fire or grounding. It won’t let the other compartment fill in case grounding takes places in one part. To simplify this, […]

But before that we need to know what is high or low in shipping industry.As per the norms in the shipping sector, any voltages above 1000 volts are considered high voltage. Slowly […]
Inclining Experiment is discussed in this article which is used to determine the metacentric height of a ship. Metacentric height or GM, is crucial and critical for a ship stability. If the GM of the ship is more, than ship become stiff. This makes ships to roll but come back to original place very fast. […]
