In the context of the COLREGs (International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea), the term "port to port" refers to the standard navigational rule where two power-driven vessels approaching each other head-on should pass each other on their respective port (left) sides. This rule helps to avoid collisions by ensuring that each vessel is maneuvering in a predictable manner when they meet head-on. According to Rule 14 of the COLREGs, when two power-driven vessels are meeting head-on, each vessel should alter its course to starboard (right) to pass on the port side of the other vessel.

What Is The Pivot Point Of A Vessel? Maneuvering is the ability of a vessel to turn towards the port or starboard side using the steerage force stemming from the turning of the rudder aft based on diverse requirements. These requirements can be anything like maintaining or changing its desired course of travel, trying to steer clear of an obstruction underway, or approaching a #port or #dock. Maneuvering is a broad topic in naval #architecture or vessel sciences and has been a matter of serious discussion and research for years. Many of us are also aware of the maneuvering trials that take place to assess the turning abilities of a vessel. Before discussing the pivot point of a #vessel, it is crucial to revisit a ship’s ‘turning circle’ maneuver briefly. A turning circle maneuver is when the vessel constantly turns towards a particular direction such that it completes or tends to complete a full circle after some time and returns to its origin or starting point. This is a common aspect of transportation, starting from vehicles like cars or two-wheelers. Similarly, a turning circle is achieved for vessels by simply applying the constant rudder moment towards a particular side. What is a #pivotpoint of a vessel? During stages of turning, the vessel’s turning moment acts about a definitive point of action, which lies on its centre-line, somewhat towards the fore-end or aft end. This kinematic point of action is known as the pivot point of a vessel. 

Seaspan ULC is designing and building a new class of multi-purpose vessels (MPVs) at Vancouver Shipyards for the Canadian Coast Guard/Garde côtière canadienne and Noise Control Engineering is assisting with acoustics. Our work began during the basic design phase with noise and vibration predictions—a forecasting method which gives our client the opportunity to modify the design to correct any noise and vibration issues before the MPVs are built. As the design progresses, NCE is updating prediction results and providing treatment and outfitting recommendations. These noise control efforts will enable greater comfort, communication, and quality of life on board these versatile ships as they maintain Canada’s maritime corridors and provide emergency response throughout the region. #noisecontrolengineering #noiseprediction #acousticdesign #shipbuilding

The first time...An excellent load test!   In 2017, I had the unique opportunity to participate in an unprecedented event in Brazil - a Shiplift Load Test. This wasn’t just any test; it was a challenge of engineering and innovation, pushing the boundaries of what we thought possible.   The task at hand? To simulate the operation of lifting vessels using a recently completed Shiplift at the port of Madeira Island, Rio de Janeiro, a proud asset of the Brazilian Navy. The catch? The load had to be a whopping 7,500 tons, with fully customized cargo, shape, and dimensions.   After exhaustive studies considering dimensional restrictions and the specified load, we decided on using barges. But not just any barges - these were specially recalculated by Tranship to support the weight of the water from the “inside out”. Essentially, each barge was designed to be filled to the brim with water and remain out of the sea, much like a ship in dry docking at a shipyard.   Working in close collaboration with the client’s engineering team (TTS) and Tranship, we carried out detailed studies to determine the optimal position for each support to dock the barges safely. Every resistance frame of each component involved in this operation was considered.   The result? A resounding success! This groundbreaking Shiplift Load Test not only demonstrated our capabilities but also marked a significant milestone in Brazil’s maritime history.   Watch the video and leave your opinion. Have you ever been involved in a similar operation, tell us about your experience. #tranship #shiplift #navalindustry #leadership #productivity #projectmanagement

💡 A fascinating aspect of the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) convention is its historical significance. SOLAS was first adopted in 1914, following the sinking of the RMS Titanic, to improve maritime safety standards. Over the years, SOLAS has undergone numerous revisions and updates to address evolving challenges and advancements in maritime technology. Today, SOLAS sets out comprehensive regulations for the safety of ships and individuals at sea, covering a wide range of topics such as ship construction, fire protection, life-saving appliances, navigation, and more. Its enduring legacy underscores its critical role in enhancing safety standards and preventing maritime accidents worldwide. #International Maritime Organization #SOLAS

In 2023, the IMO MEPC approved the Revised guidelines for the reduction of underwater radiated noise from shipping to address adverse impacts on marine life. These guidelines, which took effect from 1 October 2023, aim to reduce underwater radiated noise from ships and concern particular ship and equipment designers, shipbuilders and shipowners and operators, classification societies, suppliers, manufacturers and other stakeholders.
