Noise Control Engineering, LLC’s Post

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

If podded propellers are involved, operating electrically by the chopped IGBT artificial AC - that will be the most severe noice source onboard. URN (Underwather Radiated Noise) will be very high as well as the EMI for instance. This should be well known from previous POD cases such as the norwegian KV Svalbard having Azipods.

I think it’s also important to remember that noise control is beneficial not just for those on board the ship, but also the marine life and surrounding ecosystems. Especially when we know how much of an impact shipping noise has on cetaceans, pinnipeds, etc.

Great to have NCE contributing to team MPV!
