van Veldhuizen, Berend (author)Global endeavors to reduce emissions in the shipping industry are accelerating the interest in fuel cell systems. This paper explores the application of different fuel cell types (LT-PEMFC, HT-PEMFC and SOFC) in combination with different fuels (LH2, LNG,MeOH and NH3) in expedition cruise ships. An impact model is developed for the first design...master thesis 2020

Habben Jansen, A.C. (author)Naval ships are designed to operate in hostile environments. As such, vulnerability reduction is an important aspect that needs to be assessed during the design. With the increased interest in electrification and automation on board naval ships, the vulnerability of distributed systems has become a major topic of interest. However, assessing...doctoral thesis 2020

van Diessen, Martijn (author)Naval ships need to be able to conduct missions in a variety of circumstances. This includes the ability to fulfil specific tasks in a damaged state. Vulnerability reduction measures are taken during the early stage distributed ship system design process, to ensure the availability of the required systems in damaged state. Traditionally these...master thesis 2020

Zwaginga, Jesper (author)To decrease Europe’s harmful emissions, the European Union aims to substantially increase its offshore wind energy capacity. To further develop offshore wind energy, investment in ever-larger construction vessels is necessary. Designing these vessels is difficult however, as this market is characterised by a large but seemingly unpredictable...master thesis 2020

van der Weg, Hedde (author)Traceability in complex ship design involves keeping track of the evolving relations between need, requirements and design. Such traceability is not fully developed in the current design process at DMO due to divisions in the design process and between design tools. This thesis proposes to use a single information model to facilitate...master thesis 2020

Maartens, Jonas (author)Damen Shipyards Gorinchem has found deficiencies in the process of developing concept designs of Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs). There is a need to increase the efficiency of this process, meaning that (1) the speed has to be increased, (2) the accuracy of designs has to be increased and (3) the risk of deviations of the project plan has to be...master thesis 2020

Habben Jansen, A.C. (author), Duchateau, E.A.E. (author), Kana, A.A. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author)Vulnerability reduction is an important topic during the design of naval ships because they are designed to operate in hostile environments and because their on-board distributed systems are becoming increasingly complex. The vulnerability needs to be addressed in the early design stages already, in order to prevent expensive or time...journal article 2020

Pruyn, J.F.J. (author), van Grootheest, I.V. (author), Lafeber, Frans Hendrik (author), Scholtens, Marco (author)Stricter regulations for shipping on theemission to air and waterare introduced. To deal with this,a part of the Horizon2020 NAVAIS project is devoted to the identification of relevant regulations and the design of a tool to select the optimal combination of abatement options to achieve or go beyond the limits set by these regulations. Itis an...conference paper 2020

Charisi, Nicole (author)This thesis aims in the development of a parametric modelling method for the preliminary ship design based on Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE). The research work was conducted in cooperation with C-Job Naval Architects. Nowadays, parametric models can be seen as the core of the design practice since they facilitate the exploration of the...master thesis 2019

de Gaaij, Andreas (author)Five naval support vessels are being replaced. For this replacement two focus points are important. The first one concerns creating more unity within the fleet, achieved by using the hull geometry as a monolithic part. The second one concerns the aim to reduce harmful emissions by reducing the effects of the energy transition by minimising the...master thesis 2019

Aguilar Tejero, Fernando (author)Solitaire is a DP positioned pipelay vessel capable of laying pipe up to 3000 meters. Currently, Solitaire is more than 40 years old. Although it has been upgraded multiple times, it has been identified that certain improvement can be achieved by retrofitting just the aft of the vessel. The purpose of the research is to evaluate the feasibility...master thesis 2019

Blanker, Folco (author)This thesis investigated the possibility of alternative ways to loading and offloading flexlay vessels and provides a concept design. This was investigated because currently, the vessels designed by IHC, have to sail back to port to restock on pipes. During this time the expensive pipelayer is not laying pipes and thus not making money for its...master thesis 2019

van Staalduinen, Inge (author)From shallow to deep water, from the well to the ship, from the offshore field to shore or between countries, many kilometres of offshore pipelines for transportation of hydrocarbons (oil and gas) have been installed over the last decades. Allseas’ Tog Mor is a shallow water pipelay barge capable of laying pipes up to a water depth of 25 meters....master thesis 2019

van der Bles, Roel (author)The subject of this master thesis is the development of a design tool to help Vuyk Engineering Rotterdam B.V. arrange the machinery spaces (engine room, switchboard rooms, separator rooms) aboard their vessels early in their design process. It applies the field of automatic design generation to a step in Vuyk’s design process to save time and...master thesis 2019

Sun, Chuan (author)The design of polar expedition cruise ship is not a trivial task to the naval architect due to the complex nature of the ship itself. Concept exploration are hereby required to improve the understanding of the design problem and identify its challenge as well as possible solutions. However, it is always difficult to generate the technically...master thesis 2019

Rotteveel, E. (author)This research focuses on identifying the most important stern shape aspects, with regard to resistance and propulsion power, of inland ships. Such information should help designers to determine which hull form aspect to adjust in case design requirements need them to do so. The information is obtained by firstly conducting a large series of CFD...doctoral thesis 2019

Wever, Ingmar (author)This thesis proposes two methods two solve the challenge of communication between manned and unmannd vessels. The first solution is to avoid communication by staying well clear. The second solution is to develop a protocol based on existing systems and protocols, to facilitate communication between manned and unmanned vessels.master thesis 2018

Mooren, Maurice (author)During the early stages of ship design exploration, design freedom is abundant but problem knowledge is scarce and most costs are already committed. This amounts to an incentive to look at the influences of the requirements on a design, to better understand how a concept is defined. This thesis investigates the operational architecture...master thesis 2018
