le Poole, Joan (author)The Defence Materiel Organisation found that using a design margin to estimate required space for logistic systems (e.g. staircases, hallways) during the concept exploration design phase is insufficient and impractical. A more educated estimation of required space for logistic systems is hard, because the configuration of systems is varied...master thesis 2018

Analysis of evacuation performance of early stage ship designs using a Markov-Decision-Process modelJoustra, Redmer (author)This thesis research is conducted on behalf of the Delft University of Technology and Bureau Veritas Rotterdam BV, and the goal is to improve ship evacuation by analyzing this aspect early on in the design process. First, this summary will provide a background on the difficulties involved with the ship evacuation process . Next, an explanation...master thesis 2018

de Bruijn, Dirk (author)European shipyards are building increasing amounts of complex ships such as off-shore, dredging or naval ships that are engineered-to-order. The block division is made when only preliminary hull structural design, functional compartments and the location of major equipment are known. The existing production scheduling optimization algorithms use...master thesis 2017

Nijhoff, Joost (author)Two important trends can be witnessed in the world of superyachts. Firstly, the luxury landscape is shifting from collecting tangible assets to pursuing exclusive tailor-made experiences. The second trend is the electrification and the use of batteries on superyachts. Due to the increase of emission restrictions, there is more interest towards...master thesis 2017

van den Akker, Joan (author)Worldwide, drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are required to keep climate change to a more or less acceptable level. As of yet, the shipping industry has found no solution to this problem: it is expected that international shipping will be stuck with fossil fuels for the coming decades. <br/>A promising way to tackle the problem is...master thesis 2017

van Leeuwen, Simon (author)All ships rely on many on board systems to reliably complete their missions (e.g. transporting containers, laying pipes or protecting the seas). However, for many of these ships, the detailed design of these systems is put off until the later stages of the design. For most ships, this will create no problems. However, for those complex vessels...master thesis 2017

van Haalen, N.P. (author)Public version - Challenging offshore fields in harsh environments and poor infrastructure call for sophisticated Floating Production Storage and Offloading solutions. Conventional conversions provided the bulk of these platforms in the past, but their limits are pushed as demand for larger facilities and capacity increases the value of new...master thesis 2017

Geertsma, R.D. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Visser, K. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author)The recent trend to design more efficient and versatile ships has increased the variety in hybrid propulsion and power supply architectures. In order to improve performance with these architectures, intelligent control strategies are required, while mostly conventional control strategies are applied currently. First, this paper classifies...review 2017

van der Zalm, M. (author)Additive manufacturing, colloquially known as 3D printing, is a production process that offers possibilities compared to conventional production methods. Current methods involve shaping or removing of material to create parts, where additive manufacturing adds material. Several industries have successfully implemented the technology showing...master thesis 2016

Duchateau, E.A.E. (author)Preliminary ship design (or early stage design in US terminology) is the very first step in designing a new ship. In this stage ship designers attempt to find an affordable balance of the future owner's (customer or operator) ambitions and operational needs. This balance is then translated into more tangible design requirements. However, the...doctoral thesis 2016

(author)This paper introduces a novel decision-making framework for planning lifecycle compliance of ballast water treatment by applying eigenvalue spectral analysis<br/>to the ship-centric Markov decision process (SC-MDP) framework. This method focuses on identifying the relationships of various decision making scenarios, and how those relationships...conference paper 2016

Kana, A.A. (author), Singer, D.J. (author)This paper introduces a means of performing a ship egress analysis by applying eigenvalue analysis to the ship-centric Markov decision process (SC-MDP) framework. This method focuses on how people egress, the decisions they make under uncertainty, and the interaction between the individuals and the layout of the vessel. The objective is to...conference paper 2016
