In the last decade, a number of new technologies has been developed to investigate the ocean environment by measuring different types of parameters among which ambient noise represents an important piece of information. The need for silent and autonomous vehicles moved the attention of scientist in the employment of underwater gliders as well...

The Lloyd's mirror effect is an acoustic effect taking place when a source of noise moves parallel to a reflecting surface. In the case of ships, the underwater sources of noise, mainly the propeller, are at constant depth, i.e. a constant distance, from the free surface that can be considered a perfectly reflecting surface. In such a...

This paper reports a study on the uncertainties in assessing loading conditions of handy size bulk carriers. Loading conditions and the corresponding hull girder still-water loads are important for the safety of bulk carriers. Unfortunately, statistical studies on this topic remain very few, partly because of the difficulty in fully...

A new integrated method for the preliminary design of a fleet of ships for a new trade is presented. Data from two apparently separate types of analysis, based on logistics and naval architecture, are merged within an integrated logistics-fleet design framework. The procedure carries out a preliminary screening of the design space based on...
