SWZ Maritime's June issue includes a special on hydrodynamics with topics such as a proactive control system to improve the seakeeping behaviour of fast ships, the use of CFD in ship design and creating more space on yacht decks by applying an asymmetrical hull.
Apart from the special, the June issue also features and overview of what ships were built in the Netherlands in 2014. This overview is presented in an infographic. Later this week, we will also publish a list (the "scheepsbouwlijst") composed by SWZ Maritime editor Gerrit J. de Boer showing just what was delivered in 2014 as well as what is in the order books now.
Hoppe Marine
The June issue also contains an article by Hoppe Marine. Hoppe Marine’s systems measure ship motions, conning, dynamic trim and inclination, floating condition and hull deformation on offshore, cargo and cruise vessels. The company’s passive roll damping tanks and anti-heeling systems keep ships upright and support quick and safe loading operations in port and offshore. They reduce roll amplitudes even in slow steaming conditions and suppress parametric rolling. The article in SWZ Maritime discusses these systems in detail.
