Control of noise and vibration onboard ships is a topic of increasing importance to the international shipbuilding industry. The need for more expertise to reduce or avoid the effects of noise and vibration is a growing international trend.

Netherlands Maritime Technology (NMT) has developed a course in cooperation with TNO and Marin. This course starts June 2016  in Delft, the Netherlands.

Attenuating the Effects of Noise

Priorities are the fast development and implementation of electronics in ship’s equipment, the need for more comfort onboard (especially on cruise vessels and superyachts), increasing environmental awareness and structural damage to ships. During this technical course you will learn more about the principles of onboard noise and vibration and how to attenuate their effects.

The training covers four main topics:

  • Shipboard noise control
  • Shipboard vibration
  • Basic principles of dynamics, vibration and shock
  • Hydrodynamic excitation forces

TNO and Marin

The course is developed in cooperation with the knowledge institutes TNO and Marin, and includes a contribution of Loggers BV. This course is of interest to (project)engineers, naval architects, R&D managers and instructors. Due to its international setting, the course offers participants an opportunity to gain technical, high level knowledge and to network with colleagues, clients and/or suppliers.

  • Dates: 1 and 2 June 2016
  • Location: TNO in Delft (the Netherlands)
  • More information: please visit the NMT website.
