Learning outcome
Knowledge:
After completed the course, the student shall know the main principles for analysing a vessels sea-keeping performance and assessing a vessels manoeuvring capabilities.
Skills:
The student shall be able to perform sea-keeping and manoeuvring analyses of a ship by using a computer program like e.g. SHIPX. The student shall be able to evaluate the results from hydrodynamic analyses and/or model test to an extent where they can contribute to improve the sea-keeping or manoeuvring characteristics of a vessel.
General Competence:
The student will have a general understanding of the motion of ships at sea and be familiar with the terminology used in relevant academic and professional discussions of sea-keeping or manoeuvring of a vessel.
Learning methods and activities
Teaching methods:
Class room lectures, homework, mandatory assignments and a project report.
3/4 of the assignments and the project report must be accepted.
