Encyclopedia of Ship Knowledge

Includes CD with a large number of appendixes.

An essential guidebook for naval architects and shipowners interested to create significant ships. Written and edited by Jan Babicz, the former Chief Designer of Gdańsk Shipyard, Bureau Veritas Expert in Poland and Taiwan, the head of Hermann Buss GmbH supervision team in China. 

The book is primarily intended for both: practicing ship designers and for shipowners’ representatives participating in design of a new ship offering them some fundamental background. It is also relevant for naval architecture and marine engineering students and lectures.

This book makes no attempt to teach scientific naval architecture. Its main purpose is to give practical guidelines to create a significant ship or to participate in design process in a responsible way. Contrary to books written by authors with an academic background this book contains a lot of practical drawings which can be used for new designs. Photos are another important part of the book. It consists of five parts:


Part 1 describes a standard Ship Design Process with some examples.
Part 2 consists of Guidelines on Ship Arrangement and some examples.
Part 3 describes anchoring, mooring and life-saving equipment.
Part 4 discusses some of the safety problems.
Part 5 deals with basic knowledge of ship resistance, model tests, screw propellers, various types of rudders and power saving devices.

Paper cover, A4 format, 352 pages, 355 colourful photos, 120 drawings and diagrams. In addition appendixes containing 6 worked examples of conceptual designs, guidelines and large drawings.
