VESSEL REVIEW: A new research vessel was recently handed over to the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research of New Zealand (NIWA). 'Kaharoa II' was built by Armon Shipyard of Spain to a design by Norwegian naval architecture firm Skipsteknisk to replace an older, slightly smaller similarly named vessel that has been in service for more than 40 years. The onboard facilities include wet and dry laboratories of more than 12 square metres (130 square feet) each, a conference room, and five cabins. The aft deck has a total area of 85 square metres (910 square feet) for the transport of additional equipment. Full article link in comments.

Understanding Ship Trim: A Key Concept in Naval Architecture Maintaining the correct balance of a ship is critical for stability and efficiency. The way weight is distributed onboard impacts the vessel's orientation in the water. Here are three common trim scenarios: 1. Even Keel: The ship is perfectly balanced, with the gravitational and buoyancy forces in equilibrium, keeping the ship level. 2. Trim by Stern: When additional weight is placed at the stern (back) of the ship, it causes the stern to sink, tilting the ship downward at the rear. 3. Trim by Head: When more weight is added at the bow (front), the ship tilts forward, causing the bow to sink lower in the water. Check out the illustration below to better understand how these forces work to affect a ship's stability!

THE PORTUGUESE SCIENTIST KING. HIS MAGESTY DOM João II. The Portuguese maritime epopeya was not by chance, it was based on science and paved the way to the modern Naval Architecture. This picture on ceramic tiles illustrate the first ship experimental tank. Two naval architects discussing their drawings, the king supporting them and a laboratory assistant blowing wind into a caravel model sails. Behind the king an interesting instrument based on the pendulum theory, which was used to correlate the sail area with wind speed and the propulsive sail force. Far away, at sea a great Caravel, and on top of the King's head the astrolabio the amazing Portuguese navigation instrument. This amazing picture belongs to the #LNEC, National Laboratory of Civil Engineering in Lisbon, at one of the doors of the hydraulics labs. TecnoVeritas is following the Portuguese Marine Innovation tradition. #TECNOVERITAS #MarineEngineering #Innovation #DecarbonizationOfShipping #RandDMarineEngineering #MSVascodaGama #ShipRevamping

Part 2: Hideo Izumiyama’s Legacy in #Ship_Propulsion and Global Influence Advancements in Ship Propulsion: Hideo Izumiyama also made significant strides in the field of ship propulsion. He explored the efficiency of different propeller designs, investigating how they interacted with the flow of water. His studies led to innovative solutions for minimizing energy loss and enhancing propulsion systems, a critical advancement for both naval and commercial shipping industries. International Recognition: Izumiyama’s work gained international acclaim as his theories were adopted by naval architects and engineers worldwide. His contributions were particularly valued during the post-war period when global shipbuilding was undergoing rapid modernization. His publications became standard references in marine engineering education and research. Legacy and Influence: Hideo Izumiyama’s influence continues to resonate in the fields of hydrodynamics and ship design. His work laid the foundation for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools used today, bridging theoretical research with practical applications. Engineers around the world still rely on his principles to design efficient, sustainable ships for modern maritime challenges. Conclusion: Hideo Izumiyama’s legacy is one of innovation and global impact. By combining rigorous research with practical applications, he revolutionized ship hydrodynamics and propulsion, shaping the future of naval architecture. #IzumiyamaLegacy

Think Outside the Box: Unconventional Solutions for Big Problems 💡 Did you know a shipmaker saved the Golden Gate bridge?🚢⚒ The majestic 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐆𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞, a symbol of San Francisco, faces a constant battle against rust. By the 1980s, engineers were worried about the bridge's deteriorating condition from corrosion. Traditional repairs would have cost taxpayers over $𝟏 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 and caused unprecedented traffic chaos. The solution came from an unexpected source: 𝐧𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, the field of designing ships! The team leader, with his knowledge of how ships fight corrosion, proposed a technique called cathodic protection. This involved attaching special metals to the bridge that would corrode instead of the bridge itself, essentially sacrificing themselves to protect the grand structure. This innovative solution, born from the unlikely marriage of bridge engineering and ship design, saved the Golden Gate Bridge and millions of dollars. It's a powerful reminder that 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐮𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝𝐬.
