Ships
Ships are a vital element in the modern world. They still carry some 95per cent of trade. In 1994 there were more than 80,000 ships each with
a gross tonnage of 100 or more, representing a gross tonnage of over450 million in total. Although aircraft have displaced the transatlanticliners, ships still carry large numbers of people on pleasure cruises andon the multiplicity of ferries operating in all areas of the globe. Ships,and other marine structures, are needed to exploit the riches of the
deep.

Although one of the oldest forms of transport, ships, their equipment andtheir function, are subject to constant evolution. Changes are driven bychanging patterns of world trade, by social pressures, by technologicalimprovements in materials, construction techniques and control systems,and by pressure of economics. As an example, technology now providesthe ability to build much larger, faster ships and these are adopted to gainthe economic advantages those features can confer.

Lesson Plan No 1- Wind
What Is Wind?; Effect of wind on ship and wave.
The wind is a large-scale movement of air caused bydifferences in atmospheric pressure between localities. Air under high pressure moves toward areas of lowpressure. The greater the difference in pressure, the fasterthe air flows.Strong winds can add to the resistance a ship experiences
and make manoeuvring difficult. Beam wind will make a
ship heel and create waves.
The wave characteristics depend upon the strength ofwind, its duration and the distance over which it acts, whichis called its fetch.

Describing Wind :
Wind is described with direction and speed. The direction of the wind is expressed as the direction from
which the wind is blowing. Winds have different levels of speed, such as breeze and
gale, depending on how fast they blow. The strength of a wind is classified in broad terms by the
Beaufort Wind Scale (Fig.1). The wind velocity varies withheight. Beaufort wind speeds are based on the wind speedat a height of 6m.

Beaufort Scale
The scale is primarily used at sea, but it useful to anyoneinterested in the weather.
In 1805, Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort (of the British Navy)devised the following scale of wind velocity.
The numbers are arranged in sequential order, with a lowvalue zero to a high value of twelve.

Wind Measurement Wind velocities are measured in a horizontal plane, although a definite verticalgust component exists. The term velocity indicates direction and speed,although not all wind velocities measure in both quantities. An anemomete r isused to measure speed and the direction of the wind.

Wind Measurement - continued
Winds are named in accordance with the direction fromwhich they are blowing. E.g. a southerly wind is blowingfrom the south .
Wind direction is measured in a clockwise direction fromNorth, either in 360 o, eg. spanning 45 o, 22.5 o or 11.25 o.

The winds affect the maintenance and decay of wavesystems as well as their generation. Waves are built by thesurface friction between the wind and the water or sea.
A short, sharp blow will cause steep, but shallow wavesknown colloquially as a chop .
A wind of longer duration will build up longer, larger wavesthat are less steep and less inclined to break.
There are three basic wind forms experienced aroundcoastline ; frontal wind, pressure wind and land and seabreezes.

FRONTAL WIND
warm front
Frontal wedging : When a warm air mass and a cold air mass collide, you get a front .Remember how low-pressure warm air rises and cold high-pressure air moves into its place?
The same reaction happens here, except the two forces slam into each other. The cold airforms a wedge underneath the warm air, allowing it to basically ride up into the troposphereon its back and generate rain cloud s. There are four main kinds of fronts, classified by airflowmomentum. In a warm front , a warm air mass moves into a cold air mass. In a cold front , theopposite occurs. In a stationary front , neither air mass advances. Think of it as two frontsbumping into each other by accident. In an occluded front , a cold front overtakes a movingwarm front, like an army swarming over a fleeing enemy.

Pressure Winds
Formed by the circulation of air around pressure systems, these are themost common winds of our everyday life. They are fairly predictable in that
they rotate around high and low pressure systems.
On the weather map the isobars, or lines of pressure, indicate theirdirection and approximate intensity:
winds circulating clockwise around a high-pressure system in theNorthern Hemisphere. winds circulating anti-clockwise around a low-pressure system in theNorthern Hemisphere. vice versa in the Southern Hemisphere.

A: Sea breeze, B: Land breeze
Lake - Sea breeze and atmospheric depth
A sea-breeze (or onshore breeze ) is a wind from the sea that develops over land nearcoasts. It is formed by increasing temperature differences between the land and waterwhich create a pressure minimum over the land due to its relative warmth and forceshigher pressure, cooler air from the sea to move inland. Generally, air temperature getscooler relative to nearby locations as one moves closer to a large body of water. [1]

Global Winds
There are regular winds around the world. Some blow the same way allyear round such as the Roaring Forties south of Australia. Others
change their direction depending upon the season. These winds are verystrong and are collectively called trade winds because they have beenused by trading ships for thousands of years.
In the days of sailing ships, winds were essential, and sailing with the
wind behind you was much quicker and easier than trying to sail into astrong head wind.
The same principal still applies today even though the engine drivenships do not rely on wind power. However modern ships are so large andhave such high square profiles that strong winds have a huge effect onfuel consumption and time taken for a trip. This affects the costs of the
journey and in an industry where profit is all important, it is fundamentalfor all ship owners and masters to be aware of the global winds.
8/12/2019 LDD 10102 Secewewrewtion 1 Marine Environment Rev SHO

This creates cell-like patterns of wind around the world, as seenin the diagram to the left.
However, winds do not simply blow in straight lines from north tosouth. Instead, they are bent by the spinning of the Earth:
to the right north of the equator, andto the left in the south.

Wind is a vital resource. It turns generators that power cities, provides opportunitiesfor sport, and is affects commerce as ships sail from port to port. Understanding theglobal wind patterns can be both advantageous and necessary for industry that
depend on the wind's energy. To understand the global wind patterns it is best to firstview the Earth as a fixed (non rotating) planet.

Lesson Plan No 2- WaveWaves
Seawater is effectively incompressible so its density does notvary with depth as such. The density of water varies withtemperature and salinity; as does its kinematic viscosity. Thedensity of seawater increases with increasing salinity.
The term 'sea waves' is applied to waves generated locally by awind. When waves travel out of the generation area they arecalled swell waves . Waves carry energy and are random inheight, length, and direction. The wave form depends upon depthof water, current and local geographical features .
All deep sea waves follow the same shape regardless of otherdifferences. That shape is a trochoid . A trochoid is defined as thecurve traced by a point fixed on a circle as the circle rolls along astraight line . The standard wave form is a trochoidal wave and itis used for all naval architecture and ship structure calculations.

Trochoidal Wave Form
The waves travel is not due to bodily movement of the whole massof water, but is simply constant rotation of points in circles in definitepositions. This motion applies to every particle in the wave, and isthe reason why any floating platform can be unstable.

Waves - continued
The following definitions are used in describing a wave:
Speed or Velocity (V) usually expressed in knots is the speed at which individual waves travel.
Length (L)
is the horizontal distance between successive crests or successivetroughs.
Period or Time (T) expressed in seconds is the time interval required for the passage of
successive crests or successive troughs past given point.
Height (H) is the vertical distance between the top of a crest and the bottom of atrough.

The appearance of a roughsea holds little promise that
the effect of waves on thebehaviour of a ship can bepredicted with any degree ofcertainty.
There are two very important
effects causing this problem,one, that waves cause a shipto roll and pitch and the other,that waves break on board.
These will affect ship motions,shipping water, structuralloading and loss of shipspeed.

Tides
Tide is a flow of a large mass of the sea due to a rise in sea level, which iscaused by the gravitational effect of the sun and the moon on the earth.The moon exerts about twice the pull of the sun since it is so much nearerto the earth. The amount of attraction varies inversely as the square of the
distance, and the moon attracts the part of the earth, which is nearest to itmore strongly than the parts, which are farthest away.
When the earth, sun and moon are in line their combined pull producesthe largest movement of the water, the spring tides. When the three
bodies are at right angles this gives the smallest movement, the neaptides. This happen fortnightly intervals.

Current
A current is defined as a body of water moving in a certaindirection. Currents, like tides, are controlled by thegravitational forces of the moon and the sun. In summersome currents will flow in one direction, then in winter theywill flow the opposite direction.
Throughout the worlds oceans, there are a number ofsignificant currents which have been used by ships forthousands of years. Vikings and ancient greeks knew thetimes of year to travel with the currents and make theirsailing/rowing much easier. Modern ship owners use thesame information to allow for more economical travel.
Fishermen throughout time have also used the currents fortheir benefit. Fish, large and small, follow the currents astheir food sources are also carried along by the currents.

Icebergs
The immersed volume of an iceberg is always greater than
the volume above the water and increases with the age ofthe ice. Only 10% of the real size can be seen on the surfaceof the water and the other part remains under surface ofwater.
The effects of iceberg on maritime activity include: Sea level / tides the melted ice will increase the sea
volume so the sea level will increase flooding the lowarea nearby.

All materials including metals deteriorate. Some deteriorate faster than others,while some deteriorate more than others. This gradual process of deteriorationor degradation is called corrosion and it affects the metals used in shipconstruction. All metals will corrode on contact with water and air. Effective coating andminimisation strategies are essential to the shipbuilding industry and theeffective life-span of the components they manufacture.
The reduction or minimisation of corrosion is of vitally significant in determining the

Drilling for oil in the sea became a commercial necessity as the land supplies of oilbecame restricted. Drilling ships and rigs firstly sunk bores to establish the supply. The
drilling platform does not sit on the seabed but floats on submerged tanks at the end oflegs at each corner of the platform.
Propellers all around the rig connect to satellite positioning equipment keep the shipabove the bore hole to an accuracy of a few meters. Although in heavy seas drilling mustbe stopped.When the rig is drilling in a water level of several hundred meters this would beconsidered a very accurate positioning system. When oil has been located the well headmust be tapped to allow the drilling rig to move on.
This is done by capping the well head on the sea bed with a device known as aChristmas tree. The Christmas tree is simply a manifold with several valves constructedof stainless steel
