RESILIENT SHIP DESIGN against under water and above water threats

FOR WHOM?

The main purpose of the course is to learn the basics of designing against modern above water and underwater threats in a cost and mass effective way. The course is specifically focused on early design stages in which crucial decisions have to be made within short periods of time. Participants will learn the principles of ship survivability, so that they are able to design themselves, to communicate with specialists or to judge an underwater shock problem or above water threat. The knowledge can also be
applied to upgrade ships for new threats.

FOR WHOM?

The course is aimed at:

−− Survivability experts
−− Designers of naval vessels
−− Naval ship manufacturing industry
−− Managers of new naval projects
−− Project engineers who make specifications of naval equipment and installations
−− Engineers who monitor naval building or upgrade projects
−− Those responsible for technical procurement
