Technical Challenges in Ice Operations
Posted on January 7th 2008 | By admin
Attend this seminar to:
* Analyse requirements for ice-class vessels and vessel operation in extremely cold climates
* Examine design principles for different propulsion solutions
* Explore technical developments for different vessel types
* Develop an understanding of ice loads and the interaction of research and development
* Understand the special considerations for deck equipment and machinery in low temperatures
* Hear about the latest developments in navigation instrumentation, routing and ice information
* Participate in interactive discussion on the key issues raised in the presentations
Featuring:
* Interactive session on propulsion in ice operations
* Discussion forum on the development of navigation related instrumentation
Why you should attend:
The maritime industry is experiencing increased opportunities to operate in ice and cold climates as the search for energy sources in remote areas expands. Alongside this increase in activity is an appreciation of the technical challenges that the maritime industry is facing in order to design, build and operate ships and offshore facilities in such harsh environments.
This two day seminar will give participants an understanding of the main technical requirements related to constructing and operating ice-going vessels and vessels operating in extremely cold conditions. In particular the seminar will:
* analyse the requirements for ice-classed vessels and vessels operating in harsh environments
* discuss the technical developments for vessels operating in ice conditions (propulsion, hull design, navigation equipment)
* examine lessons learnt from those with experience in operating in ice conditions
* include case study workshops to discuss technical developments and operating procedures
With an emphasis on case studies and facilitated discussions delegates can put their new knowledge to active use. Places are limited to ensure delegates benefit from personalised tuition. Book now to avoid disappointment!
