1. INTRODUCTION

Naval architecture is an engineering field covering the technology in design of ships and
floating structures. The persons having this expertise are called naval architects. To build these
structures, shipbuilders requires design plans and guidelines prepared by naval architects.
Knowledge in naval architecture is used to carry out design calculation and to produce plans
which can be used by the shipyards.
A Naval Architect works to determine the size and shape of a ship tailored to its intended use.
In addition, he estimates its stability, propulsive power as well as calculates the size and strength
of its structure and the impact of waves on the vessel. The types of machinery and equipment
to be installed, materials to be used and layout of ship are also determined based on naval
architectural knowledge.
