RESILIENT SHIP DESIGN COURSE

AGAINST UNDER WATER AND ABOVE WATER THREATS

13-16 MAY 2014 AMSTERDAM

TNO has developed a combined programme for their leading courses on resilient design against underwater and above water threats. Four days of in depth and valuable theory will be combined with demonstrations and examples of implementation from industry.

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 Classification society

PURPOSE OF THE COURSE 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.
