Legal and economic aspects connected with generating electricity from waves are discussed and a classification of wave energy converters is shown. The study discusses selected technical solutions generating electricity from sea and ocean waves. Research directions of the Maritime University of Szczecin, Poland, are presented in terms of energy conversion from wave energy into electricity and using...
The introduction to the Fault Tree Analysis has been presented in this article. Selected publications on the Fault Tree Analysis have been listed. The usefulness of the method in marine engineering application has been indicated. Reliability testing facility has been presented, that is typical two-stroke, slow-speed ship crosshead Diesel engine intended to power the ship. The way of creating system...
The system of port waterways has been defined herein as a composition of three subsystems: approach area (port basin), quay and its equipment, navigational (determination of ship position and speed). Besides, the author defines the state vector of conditions for safe operation of berthing ships. Described are interrelations between parameters of port waterway system and the state vector of safe operation...
This article draws attention to the problems of maintaining fuel injection pumps of marine diesel engines in the conditions of use of residual fuels whose quality is steadily deteriorating, and also burned under engine’s reduced load and in situations where the international rules require a temporary change over into distillate fuels. The analysis of tribological processes occurring in hydraulic precision...
Seas and oceans show variations in water levels caused by tides and continuous flow of water in the form of sea and ocean currents. Tides are most visible close to the coastline – tide parameters (water speed or change in sea level) allow construction of installations producing electric energy. Sea currents – superficial and deep are characterized by means of constant speeds and directions. Therefore...
Wind is such an element of sea environment, from which it is relatively easy to obtain energy. Wind parameters over both seas and oceans are more favorable than those on land (due to variability of landform features). Moreover, also sea wind turbines exercise comparatively smaller negative effect on people than on land. Therefore, sea wind farms are ahead of us, as further development of wind energy...
While the ship is sailing on waves the relative motions occur which result in propeller emergence, and as a consequence – propeller thrust reduction which results in a decrease in the ship’s speed. Propeller emergence is also accompanied by the decrease in torque values, with which the propeller affects the marine engine. The article presents a simplified method for calculating the decrease in torque...
The author discusses the impact of hydro-meteorological factors on the safety of fishing vessels through the presentation and discussion of the events that have taken place on the Polish fishing ships in the area of the Baltic Sea. Because it is not possible to compare the hydro-meteorological conditions on the ocean with the conditions of the closed sea, what is the Baltic Sea – the author has limited...
Seas and oceans occupy approx. 71% of the Earth. On their surface wave action of stronger or weaker magnitude can be observed throughout a major part of the year. Wind-generated wave action contains energy, which can be retrieved and used for electrical current production. The paper shows what energy is contained in wind-generated waves on various ocean areas, presents dynamics of water movement in...
The scope of this article is to analyze and evaluate the activity of the companies providing placement services for seafarers in Poland. For the intended purpose the study of legal conditions of employment of seafarers on ships was conducted – both national legislation and implemented in August 2013 Maritime Labour Convention (MLC 2006). Farther examination were subjected number and range of activity...
The article presents the technical aspects of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and Digital Surface Model (DSM) built on the basic of Very High Resolution (VHR) data to create orthophotomap in a rapid mapping mode. The final part of the paper is accuracy assessment of orthophotomap built on the same elevation models which were used in a rapid mapping way. In the article were using aerial photography’s...
Ships’ hull usually works in a hard environment caused by static forces and permanent dynamic loads. Modeling of dynamical reactions could bring information to the designer for recognizing the level of hazard for hull structure and propulsion system. A paper presents a proposal of identification of a degree of hazard the ships hull forced from underwater explosion. A theoretical analysis was made...
