Noise and Vibration Design of Vessels – A Case Study of the OLLIS Class Ferries (original) (raw)

Day 1 Wed, September 27, 2023

Abstract

A ship is a complex system that utilizes multiple mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems during its operation. All these systems can generate noise and vibration, which if not properly addressed during design and construction may cause passenger and crew discomfort, safety issues related to degradation in voice communications, and even structural damage. The noise and vibration generated by a ship is a direct reflection of the quality of the design and construction of the vessel; lower noise and vibration environments will improve passenger experiences, improve quality of life and retention of the crew, and increase mission effectiveness. However, a vessel’s noise and vibration do not need to be left to chance. Engineering tools and processes can be used throughout the vessel’s design and construction which will produce a vessel with low noise and vibration. This paper presents a case study of the three new Staten Island OLLIS Class Ferries built by Eastern Shipbuilding Group...
