Maritime Systems aims to develop students’ understanding of the key systems on board maritime platforms. Students will learn to explain, predict performance and select components for integrated systems including powering systems, hydraulic systems, instrumentation and control systems, and emerging power sources such as fuel cells and alternative fuels. The knowledge gained in this unit will be...

This unit continues the development of fundamental fluid mechanics and ocean wave mechanics equations including the application of analytical and computational methods for the analysis of fluid flows.  Students will critically evaluate practical flows and emerging fields of applied hydrodynamics such as cavitation and extreme waves. The unit lays a foundation for the more detailed analysis of...

This unit focuses on the design of offshore energy infrastructure, exposing students to practical design considerations, issues, and processes. It consolidates and expands on knowledge in mooring system design, fixed and floating offshore structure design, ocean wave mechanics, and resource characterization. Emphasizing the application of this prior knowledge to practical design, the unit will...

Maritime Design and Production aims to develop students’ knowledge in the design and production of maritime infrastructure. Students will explore all stages of the project lifecycle from response to tender, design conception, manufacturing and delivery and finally decommissioning. Students will also be taught methods for the evaluation of financial feasibility and development of technical...
