Conceptual Naval Engineering

The conceptual design of a ship is an aspect of utmost importance, since it provides a higher level of detail. At TECH, we want to offer you the best education so you can update your knowledge in the field”

The Postgraduate Certificate in Conceptual Naval Engineering is a program of the highest academic level that aims to educate professionals in the field, enabling them to carry out their work with the highest quality and safety requirements. It is a very complete program imparted by professionals with years of experience, and which includes the latest advances in the field. 

Conceptual design is an engineering effort that provides much more detail than preliminary design. It is a second iteration in the design process. For those who think of ship design in terms of the design spiral, it belongs to the second circuit of the spiral, which is intended to converge on a more accurate and improved set of ship characteristics. 

This design must provide sufficient detail to allow verification of the technical and economic feasibility of the vessel. This level of detail is sufficient to make an estimate of construction costs. Typically, this requires the main dimensions, weight estimate, type of main engines and any special features of the vessel, which also significantly affect construction such as cargo handling equipment, tank coatings, stabilization systems, etc. 

Further, it provides details to estimate operating costs, based on information such as crew number, fuel and lube oil consumption, and an estimate of maintenance costs based on equipment. However, it also provides sufficient information to make estimates of revenue generating capacity, based on deadweight or other load capacity estimates and calculations. 

Conceptual design enables assessment of the technical feasibility of the vessel. Compatibility and stowage of cargoes can be verified, the vessel’s ability to operate under various loading conditions, the defined level of automation can be correlated with crew size, and assumed or intended designations. It is, therefore, a highly specialized program that will allow student to increase their capabilities in the field.
