Title: How a Ship Like Ocean Star Works
Post by: TerryRussell on August 02, 2008, 20:00:34

Pieter Bolen has written an 84 page report on the workings of "Zuiderdam", a vessel very much of the "Ocean Star" type.

In this report, he goes through the entire workings of the ship, covering things such as

• Layout
   -Hull,
   - Bridge,
   - Engine Control Room,
   - Engine Room,
   - Passenger and Crew accommodation, etc)
  
• The functions of all personnel from Captain, through all officers abd crew including Hotel and Hospital functions
• A complete breakdown of all equipment
• A description of the work of Maritime Officers in the Deck Department and Technical Operation and Technical Maintenance Departments

Once you read this, you'll have some understanding of the complexities of a large vessel. Well worth the read!

You can download this report from the "Freebies" section of the Creators Forum. This is a large file (6MB+).

Pieter, I REALLY enjoyed reading this. Thank you!

Hi Denis.

Yes I saw the application and processed it straight away. It is a most fascinating report. I really would recommend it to anyone who is interested in how a ship functions.

I believe Pieter produced this as part of his Officer training on the vessel. I trust he got an excellent grade for this!
