    Have you ever wondered why ships are so slow? There are several factors affecting the ship speed in the sea which makes the massive cargo ship slow. Two important factors which are explained in this video are Power to Weight Ratio and Ship Resistance.
    You will also learn how ship speed is calculated onboard ship and the unit of the ship speed. This video explains different techniques which are used today to measure the ship speed including the ship GPS system.
    We will also see how the ancient seafarers used to measure the speed of the ship without any electronic instruments, as done in today's world.
    Different types of ships have different service speeds.
    Bulk Carriers - 13 to 15 knots
    Container Ships - 16 to 24 knots
    Oil and chemical tankers - 13 to 17 knots
    RORO vessels - 16 to 22 knots
    Cruise Ships - 20 to 25 knots
    Different types of ships have different drafts, different cargo, different design and hence accordingly different service speed.

    Great tutorial videos ...even a layman like me can understand about marine vessel and system

    Thanks. While summarizing, I studied a lot.
    00:29 How ship speed is measured
    00:49 Knot origin, historically
    02:05 Nowadays, GPS.
    02:53 Or, Doppler shift or CVL is used, using ocean floor and sonar
    03:43 Why ships are slow?
    05:00 Ship's power is strong but speed is low
    05:05 Slow speed due to Power to Weight ration, Ship resistence
    05:42 It just holds more
    06:41 There's force against the water
    06:55 3 types of resistance
    06:60 frictional resistance
    07:07 hull part contact
    07:11 Frictional. It takes 60~80%, for low speed ships.
    07:22 For high speed ship such as container, roro, passenger, takes 40~60%
    07:40 Residual when generating wave. 10~30% for low speed ship, 40~65 for high speed ship.
    08:08 Air thing is small
    08:17 Factors affecting ship speed
    08:31 Factors - displacement of ship. how it afloats. Draft dicreases when low qty of container
    09:09 Sea weather condition
    09:28 Condition of hull and propeller
    09:46 Main engine failure
    10:04 Regulation of ship speed
    10:35 12-19 Kn due to fuel efficiency, where 20-24 Kn is actually possible.

  • @tycondero1647
    @tycondero1647 3 роки тому +1

    Can you explain a bit the relationship between engine power, ship speed and displacement? Is it true that ships with a bigger displacement can reach higher speeds for less power/ton than a smaller ship? Is this due to the wave effect?

  • @dglebov
    @dglebov 3 роки тому

    The speed of the vessel is a function of LWL. The longer the fadter. Then there are propulssion factors and hull shape that is reflected in the original formula by the use of constant coefficients.
    All is set by the Mechanics of the fluids.

    I'm suprised fast they are. I have sailing simulators & like in real life. All the ships can go faster than most of the smaller boats.
    In some cases much faster, they take a long time to get going or bring to a stop & I'm away i real life, it takes even longer on real ships.
    The smaller boats I'm talking about are sail boats under motor & trawlers & small motor dinghys. Several can only manage 8-10 knots under power.
    Even the passenger liners of the early 1900s are much faster than that.
    To achieve their mid 20 Knots, you'll need a fully planing boat.

    Earth dia is D=12730m..
    So circumference is πD= 40003m
    360degrees in a circle.... So
    40003/360=111.1 m for 1 deg
    1deg = 60 min ...
    111.1/60= 1852 metres...ie 1knot..
    So consider Jupiter, which is very big planet,... So 1 knot in Jupiter must be larger.... Isn't it?

    Ships arent that slow some ships can go 35 mph and that's faster than any human can run

    • @marineinsight
      @marineinsight  4 роки тому +1

      Agree. However, we are comparing it with other modes of transportation fitted with engine.

    • @seanpruitt5804

      Ships can go 35 mph some can but not all but company’s won’t run them that fast because its to expensive

    • @marineinsight
      @marineinsight  4 роки тому +2

      That is true Sean. Slow steaming is the term used for the same.

    • @AnishW
      @AnishW 4 роки тому +1

      Considering ships are primarily used for cargo transportation, if we compare with other transportation methods the ship is very slow.

    • @marineinsight

      There are many reasons and superstitions behind it. The term "Ship" is known as "Navis" in Latin; which is a Feminine Gender. Also, it is believed religiously that goddess or mother figure plays an important role in human life and protect them from any misfortune.

      We said He in spanish (El).
      And that is because we called ' el buque' to the ship.
