SHORT COURSE DESCRIPTION:
MAREN 001: Marine Pollution and Control
This course allows the students to stay at the forefront of green and sustainable technology advancements. The present environmental health of the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf will be studied along with the need for controlling pollution in these waters. The oil marine transportation effects on marine ecosystems from local, regional and global perspectives along with selected case studies, the types of spill management equipment and technology, dredging and dredged-spoil disposal, Ballast Water Management systems, Zero Discharge system for deck drains, Onboard waste reduction, and recycling programs.
MAREN 002: Marine Engineering Systems and Control
The course starts with a summary of the control concept including comparison between open loop and closed loop systems and examples from practical process fields. Then, control concepts are described on various marine systems that are essential for ships and rigs operation such as motion control, steering, maneuvering, machinery systems and propulsion systems for ships, underwater vehicles and floating marine structures, ballast system, fuel system and cooling system. Moreover, the fire and gas system are taught including the concept of emergency shutdown system ESD and level of control. Student are going to expose to different engineering drawing such as Piping & instrumentation diagram P&ID and Instrument Loop Diagrams ILDs. Finally, illustration of the automation structure short summary of each level and type of control are explained. Related concept are going to pass through shortly that important to understand by control engineer such understanding the difference between the hydraulic and pneumatic systems are explained including practical examples, type of I/O data and main type of measurements that are controlled.
MAREN 003: Design of Fixed Offshore Structures
This course will give the students a background into fixed offshore structures as well as the following related topics: design criteria for environmental conditions, platform shapes and weights, wave forces, member design, joint design, foundation piles, load-out,
transportation, installation, corrosion, and cathodic protection.
MAREN 004: Marine Power and Electrical Systems
This course will explain knowledge about the structure of an electrical power system aboard ships and marine vessels, different electric machines and their uses in shipboard electrical power systems, regulations and specifications for installation, and operation of electrical power systems aboard ships and marine vessels. Also, expose to different battery types, important battery parameters, and developed some knowledge about the practical usage of batteries in ships and marine vessels. The course will also deal with interpreting and
developing a single-line diagram of shipboard electrical power systems, measurements in shipboard electrical power systems
MAREN 005: Principles of the ship and floating structure design
This course will deal with the structural concept of floating structures in terms of function and safety. Stiffened plates which consist of large parts of floating structures will be dealt with in detail, including the structural response of stiffened plates and standards and guidelines. The structural response of stiffened shells will be dealt with in detail including structural reliability. An introduction to the structural design of tanker conversions to the vessel will be dealt with.
MAREN 006: Environmental Sustainability In Marine Technology
This course will introduce the main concepts of International Agreements and Management Requirements, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS 1982), the global standards by the international maritime organization (IMO), the International Convention on the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL). Initial IMO GHG Strategy for the reduction carbon intensity, energy efficiency design index (EEDI) for new ships.
carbon emissions and reduce fuel consumption for ships and offshore structures. Dual Fuel technology for vessels, fuel consumption reduction by using the latest engine designs and scrubber systems. Low VOC paint. green design Hull design improvements to reduce resistance and fuel consumption. The effort to design a green, sustainable shipyard by implementing alternative sources of power, using equipment with lower CO2 emissions.
