Naval Architecture Short Course: Fundamentals for Floating Structures

Naval Architecture Short Course:

Fundamentals for Floating Structures

organised by

Society of FLOATING SOLUTIONS (Singapore)

In view of the Covid-19 outbreak and raising of the DORSCON to ORANGE status in Singapore, the Society has decided that it is in the best interest of all parties to reschedule the course to a later date, probably in 2H 2020, or when the situation allows us to conduct the course. The Society will monitor the situation and communicate the revised schedule for the course conduct.

Date:	25-26 February 2020 Postponed to 2H 2020
Time:	8:30 am to 5.00 pm (25 Feb 2020) / 9:00 am to 5.00 pm (26 Feb 2020)

Introduction

In this year’s National Day Rally, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong highlighted the effects of climate change and outlined various measures on preparing Singapore for rising sea levels. The Ministry of Environment and Water Resources projected that Singapore’s mean sea levels would rise by up to one metre by 2100; this could, however, occur earlier. Land reclamation has become more challenging year by year and unsustainable. Fortunately, Singapore has about 700 sq km of territorial waters well sheltered by a cluster of Indonesian islands to the south.

We believe this opens up huge opportunities and sustainable alternatives for creation of sea space floating solutions for the future. It would be a great opportunity to learn how floating solutions can contribute to Singapore’s quest for more space, thereby freeing up land for housing etc. and reducing the country’s carbon footprint.

 

Course Objective

The course is specially designed to provide non-maritime and maritime professionals an appreciation of the concepts, principles and design methodologies of floating structures.

Participants will build up a good knowledge of floating structures and acquire better understanding of offshore technologies as well as their applications to offshore infrastructures and floating facilities such as fuel storage, power plants, shipyards, farms, ports, golf courses, bridges, recreation parks and floating cities etc.
