Introduction into the ship outfit: division, development and achievement, design requirement, economic calculations and time spent at the port depending on the ship equipment. Characteristics of cargo and types of merchant ships (general cargo ship, tanker, bulk carrier, containership, RoRo ship). Understanding of ship equipment systems with scope that students after graduating can participate in ship design.

Student responsibilities:

Active following lectures and work on individual assignments.

Grading and evaluation of student work over the course of instruction and at a final exam:

Continuous monitoring of the work and dedication through the lectures. Evaluation of colloquium results, individual assignments and final exam. Total course mark percentage summary: Ship outfit individual assignments 1, 2 & 3 30% of mark Colloquium 1 and 2 ( or written exam) 40% of mark Oral exam 30% of mark Total 100% Course grading for the final mark 50% - 60% 2 (satisfactory) 61% - 75% 3 (good) 76% - 90% 4 (very good 91% - 100% 5 (excellent)

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to (learning outcomes):

1 . Recognize spatial representations of the ship with cargo characteristics.

2 . Choose ship equipment according to cargo and ship types.

3 . Describe fire-fighting and navigation equipment following the requirements of the rules of classification societies.

4 . List the requirements of the rescue equipment.

5 . Apply the necessary parameters for ventilation, heating, cooling, and air conditioning in the living quarters of the ship and ship's engine room.

6 . Adapt the fire safety of bulkheads and decks on ships.

7 . Give examples of devices for liquid cargo concerning the required flows and the required time of unloading/loading of cargo.

8 . Select anchoring devices and mooring devices according to the type of ship.
