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:

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)

Methods of monitoring quality that ensure acquisition of exit competences:

Students individually work on practical assignments and make necessary reports. Assignment results are commented with the students. By interaction with the students during lectures, by asking questions, the continuity of the comprehension of teaching content is checked and so as acquisition of competencies and skills in accordance with the learning outcomes.

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

After successful attendance of this course the student will be able to: - Connect ship arrangement with cargo features. - Classify the ship equipment according to type of cargo and ship type. - Analyze fire and navigation equipment in accordance with the requirements of the rules of classification societies. - Compose a list of required lifesaving equipment. - Calculate the required parameters for ventilation, heating, cooling and air-conditioning in the living areas of the ship. - Calculate the required parameters for ventilation, heating, cooling and air-conditioning systems in the engine room. - Categorize fire resistance of ship bulkheads and decks. - Verify the system parts for liquid cargo according the required flows for the given necessary time of cargo unloading / loading. - Arrange in accordance to the ship type anchoring and mooring equipment.
