WEEK 2, 3, and 4
VARIOUS PART OF THE SHIP

At the end of the of the lesson, the student shall have been able to:
LO1.2 Distinguish the parts of the ship according to its uses.

LO1.3 Locate the different parts of the ships according to its type.
RUDDER - Rudders are hydrofoils which are pivoting on a vertical axis. They are located
normally at the stern behind propeller(s) to produce a transverse force and steering moment
about the ship center of gravity by deflecting the water flow to the direction of the foil
plane.
ANCHOR - An anchor is a device, normally made of metal, used to connect a vessel to

the sea bed of a body of water to prevent the craft from drifting.
BOW - The bow is the forward part of the hull of a ship or boat, the point that is usually
most forward when the vessel is underway. The aft end of the boat is the stern.
KEEL - Keel, in shipbuilding, the main structural member and backbone of a ship or boat,
running longitudinally along the centre of the bottom of the hull from stem to stern. ...
Traditionally it constituted the principal member to which the ribs were attached on each
side and to which the stem and sternpost were also attached.
ACCOMMODATION- Accommodation of a ship is the living space where cabins

for ship's crew are located, along with galley, provision stores & refrigeration, messrooms,
recreational rooms, gymnasium, meeting rooms, lockers, etc. The accommodation area
is supported by water supply, sewage system, air condition system, fire
safeties, etc.
PROPELLER - A propeller is a rotating fan-like structure which is used to propel the ship by
using the power generated and transmitted by the main engine of the ship. A ship can be
fitted with one, two and rarely three propellers depending upon the speed and maneuvering
requirements of the vessel.
MAST- The mast of a sailing vessel is a tall spar, or arrangement of spars, erected more or

less vertically on the centre-line of a ship or boat. ... Such a section was known as a
made mast, as opposed to sections formed from single pieces of timber, which were known
as pole masts.
BRIDGE - The bridge is a room or platform of a ship from which the ship can be commanded.

When a ship is under way, the bridge is manned by an officer of the watch.
HATCH COVERS- A large steel structure fitted over a hatch opening to prevent the ingress of
water into the cargo hold. It may also be the supporting structure for deck cargo. Various
designs exist for particular applications. Hatches are opened with a spreader using
the vessel cranes or container cranes on shore.
BOW THRUSTERS - Bow thrusters are type of propellers, which are smaller in size and which
help in better maneuverability of the ships at lower speeds.
BULKHEADS - A bulkhead is an upright wall within the hull of a ship or within the fuselage of
an aeroplane. Other kinds of partition elements within a ship are decks and
deckheads.Bulkhead (partition), a wall within the hull of a ship, vehicle, or container ·
Torpedo bulkhead, a type of armor plate or protective.
FRAMES - ships, frames are ribs that are transverse bolted or welded to the
keel. Frames support the hull and give the ship its shape and strength. ... The frames support
lengthwise members which run parallel to the keel, from the bow to the stern; these may
variously be called stringers, strakes, or clamps.
CARGO HOLDS – cargo hold is an enclosed space within a ship designed for storing
cargo such as coal, grain or salt. It usually lies under the deck of a ship and can
hold.
HOPPER TANK - Hopper tanks are used for storage of water ballast. The hopper tank section
is stiffened by a heavy web as shown above. ... The topside corner is also provided with a
sloping bulkhead, and space is used for either storing another type of cargo or for storage of
water ballast. These tanks are called upper wing tanks.
DOUBLE BOTTOM tank – double bottom tanks are located between the forward part (till
collision bulkhead) to the aft peak bulkhead, dividing the engine room. In some ships, such
as container and bulk ship, the double bottom space is divided transversely into three
sections (instead of two).
GIRDERS - Girders: A girder is a longitudinal member used in the construction of the bottom
of a ship. They can be solid or not and can be placed above the keel (center girder) or spaced
equal distances from it (side girders). They can be continuous or divided by floor sections
(intercostal side girders).
COFFERDAMS - A cofferdams in underwater ship repair is a temporary sealed-off

space beneath the water surface that allows repair and maintenance works to
be carried out on the external sections of a vessel (e.g. hull) in a dry
environment.
SIDE SHELL - Side shell plating is the shell plating on the sides of the ship that forms the
watertight skin along the ship side. It is the plate laid in the vertical.
VARIOUS PARTS OF THE SHIP

• Camber/Round of beam – Curvature of decks in the transverse direction. Measured as
the height of deck above the height of deck at side.
• Rise of floor/Deadrise – The rise of the bottom shell plating line above the base line. This
rise is measured at the line of moulded beam.
• Half siding of keel – The horizontal flat portion of the bottom shell measured to port or
starboard of the ship’s longitudinal centre line. This is useful dimension to know when
dry-docking.
• Rake - is an angle of slope measured from horizontal, or from a vertical line 90°
perpendicular to horizontal. A 60° rake would mean that the line is pointing 60 up from
horizontal, either forwards or backwards relative to the object.
• Flare - is the angle at which a ship's hull plate or planking departs from the vertical in an
outward direction with increasing height. A flared hull typically has a deck area larger
than its cross-sectional area at the waterline. Most vessels have some degree of flare
above the waterline. Advantages of hull flare can include improvements in stability,
splash and wash suppression, and dockside utility.
• Tumblehome - is the inverse of flare, where the hull becomes narrower with increasing
height.
• Sheer line - the projection on to the plane of symmetry of the intersection of deck with
the side, or the intersection of a deck with the plane of symmetry of a ship when the
deck has no camber. The amount of rise of a sheer line above its lowest point is called
the Sheer, forward or aft.
• Run - that portion extending from the maximum area section, or from the after end of
the parallel middle-body, to the after extremity of the underwater body.
• Entrance - the portion extending from the maximum area section, or from the fore end
of the parallel middle-body, to the forward extremity of the underwater body.
