Highlights
Standard environmental condition is one of the main inputs in designing a vessel especially in assessment of stability condition. The performance based minimum stability requirements are determined by assessing vessels' dynamic failure modes. Winds as well as wind generated waves are the main factors that affect a specific vessel’s dynamics. Wind generated waves in rivers though are usually small in comparison with ocean waves may play a crucial role behind inland vessels accidents. The river condition of a crucial location in Bangladesh inland river routes is assessed where wind velocities have been taken for a specific duration from a reliable secondary source. A narrow fetch model that considers the wave generation in off-wind direction for estimating wind wave parameters has been used to consider the spiral shape of Bangladesh inland routes. The Bretschneider energy spectrum model for short term wave state is compared with the fetch limited model JONSWAP for the estimated wave condition. This study indicates the rationality of conforming the safety level of Bangladesh inland vessels equivalent to river-sea vessels as defined by other nationals and the classification societies. The wave parameters that are estimated in this study can be used to form a limited wave scatter table for predicting short term environmental conditions to assess the dynamic stability failure modes of the vessels.
RESULTS
Formed whirlpool in Chandpur triangle
Comparison of the spectral energy densities at different river conditions
Comparison between JONSWAP experimental relationships and improved model ‘NARFET’
Values of different wave parameters at design and operational wind speeds of Bangladesh Inland vessels

Highlights
A 150 TEUs container ship named 'MV BIJOY' has been meticulously designed to meet the rising demand for cargo transport between Narayangonj and Chittagong. The design process follows a three-tier design spiral. In the first tier, ship particulars are calculated using various methods, a 3D hull is generated, and lines plans are developed. General Arrangement plans are drawn, and initial deadweight calculations are performed. The second tier involves structural design, including mid-ship, profile, and deck plans, as well as weight calculations and stability assessments to ensure the ship's structural integrity and safety in rough seas. The final tier focuses on propulsion, with engine and propeller design, rudder dimensions, and shafting arrangements, ensuring the ship's efficient performance and maneuverability. This student project marks a significant milestone in the department, NAME, at MIST as it was the very first student project with detailed Ship Design (3D).
