Boarding environment of training ship KAYA for the hull vibration

Abstract

To compare and evaluate the suitability and comfort levels of the environment on board a stern trawltraining ship, KAYA(GT: 1737 tons, Pukyong National University), with the international standardizationguide ISO 6954:2000(E), measurements of the hull vibration on accommodation areas and working areas ofthe training ship from July 8 to July 10, 2008 were completed upon KAYAs linear sea route. The vibrationsalong the z-axis were measured with the use of a 3-axis vibration level meter, which included a marinevibration card. Results show accelerations of the vibrations on the passengers accommodation area to be42.0-115.8(average: 78.0, standard deviation(SD): 21.0) mm/s
