Two different configurations of the submarine model namely; the AFF-3 configuration, which consists of bare hull and four stern rudders, and the fully appended configuration AFF-8, which is formed from bare hull, sail, and four stern rudders, have been used. Initially, for the AFF-3 configuration, a mesh independence study has been conducted. Three different cases; coarse, medium and fine meshes are investigated at small angles (0-2-4-6 degrees). After that the results have been verified, the medium mesh structure has been selected and the analyzes have been continued for larger angles (from 00 to 180 degrees). The accuracy of the obtained results was assessed by comparing them with non-dimensional experimental results. The comparison between the CFD results and the experimental results demonstrated a high level of agreement, indicating the effectiveness and accuracy of the CFD methods used in this study. After the validation studies, the maneuvering forces and moments of the AFF-8 fully appended configuration were calculated for which no prior experimental data existed in the literature. To achieve this, steady-state CFD simulations were performed using the commercial software ANSYS Fluent, and the results were presented for the same flow angles.","PeriodicalId":41280,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Eta Maritime Science","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135131294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The problem owner should prioritize the design or optimization on each other. In this regard, two different ways can be followed in engineering problems: firstly designing and then optimizing or using optimized parameters in the design process. In this study, the basic design parameters of a capesize bulk carrier for a specific purpose were created and exemplified on a model. The prototype development problem is handled as a multi-criteria optimization problem by creating appropriate and pareto optimal solutions. Parameter Space Investigation method was used to solve this optimization problem, and this method was applied in a program called Multi-criteria Optimization Vector Identification. As a result of the study, the design parameters of the capesize bulk carrier sample were created and the objective function criteria were obtained better than the prototype and the value in the literature.","PeriodicalId":41280,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Eta Maritime Science","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135131287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seafarers have been identified as key workers in mitigating the negative impact of the coronavirus on global trade and ensuring the delivery of medical and hygiene supplies to regions in need. However, the complete closure policies implemented by certain countries have led to prolonged periods on board for seafarers with expired contracts and economic hardship for those unable to join new assignments. Seafarers who spend long periods on board a ship must deal with issues that may affect their psychological state. Therefore, it is important to identify the factors that cause seafarers to experience psychological distress and to develop relevant strategies to address them. The aim of this study was to determine the association between seafarers’ fear of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) and psychological distress including symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. The questionnaire used the fear of COVID-19 Scale and the expression, Anxiety and Stress Scale), which have strong psychometric properties. Data were collected from 425 qualified seafarers working on international merchant ships and analyzed by structural equation modeling using AMOS-24. The results indicate that seafarers’ fear of COVID-19 is positively associated with symptoms of anxiety and stress but not with depression. Maritime companies, sectoral organizations, and policymakers should collaborate to reduce these associations among seafarers. A unified management approach improved access to health services, and regular mental health assessments can be effective solutions.","PeriodicalId":41280,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Eta Maritime Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46662744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many tasks are expected to fulfill by the ship’s personnel to safely complete this type of operation. However, many human errors may occur during this process, and this situation threatens the safety of life and property. In this respect, this study predicts potential human errors and probabilities that may occur during cargo unloading operations on bulk carrier ships. In this study, an integrated human error prediction approach is proposed using interval type 2 fuzzy sets and the success likelihood index method. Thus, within the scope of this study, a model was obtained that allows human errors to be evaluated both qualitatively and quantitatively. Because of the analyzes made, it has been found that the most common human errors that occur while unloading cargo operations on bulk carriers occur in the processes of following the ballast operation and performing the tasks to prevent excessive trim/list formation on board ship, respectively. In addition, it was concluded that the factors that most shape the performance of the ship’s personnel are education, communication, and experience.","PeriodicalId":41280,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Eta Maritime Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48286932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
