Internship safe mooring of large container ships in wind

Safe mooring of large container ships has become increasingly more challenging. Do you want to make an impact in your internship and increase safe mooring? Discover the Dynamic Amplification Factor (DAF) and its impact on mooring line forces for large container ships. Dive into research on ship behavior under diverse conditions, from wind speeds to mooring setups. If you're passionate about maritime engineering, join us!

Responsibilities

Analyze the Dynamic Amplification Factor (DAF), which compares maximum mooring line forces between static and dynamic analyses for large container ships; Explore how DAF varies based on ship size, wind conditions, mooring setup, and other parameters, including the impact of container stacks and cranes on wind forces

Requirements

Currently studying a Master's degree in a relevant field, such as Civil, Marine or Offshore Engineering; Fluent in English, both written and spoken; Interested in the difference between a Static and Dynamic Mooring Analysis for large container ships in wind; Strong analytical abilities with a keen eye for detail; Enthusiastic about complex and data-driven analyses to enhance safety and efficiency in the maritime industry; Able to communicate ideas well

Benefits

Monthly allowance of 750 euro per month (based on 40 hours); Participation in all team activities, both project related and social; Learning engineering software developed by MARIN (DIFFRAC, aNySIM XMF) used in mooring analyses; Learning from experienced young colleagues in port consultancy; Learning about mooring analysis in port engineering
