Marpol accidental oil outflow extension released

May 1^st, 2010
We are pleased to announce the release of our new Marpol oil outflow extension according to MEPC.141(54). This new extension calculates the accidental oil outflow parameter for vessels with an aggregrated fuel oil capacity of more than 600 m³. This oil outflow parameter is calculated for both sides of the ship. More details regarding this new extension can be found here.

DELFTship™^Free is a fully functional 3D hullform modeling program perfectly suited for students, home users or anyone else with an interest in ship design. And as the name already implies it's completly free of charge! DELFTship™ uses subdivision surfaces to represent the 3D geometry instead of conventional nurbs. This technique allows for rapidly modeling the most complex shapes in a very flexible way.

Combine this with a very intuitive user interface and the same reporting tools as DELFTship™^Professional and you'll be designing professional looking boats in no time! Use DELFTship™^Free to: Model any type of hull. DELFTship™^Free is limited to hulls that are symmetrical with respect to the centerplane. Perform basic hydrostatic and resistance calculations. View, print and export the traditional 2D linesplan view which is calculated from the 3D model (shaded or black & white). Use the Lackenby hullform transformation to automatically adjust hull parameters such as displacement and longitudinal center of buoyancy to specified values while maintaining fairness of your model. Export to various 2D/3D file formats (.STL, .DXF, .OBJ, .GHS etc.) View plate expansions. Although it lacks some of the more advanced modeling features of DELFTship™^Professional, files created with either version of the program are fully compatible. Our model database contains a large number of free downloadable DELFTship™ models submitted by our users. These are a good starting point to see how things are done, or can be used as the basis for a new design of your own.
