ABOUT SNAME

 

The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) was organized in 1893, to advance the art, science, and practice of naval architecture, shipbuilding and marine engineering. For over a century members have included commercial and governmental practitioners, students, and educators of naval architecture, shipbuilding, and marine and ocean engineering. 

 

SNAME is a global professional society that provides a forum for the advancement of the engineering profession as applied to the marine field. Although it particularly names the naval architecture and marine engineering specialties, the society includes all types of engineers and professionals amongst its members and is dedicated to advancing the art, science and practice of naval architecture and marine engineering. SNAME interests cover the complete cycle - research, teach, design, build, operate, recycle - for virtually anything that floats anywhere in the world. It is the International Community for Maritime and Ocean Professionals. 

SNAME encourages the exchange and recording of information, sponsors applied research, offers career guidance, supports education, and enhances the professional status and integrity of its membership. The society also awards the David W. Taylor Medal for "notable achievement in naval architecture and/or marine engineering."

MEMBERSHIP

With an international membership of over 8500 members, SNAME reaches professionals around the world. SNAME is the International Forum for Maritime and Ocean Professionals.

LEGACY

In its earliest days, SNAME was incorporated and nurtured by the titans of our industry including William H. Webb, George E. Weed, Rear Admiral George W. Melville. Other men of stature took the helm thereafter, including Edwin A. Stevens, David W. Taylor, Vice Admiral Land, Kenneth M Davidson, and Blakely Smith. SNAME technical information has long been the gold standard. SNAME publications are widely used as textbooks and reference materials at major universities.

MEMBERSHIP

Professionals with an education and background in maritime architecture and engineering may apply for membership in the Society. Member or Associate Member status may be granted based on a review of applicant credentials, education, years of service, contributions to, and experience in the industry.

MISSION

The mission of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers is to advance the art, science and practice of naval architecture, marine engineering, ocean engineering and other marine-related professions.

 

The Mission of SNAME is accomplished through the direction and vision of our Executive Leadership and articulated in the Strategic Plan. The Technical and Research program is unique in the depth of the subject matter addressed and range of issue and topics explored. SNAME sponsors applied research promotes the development of Technical and Research bulletins and standards that address emerging technical areas of need and urgency. There are a variety of opportunities to publish and present technical research and for information to be vetted through the peer review process. SNAME also offers extensive educational opportunities both on the national and section level as well as online. SNAME supports the future of the industry via the Student Steering Committee, Student Sections and Student Development programs. Scholarships both undergraduate and graduate are available. Outreach programs address the need to recruit future engineers.

Combat ZCC with 40kW wind gens and solar PV for 176kW total energy harvesting

 

The Combat ZCC with 40kW wind turbines. This is a 50 ton vessel that is elongated, but retaining the same low frontal area as with the merchant Bluefish ZZC platforms above. This battleship can be armed with a potent mix of torpedoes, SAM and Cruise missiles. The total energy harvesting capacity is around 176kW (235hp), giving an Energy Harvested to Displacement ratio (EH/D) of 3.52kW/ton (4.72hp/ton). The vessel is more efficient at collecting energy during darkness, reducing the battery storage needed, hence improving the potential payload. Larger versions of this format could be the emission free cargo ships of the future. The average cruising speed of this vessel will be higher from the longer hull 50m (163ft) hull on the waterline, giving a better speed/length ratio. The OAL is 56M (183ft). The sprint speed of this craft will be in the 20+ knot region - dependent on active hull deployment and motor specification. The cost of diesel fuel to operate this ship continuously for a year is approximately: .29gals/hp x 117 x 24 x 365 = $297,226.80 (£183,393.99) In ten years that would be $2.97M (£1.83M). Fuel for thought!
