Longitudinal Ship Launching

Abstract

In this paper the ship placement on the slipway and technology of longitudinal launching is analyzed along with conducted static calculation. The first part of the paper describes the longitudinal slipway with all of its equipment made for reception and placement of the particular type of ship. The second part of the paper is describing longitudinal launching of the ship with all of the critical moments during the launching. Every one of the critical positions of the ship is defined and the prevention discussed. Forces and moments of forces for every stage of the launching are calculated with the selected computer software and the static diagram is made and discussed for the particular ship.
