Unit VIII future perspectives of ship-building

Ex. 1. Read and remember the words:

rudder containerize interdependent

maintenance wear from prospective

tossing define excessive

preconditions reduce windage height

Ex.2. Insert the right word:

(Technical training, engine room, pilot’s cabin, bridge, maintenance, computer)

1. Neither a staff of engineers no a crew of the ship will do ship …, but the qualified workers in port.

2. The plane engines can be run from the … .

3. There is no necessity for a crew or a staff of engineers of future ships to stand

watch in the … .

4. The engine of a future ship can be managed from the … .

5. In the ships of future all data, control and further operations will be determined by a … .

6. The staff of a future ship need more qualified … .

Ex. 3. Change the words of italic type with their synonyms from your active vocabulary:

1. Essential reduction of volumes of the hull in case of emergency will improve

storm maneuvering.

2. The plane engines will be put into action from the pilot’s cabin.

3. Placing of the basic volumes in a stern part of the hull that takes into consideration the storming navigation is one of preconditions for safe storming.

4. Changing of the center of gravity to a bow will provide horizontal tail- planning of tossing at the moment on excitement.

5. Substantial cutting down of crew will be the result of efficient development of a future ship.

6. The prospective projects of future ships contribute to the safety of fastness in conditions of real ocean navigation.

Ex. 4. Define in one word:

• Load or cargo packed in different volumes (special tanks, cans etc.);

• special arrangements/structures put up on the top deck above the deck- level;

• some things (lows, rules) , which are dependent on each other;

• going up and down of a ship on the waves at the moment on excitement;

• lows and rules of “sea traffic”;

• capacity of a ship to preserve fastness in any conditions of real ocean navigation;

• capacity of a ship to swing in any proper direction, to change speed if needed, to balance perfectly even in storm conditions.

Ex. 5. Translate into Russian:

1. Electronic equipment will determine a ship’s course and, by sending information to machinery regulate the rudder, steer the vessel.

2. There are six interdependent rules, received from historical analysis of properties of ship architecture.

3. Aluminium is corrosion- resistant and can prevent wear from the chemicals in seawater.

4. Displacement of the center of gravity to a bow advancing the dynamic center of lateral resistance will provide stabilization and assure fastness in conditions of storm roughness.

5. Exclusion of boards flares, wide and continuous top deck as also inclination forward of surface part of the stem will remove a problem of excessive tossing and impacts of waves during storm.

6. Essential reduction of the area of inertia of a waterline surface, volumes of the hull and windage height of superstructures will contribute to preservation of fastness in conditions of real ocean navigation.
