Design of a 20,000 DWT Oil Tanker Propelled by LNG
Full conceptual design project covering hull form, stability, cargo layout and LNG propulsion integration.
Projects & Research
My work combines design, simulation, acoustic analysis and applied problem-solving across shipping, offshore engineering and sustainable maritime systems.
Featured Project
Analysing hydrophone recordings and AIS vessel data from a highly active commercial port environment. The workflow includes synchronising acoustic and vessel timestamps, identifying vessel passages, calculating CPA, range and speed, applying acoustic calibration, generating spectrograms, comparing vessel noise with background noise, and calculating PSD, RMS SPL and 1/3-octave spectra. Results are interpreted with reference to IMO underwater radiated noise guidance and ISO 17208 methodology.

Vessel Passage Summary

Full conceptual design project covering hull form, stability, cargo layout and LNG propulsion integration.

Designed a submarine hull and used hull envelope equations with STAR-CCM+ to compare drag across alternative nose geometries.

Built a Python-based solution during a 72-hour national hackathon to estimate tugboat fuel demand using bollard pull, power and operating conditions.

Presented how hull-form optimisation can reduce resistance and drag, improve fuel efficiency, and support lower operating cost and emissions.
