1. Supplying Trained Engineering Manpower · · · UTM the ONLY university in Malaysia offering courses only in Marine Technology covering naval architecture, hydrodynamics, ship and ocean structures design, construction and marine management. Marine Technology Bachelor Degree and Diploma Courses established in 1981. Current enrolment: 300 marine technology students out of 29, 000 in the whole of UTM.

Supplying Trained Engineering Manpower · · · Masters by Coursework started in 2002. Masters and Ph. D by research began in 1995. Graduates employed in the shipbuilding industries, marine-related industries, government maritime agencies (Navy, Marine Department etc. ) and in the offshore oil industries.

2. Continuing Education at UTM · · · Marine Technologists at UTM has played an important role in disseminating knowledge, techniques and technology to the maritime community. Conducts a number of seminars, workshops and short courses which is open to the maritime community. UTM also offers part-time degree programme in marine technology for continuing education of working people. .

3. Research and Development · · · UTM is the ONLY institution of higher learning in Malaysia dealing specifically with R & D in marine technology. Currently 10 Masters (by research) students. The areas of research are mainly centered on ship design, hydrodynamics, ship stability, CAD, small ship production, underwater vehicles, offshore structures, alternative materials for small boats and marine transport system.

4. Provision of Marine Laboratory services · · The most sophisticated marine laboratory attached to a university in the ASEAN region. Commissioned in December 1996 and officially opened by YAB Datuk Seri Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad, Prime Minister of Malaysia in August 1999.

Services Offered 1. Ship and Ocean Structures Model Testing • Resistance/drag Measurements • Propulsion Tests • Fluid Flow and Body interaction Analysis • Seakeeping Behaviour in Waves • Ocean and Coastal Engineering modelling • Equipment Calibration Subsequent slides explain ship model testing methods in detail

Why Ship Model Testing? • • • Despite advances in computing and numerical methods, marine hydrodynamics still largely depends on empirical and semi-empirical methods. Ship designs must be tested to ensure its performance. To test full scale prototype is very expensive. Tests are therefore conducted on precision built model of the hull of the ship. The scaling laws: “If the model is made exactly similar in shape and proportion to full-scale, whatever happens/measurement/behaviour in model scale reflects/mirrors and can be correlated to what actually will happen at full-scale. ”

Why Ship Model Testing? • Ship Owners normally wants to ensure that the designs they buy will behave satisfactorily as claimed by the ship designers/naval architects. • Ship designers want to make sure their designs they make will fulfill contract requirements e. g. speed, comfort, turning radius, performance in waves etc. • Ship designers, builders and owners want check effect of various attachments or modifications to the ship hull for example bilge keel, bulbous bow, trim tabs etc. • Ship designers/researchers want to confirm their design method/tools/software/calculations are suitable for the type of hull they are designing.

International Accreditation Marine Technology Laboratory was accepted as full member of the International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC) in August 1998. ITTC is a conference by membership. Only testing facilities fulfilling certain ‘standards’ are accepted as members. The conference is held once every three years (for delegates from member organisations only) to determine standard procedures and practice. ITTCaccredited facilities can carry out commercial tests.
