Naval architecture is an interesting field that encompasses the design, construction, and maintenance of various types of watercraft, including ships, boats, submarines, and offshore structures. It combines principles of engineering, physics, and design to create vessels that are safe, efficient, and seaworthy. Naval architects are responsible for designing the shape and structure of the ship's hull, determining stability and buoyancy, selecting propulsion systems, and complying with regulations and safety standards. They use advanced computer-aided design software (CAD) and perform in-depth analyzes to optimize vessel performance, taking into account factors such as hydrodynamics, structural integrity, and stability under various sea conditions. With their comprehensive understanding of the marine environment, naval architects play a critical role in developing innovative and sustainable solutions for the maritime industry.The objective of this book is to provide a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the principles, theories, and practices associated with the design, construction, and operation of ships and other watercraft.

The interaction between hydraulics and maritime technology is evident in numerous applications. Hydraulic systems are used in ships for steering, propulsion, and cargo handling operations. They are crucial in enabling the movement of shipboard equipment, opening and closing of watertight doors, and controlling stabilizers to enhance vessel stability.In the context of port infrastructure, hydraulics is essential for the operation of various hydraulic machinery, including ship-to-shore cranes, container handling equipment, lock gates, and dock levelers. Hydraulic systems are designed to provide the necessary power and precision required for efficient cargo handling and port operations. This book offers comprehensive coverage of various aspects related to hydraulic systems in the maritime industry. It encompasses a wide range of topics, including research papers, extensive review works, and applications that highlight the latest technical advancements in the field. This book serves as a valuable resource for individuals involved in maritime hydraulics, providing in-depth insights into the subject matter
