Boom of Marine Engineering

Till the late 90’s marine engineering never came to light as a career option but in recent times the boom in the nautical industry and innovative developments in the field of marine engineering has drawn the spotlight and many people have started to opt for marine engineering. The unprecedented rise of the amount of trading and the number of merchant navy vessels has highly been effective in increasing the commercial activities across seas which has drawn a positive impact on the field of marine engineering.

The complexity of building a ship is much more than that of building a car or aircraft. This is mainly due to the unpredictability of the weather conditions when at sea. Ships operate based on the waves and the wind that blows. So, a marine engineer needs to have proper knowledge in order to build a cost-effective, safe and reliable ship. Marine engineers not only build ships but they also work in navies, dockyards, equipment manufacturing companies.

According to a recent study in Malaysia, an average merchant navy vessel requires around 10 marine engineers and technicians. Around 6000 marine engineers are employed by non-governmental organizations for various ship operations. Due to lack of public interest in the country around 90% of the jobs are acquired by foreign engineers. The Malaysian government has forecasted that the country’s shipbuilding and repairing industry will generate around 20000 job opportunities by the year 2020.

It is evident from the above statistics how marine engineering has a lucrative prospectus in Malaysia.

3D Ship Modeling- A Boon to the Nautical World

The world of marine engineering has seen a myriad of innovations over the last few decades. In every department of marine engineering from ship building and designing to ship modeling, innovations have been constant. Of late one of the most noteworthy innovations has been that of 3D ship modeling.

Ship 3D modeling has introduced the world of marine engineering to a host of ‘never before seen’ advantages. It has immensely helped in the work of reconstruction and rebuilding of maritime past. The problem that mariners and researchers face with ancient ships is that they are often recovered without major structures like timbers. This makes the work of reconstruction extremely difficult.

With 3D ship modeling however, this is no more a concern for mariners. Mariners and archeologists now can get accurate measurements and data from old and ancient ships. This has been possible only because of 3D ship modeling. Again, when it comes to accuracy, the potential of 3D modeling can never be questioned. Each time mariners are in need of correct and accurate data and measurements, they resort to this form of modeling. As they say, this kind of ship modeling ‘can never give incorrect results’.

Another advantage of 3D ship modeling is that it is extremely versatile. Yes, you can make changes in the model as and when you need. Well, the list of advantages offered by this form of modeling to the nautical world is endless.

Therefore, in the present days, 3D ship modeling has been extremely beneficial to mariners. As there are constant innovations being made in this industry, the coming days are expected to see bigger and better innovations.
