Noise prediction of moored cruise ships

摘要

Francesca Remigi, an acoustic engineer experienced in noise mapping and noise abatement plans, took to the stage at the September meeting to discuss the recent developments in the acoustic characterisation of moored cruise ships. The noise emission evaluation of large vessels is often an underestimated issue. In recent years, the evolution of ship design has been characterised, both for commercial and cruise ships, by the growing tonnage and the increasing number of sound sources present on board. Consequently, the determination of acoustic emissions of sources so large and complex requires the development of measurement techniques that need to be always adapted to the specific context of analysis and operational procedures of the vessel.
