Being a good naval architect and talk short and precise is no longer enough :)

For many years, I have worked with colleagues who expected you dedicate yourself "exclusively" to his design work and calculations
I have never shared that attitude, because the world is complex and can not bury our heads like ostriches on a drawing board, waiting for the world give a helping hand (I always tend my first)
And I think this is a culture of family, no school, no less skill accreditation
I just read a book about "Design of Ship Hull Structures " and the authors (Okumoto, Takeda, Mano & Okeda) wrote:
"The most important topic in the energy saving era was to reduce fuel consumption.
So the utmost was done on hull form improvement, propulsion (propeller) efficiency,
main engine fuel consumption and efficiency of the propulsion plant. The
main actors in this period were hull form designers, machinery designers, and main
engine builders.
Regarding energy saving, hull structure designers could not contribute a great
deal. They could only reduce hull steel weight to have smaller ships which have less
resistance.
Shipbuilding was depressed to 1990, and hull structure designers have been the
main players once again in the recovering period after that.
Due to competition among ship owners themselves and also among shipyards it
was hard to survive in such depressed times. Under these circumstances the specialization
of ships was promoted to achieve a more profitable cargo transportation unit.
Consequently the demands on the hull structure were greater and greater, and some
of them seemed to be impossible to carry out.
Whether a new structure can be realized or not, depends on what the boundary
conditions are, and this is up to the hull structure designer to decide. It has been
said for a long time that shipbuilding is “experience engineering” and ships are to
be designed and built, based on past experience. However, the situation has changed
as the hull structure designer has to design new and unusual structures which have
never been built before, so there is not much experience available. Survival of the
shipyard will depend on the success of the hull structure design team."
Take your opinion and try to open to the complexity of the world
He's my best opinion to share with you
The market is every day more complex, and more creativity requires , than the mastery of certain obsolete experiences
