Cetaceans: Radiated Noise IMO Work
Radiated Noise Near field vs far field Noise sources: flow noise IMO Correspondence Group Near field vs far field Noise sources: flow noise machinery cavitation biggest component ~ 100 Hz
Radiated Noise Voluntary measures ship operation ship construction
Radiated Noise Propeller design & husbandry low cavitation designs Efficiency measures Propeller design & husbandry low cavitation designs alternative propulsion – twin screw, azipod hull & propeller cleaning
Radiated Noise Future? Voluntary measures – mandatory elements More efficient ships = quieter ships More information on impact of background noise on cetacean behaviour Assess different ship types for impact Location of shipping routes
