MOORING TESTS OF THE SHIPThe measurements were carried out in Gdańsk Bay waters in the area free from disturbances generated by marine industry, merchant and naval ports and fairways. Schematic diagram of the testing range is presented in Fig. 1.

ABSTRACT

This paper deals with results of identification tests of acoustic field spectrum of underwater noise generated by ship in motion. The field is connected with acoustic activity of ship mechanisms and devices in operation. Vibration energy generated by the mechanisms and devices is transferred through ship structural elements to surrounding water where it propagates in the form of acoustic waves of a broad band of frequencies. In the publication results of identification tests of underwater noise generated by a ship in motion, arepresented.
