I am looking at basic components of a ship that can help my design to move. This will include basic forms and engines so I know where components need to be situated. In a real life situation, I would be working with a naval engineer from the beginning of the project but seeing as I don't have access to one, this project will be remain rather conceptual.
Panamax Cargo Ship

Width over outer surface of the shell plating: 106 ft (32.31 m)
