Abstract :
[en] This paper is the written support of Prof. Ph. Rigo for his keynote lecture at the 5th International Congress for Ship Design and Naval Engineering (March 2017, Columbia). After presenting of the main research activities at ANAST, ULG, he discussed the way to improve the effectiveness of waterway infrastructures to support the global economic growth of a country/region. This paper includes the following parts:  Ship Structure Optimization: methodology to perform ship scantling optimization, decreasing steel weight and keeping the production cost at an acceptable level. We first review the links between “Design” and “Optimization” and secondly define the place of “Ship Structure Optimization” within the general framework of a “Ship Optimization”.  Ship impacts (Collision), with applications to navigation lock and dry dock gates: these gates have to be designed taking into account accidental loads, such as ship collisions. A new simplified analytical method is proposed, based on the so-called super-element method. This method was developed to rapidly assess the crashworthiness of the collided structure and avoid high computational effort of numerical simulations.  Inland waterway Navigation and the development in South America of Inland Waterway Classifications.  EMSHIP, European ERASMUS MUNDUS education program (www.emship.eu): the unique master in Ship & Offshore Structures awarded by the prestigious European Erasmus Mundus Program. Indeed, EMSHIP shares the outstanding experiences of educators, trainers, industrial partners and students in the rapidly developing areas of marine and offshore engineering industry.
