MV Havila Harmony

MV Havila Harmony is a mathematics topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand MV Havila Harmony rather than just read about it. In short: MV Havila Harmony is a multi-role, dynamically-positioned support vessel built in 2005 for subsea construction and support operations. The vessel is owned by Havila Shipping and currently on long-term charter to Fugro.

Key takeaways

MV Havila Harmony belongs to mathematics; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect MV Havila Harmony to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of MV Havila Harmony from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

MV Havila Harmony is a multi-role, dynamically-positioned support vessel built in 2005 for subsea construction and support operations. The vessel is owned by Havila Shipping and currently on long-term charter to Fugro.

History

The Havila Harmony was built by Havyard Leirvik and delivered in June 2005 to Havila Shipping. It was originally registered in Fosnavåg, Norway. In 2013, Fugro extended a long-term charter of the vessel, then operating in Malaysia, until 30 April 2017 with two optional one-year extensions. The Havila Harmony was involved in the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Havila Harmony was outfitted with a Hugin 4500 autonomous underwater vehicle at the Australia Maritime Complex near Perth, Western Australia in November 2015. It arrived in the search area on 5 December 2015. The AUV aboard Havila Harmony was used to search the most challenging underwater terrain, which could not effectively be searched by the towed sonar used by other vessels in the search. On 2 January 2016, the AUV aboard Havila Harmony was used to investigate an anomalous, possibly-man-made seafloor feature; high-resolution sonar imagery from the AUV revealed the feature was a shipwreck, probably an iron or steel vessel from the turn of the 19th century.

Specifications and equipment The Havila Harmony is based on a Marin Teknikk MT6010 hull. It was built in 2005 and configured to its current configuration in 2007. It has a maximum speed of 13.5 knots (25.0 km/h; 15.5 mph), although the maximum economical speed is 11.5 knots (21.3 km/h; 13.2 mph). The vessel was designed for subsea construction operations and support of subsea operations. The Havila Harmony has 800 square metres (8,600 sq ft) of deck space and is equipped with an offshore crane, which can lift a maximum 100 tons (single fall) or 150 tons (double block). A helicopter deck above the bow is capable of operating a Eurocopter AS332 Super Puma or similarly-sized helicopter. Additionally, the vessel is outfitted with two Remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs), which are rated to 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) maximum operating depth. During the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, it was equipped with a Hugin 4500 AUV.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with MV Havila Harmony

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what MV Havila Harmony claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In mathematics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to MV Havila Harmony before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about MV Havila Harmony ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of MV Havila Harmony

In research: MV Havila Harmony appears in mathematics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses MV Havila Harmony in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: MV Havila Harmony is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2005 ships, IMO numbers, Merchant ships of Malaysia, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for MV Havila Harmony outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
