Abstract
The ship represents a very complex system of noise and vibration sources determined by the operation of numerous onboard installations and specific activities of crew and passengers. Shipboard noise can cause discomfort to passengers and hearing damage to the crew and in this regard the need for a safe work environment is growing. Due to these effects, it is necessary to strictly observe the noise and vibration criteria by noise and vibration analysis in the design phase and their adequate control. In this paper are discussed the aspects regarding the latest standards of noise and vibration for ships. It is well known that changes made in regulations are not easy to be implemented on board old ships. The authors made a careful analysis of these changes and made a few recommendations for the shipbuilding companies and naval operators.
