Ship Producibility As It Relates to Series Production. Volume 2. Ship Design Process

Abstract

Recognizing that the development of the midship section has a direct effect on the producibility of a given ship, the production characteristics of candidate sections were evaluated in order to determine the most advantageous configuration for producibility. Using the basic principal dimensions of a model 150,000 DWT tanker, fourteen midship sections were initially reviewed and six were selected for detail development and analysis. The IMCO rules for subdivision were considered in the design of the proposed sections, which were developed in accordance with the American Bureau of Shipping rules for tankers. The structural sections utilized for longitudinal stiffening are shown as tees, although inverted angles of comparable section properties can be satisfactorily substituted. This subject is addressed in greater detail in the Structural Member Configuration portion of the study, Volume II, Part 5.
