The initial design of a ship generally proceeds through three stages: concept; preliminary; and contract design. The process of initial design is often illustrated by
The initial design stage is crucial for the ship design, including the ship structural design, as the decisions are here taken fundamental to reach design objectives by establishing basic ship characteristics.
anchoring and ship securing, cargo handling, air conditioning, power generation and its distribution. There are two main parts of a ship: the hull and the machinery.
As in most structures, the principal dimensions of a ship design are usually not determined by structural considerations, but rather by more general requirements, such as beam and draft limitations, required cargo capacity, and so on.
This book presents the practical aspects of ship design as they relate to the requirements of the owner and operator, as well as the mission of the ship. In addition to design aspects, coverage is provided on such subjects as government regulations, shipyard production techniques and cargo handling.
In determining the Main Dimensions for a new ship, guidance can be taken from a similar ship for which basic details are known. This is known as a ‘basic vessel’ and must be similar in type, size, speed and power to the new vessel. It is constantly referred to as the new design is being developed.
of Basic Ship Design Values Abstract This chapter deals with the determination of the main ship dimensions (length, beam, draft, side depth), following the estimation of the ship’s displacement and the selection of other basic ship design quantities and hull form characteristics
