The amidship cargo holds structural response of a 158500 dwt oil tanker, on design waves

Keywords: oil tanker ship, partial extended FEM models, navigation restrictions.

Abstract

A strength analysis of the ships’ structural parts under design equivalent waves became mandatory by rule requirements, providing the elements' structural response. The main objective is to evaluate the local combined with the global structural response of a 158500 tdw oil tanker. The strength analysis of partial extended FEM models has been conducted, including the amidships three oil cargo hold tanks. Considering the navigation restrictions, the study analyzes their impact on the amidships structural integrity of the oil tanker.
