Case Study and Assessment on Vessel Structure Safety ()
ABSTRACT
From the
case study, the nature defects of single-hull vessel were discussed to compare the
safety level between single-hull vessel and double-hull vessel. Data was chosen
from both investigation and research from ABS, as well as simulation by similar
kind of vessel in model calculation. The study underscores the main defects of single-hull
vessel for prevention of their losses, mentioning the most important measures taken
by IMO for improvement of vessel safety. In the work, a critical analysis of the
methodology of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS)
for calculation of sectional efforts induced by waves in vessel’s hull is described.
In the end, the advantage of double-hull vessel was determined and the reason to
eliminate single-hull vessel was proved again.
