Study On Optimization Of Bulk Carrier's Loading Process

This paper particularly analyzes the characteristic of bulk carrier. Present the attitude that controls the vessel's strength in loading by optimizing the loading scheme. This optimization intends to make the vessel's Shear Force (SF) and Bending Moment (BM) in loading process to the lowest extent. An optimization modal for loading of bulk carrier is basically established in this paper. Author creatively uses the Genetic Algorithms to get the solution of this optimization modal.The software named "Optimization of Bulk Carrier's Loading Procession", which can be inserted to "Stowage System of Bulk Carrier" as a subsystem. This software chose the best one approximately from every loading scheme. The optimized scheme can reduce the maximum of SF and BM in loading at most extend. Using the software to optimize the loading process in practice will improve the security of the bulk carrier, and prolong the life span of the bulk carrier.
