Design And Research Of New Type Suezmax Tankers

The suez-type oil tanker (hereinafter referred to as Suezmax), refers to the full load condition can be the biggest vessels through the Suez Canal, is one of the five main ship types of the shipping market in the world. In recent years, the demand of international ship building industry and shipping market on ship Suezmax type oil tanker is higher and higher. At the same time, along with the new structure of common structure rule (hereinafter referred to as CSR) application and implementation, combined with the background and the current situation, it is particularly important to design a new type of Suezmax crude oil tanker.The design and studies of the new Suezmax tanker refer to the Suezmax crude oil tanker designed and built in the past two decades. Combined with the CSR specifications and the latest international conventions such as fuel oil tank double hull protection, PMA,etc., has carried on the comprehensive development and research to Suezmax tanker, especially analyzes the type of Suezmax tanker design research and development in the process of various performance indicators and selection method of argument, as well as the overall and local design principles. Type to the current oil market multiple Suezmax tanker systematic collation, analysis and investigation, summing up the methods and experience of optimal and put forward their own views, main parameters of type Suezmax oil tanker design, structure parts design, contour line of argument, subdivision design, satisfy the calculation and design of the structure of the CSR five aspects has carried on the comprehensive development. And optimize the completed Suezmax crude oil ship’s overall design, including host selection and speed estimation, fuel oil tank capacity calculation of argument, general arrangement and strength calculation, etc.Reference to the relevant data of some vessels, in this paper, the new type Suezmax oil tanker carried on the detailed design and development, and met the latest international rules and common norms. Two new types Suezmax oil tanker has been designed and developed out, of about 159,000 tons, the comprehensive economic and technical indicators have reached the domestic leading level.This paper research content is as follows:(1) the principal dimensions, layout, host selection, technology scheme comparison;(2) the cabin design;(3) meet the structure calculation and design of CSR;(4) satisfies the requirement of PMA design overall performance calculation and dimensions;(5) longitudinal spacing argumentation and finite element analysis.Among them, focuses on the design satisfies the requirement of PMA, CSR structure calculation and design, longitudinal spacing argumentation and finite element analysis.
