Ship Knowledge, 4 moderm encyclopedia
1. Principal Dimensions
1.1 General
Mieasurement Treaty
All aspects concerning the measurements of seagoing vessels are arranged in
the certificate of registry act of 1982, Part of the certificate of registry act is the
International treaty on the measurement of ships, as set up by the IMO-
conference in
1969. The treaty applies to seagoing vessels with a minimum
Jength of 24 metres and came into force in July 1994,
Perpendicular
Line perpendicular to another line or
plane (for instance the water line). On
a ship there are:
Fore Perpendicular (FPP, or FP)
This Jine crosses the intersection of
the water line and the front of the
stem.
Aft Perpendicular (APP, or AP)
This line usually aligns with the
centerline of the rudder stock (the
imaginary line around which the
rudder rotates),
Load Line
The water line of a ship lying in the
water. There are different load lines
for diflerent situations, such as:
Light water line
The water line of a ship carrying only
her regular inventory.
Decp water line
The water linc of maximum load
draught in seawater.
Water line
The load line at the summer mark as
calcwlated in the design of the ship by
the ship builder,
Construction water line (CWL)
The water line used to determine the
dimensions of the various compo-
nents from which the vessel is
constructed.
Deck line
Extended line from the topside of the
fixed deck covering at the ship's side.
Moulded dimensions
Distance between two points,
measured on inside plating (or
outside framing).
Base Line
Top of the keel.
Plimsoll Mark
The Plimsoll mark or Freeboard mark
consists of a circle with diameter of
one foot, which through a horizontal
line is drawn with as upper edge the
centre of This level
indicates the minimum freeboard
insalt water summer conditions.
Beside the circle is a number of
horizontal lines indicating the mini-
mum freeboard as above. Summer
freeboard: S. Other conditions:
Tropical: T. Winter: W, Fresh (water):
F. Tropical Fresh: TF, and for small
ships, less than 100 m; Winter North
Atlantic: WNA, All connected by a
vertical line. For casy checking of the
position of the Mark, above the mark
a reference line is drawn: the Deck
linc. Normaliy at the level of the
weather deck, but in case the weather
deck is not the freeboard deck (e.g.
Ro-Ro), at the level of that deck.
When the distance is impractically
large, or the connection deck
shellplate ís rounded off (tankers,
bulkearriers). the reference line is
positioned at à lower level. The Mark
and the Deckline are to be marked
permanently on port and starboard-
side, midlength.

The draught marks, Plimsoll Line
and Plimsoll Mark are permanent
marks. Usually this means that
they are carved into the hull.

unfavourable effect on the stability

when the vessel has an inclínation)
and on the strength.
1.4 Volumes and weights
General
The dimensions of a ship car be
expressed by using termsm which
describe the characteristics of the
ship. Each term has a specific
abbreviation. The type of ship
determines the term to be used. For
instance, the size of a container
vessel is expressed in the number of
containers it can transport; a roll-on
roll-off carrier's size is given by the
total deck-area in square metres and à
passenger ship in the number of
people it can carry. At the IMO-
conference in 1969 the new units
“Gross Tonnage” and “Net
Tonnage” were introduced, to
establish a world-wide standard in
calculating the size of a ship. In many
countries the Gross Tonnage is used
to determine port dues and pilotage,
or to determine the number of people
in the crew
Register ton
To determine the volume of a space
she register ton is used. One register
son equals 100 cit, or 2.83 m?.
Gross Tonnage
The gross tonnage is caleulated using
= formula that takes into account the
sip's volume in cubic metre below
the main deck and the enclosed
ves above the main deck
This volume is then multiplied by a
constant, which results in a dimen-
nless number (this means no
alues of Tor m? should be placed

(mostly containers) can be placed on
deck, Tt is typical for small container
ships to use this strategy. Ás a
conseguence of this. dangerous
situations can oceur because the loss
of reserve buoyancy can result in a
loss of stability and more “water on
deck”,
Nett Tonnage
The Nett Tonnage is also a
dimensionless number that describes
the volume of the cargo space. The
NT can be calculared from the GT by
subtracting the volume of space
oceupied by:
- crew
- navigation equipment
- propulsion equipment
- workshops
Am exemaple of a ship «cinta seal] depth
The NT may not be less than 30% of
the GT.
Displacement Gn mº)
The displacement equals the volume
of the part of the ship below the
water line including the shell plating,
propeller and rudder.
Underwater body (in m?)
The underwater body of a ship equals
the displacement minus (he contri-
bution of the shell, propeller and
tudder. Or: the calculated volume of
the part of the hull which is sub-
merged in the water, on the outside of
the frames without extensions.
27
Displacement 4 (in t)
The displacement is the weight of the volume of water displaced by the ship.
One could also say: the displacement equals the total mass of the ship.
Displacement (1) = waterdisplacement (m?) * density of water (tim?)
Light displacement (in t)
This is the weight of me hull including the regular inventory. The 1
inventory includes: anchors, life-saving appliances. lubricating oil, paint, etc.
Dead weight (in t)
This is the weight a ship can load until the maximum allowable submersion is
reached. This is a constant, which is unique for every ship.
Dead weight () = maximum weight A(t) - light displacement (t)
Dead weight (D = maximum weight A(b) - actual weight A(t)
Cargo, carrying or dead weight capacity (in t)
This is the toral weight of cargo a ship can carry. The cargo capacity (in t) is
not a fixed number, it depends on the ship's maximum allowable submersion,
which will include the capacity (in t) of fuel, provisions and drinking water. For
a long voyage there has to be room for extra fuel, which reduces the cargo
capacity. If, on the other hand, the ship refueis (bunkers) halfway. the cargo
capacity is larger upon departure, The choices for the amount of fuel on board
and the location for refuelling depend on many factors, but in the end the
master has final responsibility for the choices made,
The carga capacity largely determine
Cargo capacity () = dead weight (9) - ballast, fuel, provisions (). q dio ias

2, Form coefficients
Form coefticients give clues about the characteristics of
the vessel's shape from the water line down into the
water. This makes ir possible to get an impression of the
shape of the underwater body of a ship without extensive
use of any data. However. the form coefficients do not
contain any information on the dimensions of the ship,
they are non-dimensional numbers.
2.1 Waterplane-coefficient Cw.
The waterplane-coefficient gives the ratio of the area of
the water line A and the rectangular plane spanned by
Lpp and Bmld. A large warerplane-coefficient in
combination with a small block-coefficient (or coef-
ficient of fineness) is favourable for the stability in both
athwart and fore and aft direction.
Waterplane-coefficient (Cw) = “ERRADA

Ship Knowledge, a modem encyclopedia 28
2.2 Midship section cocfficient, Cm.
The midship-ceefficient gives the ratio of the area of the midship section (Am)
and the area spanncd by Bmld and T.
2.3 Block coefficient, coefficient of fineness, Cb.
The block coefficient gives the ratio of the volume of the underwater body and
the rectangular bcam spanned by Lpp, Bmld and T. A vessel with a small block
coefficient is referred to as “slim”. In general, fast ships have a small block
coefficient.
Customary values for the block coefficient of several types of vessels:
Tanker 0.80-0,90
Freighter 0.70-0.80
Container vessel 0,60-0.75
Reefer 0,55-0.70
Frigate 0,50-0.55

2.4 Prismatic coefficient, Cp.
The prismatic coefficient gives the
ratio of the volume of the underwater
body and the block formed by the
area of the midship section (Am) and
Lpp. The Cp is important for the
resistance and hence for the
necessary power of propulsion (if he
Cp decreases, the necessary
propulsion power also becomes
smaller).
The maximum value of all these
coefficients is reached in case df a
rectangular beam, and equals 1. The
minimal value is theoreticaliy 0.

4. Drawings
Of the many drawings, only the most
important ones are mentioned here.
In general, the following demands
are made:
The general arrangement plan, safety
plan, docking plan and capacity plan
have to be submitted to the Shipping
Inspectorate for approval.
The general arrangement plan,
midship section drawing, shell
expansion and construction plan (or
sheer plan or working drawing) have
to be submitted to the classification
bureau for approval.
4.1 General arrangement plan
The general plan roughly depicts the
division and arrangement of the ship.
The following views are displayed:
- a (SB) side-view of the ship.
- the plan víews of the most
important decks.
- sometimes cross-sections, or a
front and back view are included.
The views and cross-sections
mentioned above, display among
other things:
- the division into the different
compartments (for example: tanks,
engine room, holds)
- location of bulkheads.
- location and arrangement of the
superstructures.
- parts of the equipment (for
example: winches, loading gear,
bow thruster, lifeboat).
Next to these, some basic data are
included in the drawing like:
principal dimensions, volumes of the
holds, tonnage, dead weight, engine
power, speed and class.

their locations and the dimensions of
the structural members (including the

Safety plan
The safety plan is a general
arrangement plan on which all the
safety devices (for example lifeboats,
life rafts, escape contes. fire
extinguishers) are shown.
Docking plan
The docking plan is a simplified
version of the general plan. jr
indicates where the ship should be
supported by the keel blocks in case
of docking. Furthermore the bottom
and other tank plugs are shown with
the type of liquid with which tanks
may be filled.
Capacity plan
This is also a simplified version of
the general plan. Al tanks and holds
are indicated with their volumes and
centre of gravity respectively.
Together wilh the stability and “light
weight particulars, this forms the
basis from which stability
calculations can be performed.
Normally this drawing goes together
with the deadweight scale, which
gives information about the
relationship between draught and for
example displacement in fresh and
salt water.
5. Important data on
various ships
Ship owners have an interest in
promoting their ships as much as
possible, especially the types of
cargo their ships can transport, Or to
put it in another way: how they can
eam money. The table on the next
page contains data of a number of
ships which differ very much in the
type of cargo they can carry, The
abbreviations and other information
are explained, unless they have

3 Brief discussion on
several types of ships.
The discussion of the vessels below
includes a general description, dimen-
sions and other characteristics. For
instance, important features for a
containcr vessel are the maximum
number of containers it can carry and
the deadweight. For a passenger liner.
the deadweight is not important, but
the number of passengers is. A tug
boat has to possess a high bollard
pull, whereas that is not important for
a dredger,

3.1 Multipurpose ships.
Multipurpose means that these
vessels can transport many types of
cargo. These ships use hatcheovers
as bulkheads as well as tweendecks in
the bold. These hatcheovers can be
placed at varying beights and
positions. Usually the headledges and
hatch coamings are of the same dimen-
sions as the holds, which makes
loading and discharging easier The
holds are sealed with hatches using a
variety of systems. Cargo like wood
or containers can be carried on top of
the hatches. Often the bulwark is
heightened te support the containers.
Possible cargo
- containers
- general cargo
- dry bulk cargo like grain
- wood
- cars
- heavy items (project cargo)
Characteristies
- dead weight (1
- hold capacity (m?, ft)
- number of containers and their
dimensions
- maximum deck load (t/m?)
- maximum wheelload (t)
- lifting capacity of cargo gear
Multipurpose vessels can be sub-
divided into:
- ships svith cargo gear (up to 120
tons lifting capacity per crane)
- ships without cargo gear
- coastal trade liners
A multipurpose vessel can also be
equipped with one or more ramps on
the side of the ship. Loading and
discharging can then commence
through these ramps by forklifts. This
is faster and less dependent on the
weather.
Ships with cargo gear.
Multipurpose ships with cargo gear
are heavier than comparable vessels
without cargo gear. Às a result their
carrying capacity is less. Some
vessels can not pass under à bridge
because of the height of the cranes.
The advantage of such à ship is that
she can work in ports and industrial
zones where no cranes are available.
Ship Knowledge, é modem enexelopedia

b. Ships without cargo geue.
Ships without cargo gear are
dependent on the presence of loading
gear in the ports and are therefore
limited in their employability.
«. Coastal trade liners
In order to navigate from the sea into
the intand waterways, coastal trade
lincrs have a small draught; usually
not more then 3.60 metres, a small air
draught of approximately 6.5 metres
and, compared to other ships of the
same size, a large ballast tank
capacity. Like inland vessels, coastal
trade liners (also called sea-river
ships) often have a hydraulically

3.2 Container ships
Since the 1960s the transport of
containers has continued to grow, The
specific advantage of the use of
containers is that the cargo can be
transported directly from customer to
customer, and not just from port to
port. The transport by water is just a
link in the chain of transport.
Container vessels have grown from a
capacity of 1500 TEU (1966) to
approximately 8000 TEU (2002).
The sizes of containers vary. The
1SO-standards distinguish the
TEU and the FEU, which may
differ in height.
TEU = twenty feet equivalent
unit. The nominal Jength of these
containers is:
20" = 20 * 0,305 = 6,10 metres.
The actual length is 1.5(38mm)
shorter, leaving some space
between the containers.
FEU = forty feet equivalent unit.
The nominal length of these
containers is :
40'=40* 0.305 = 12.20 metres.
Possible Cargo
- containers
Characteristics
- Maximum amount of TEUs or FEUs
- Amount of TEUs or FEUs below the
weather deck along with their
heights
- Number of container ticrs.
- Presence of cargo gear
- Open cr closed ship.
There are two main types of container
vessets:
q. Big intercontinental container
vessels up to 8,400 TEU (1999)
b. Container feeders, starting at 200
TEU.
48
a. (Intercontinental) container ships
Container vessels are divided into
gencrations (see the table below). The
big container ships can only go to the
largest ports because of the ship's size
and the transfer capacity of the port.
Large container vessels usually do not
have their own loading gear. After
199] ships without hatches were
built, also called cellular vessels.
Because there are no hatches it means
that water can pour into the holds
(tropical rains, seawater). Therefore
special provisions have to be made
for the bilge pumping systems.
Advantages of cellular vessels:
- more efficient cargo handling,
which reduces the lay time and
harbour fees,
- guide rails, to keep the
containers in position instead of
lashings.
- no hatch covers to be carried
- high freeboard and strong
construction due to the guide rails
Disadvantages:
- the high freeboard has an adverse
effect on the GT measurement of the
vessel
- the price is high because of the
amount of steel used and the
intricate engineering
Analogous to big tankers and bulk
carriers, container vessels can also be
classified on the basis of the passage
that is just suitable.
Nediloyd America, on open cellular container ship L = 266 metres
= 32 metres, 3,568 TEL
These designations are:
- Panamax ships. Ships with a width
less than 32.25 metres. They
have the maximum width with
wbich they can still pass the Jocks
in the Panama Canal.
- Post panamax ships. These ships are
too large to pass through the Panama
Canal, Since 1988 container vessels
with widths excecding 32.5 metres
have been constructed.
- Suezmax ships have a draught of
less 19 metres, which allows them to
use the Suez Canal. The Suez Canal
is currently being deepened,
b. Container feeders
Container feeders are small or
medium-sized ships starting at 200
TEU that specializo in transporting
cargo from small ports to large ports
and vice versa, or for use in services
which are not profitable for the larger
container vessels. The feeders may be
equipped with cargo pear. Often,
multi purpose ships are employed as
container feeders.

- A system for the temperature control
of sloptanks. Usually crude is not
heated during the voyage.
- The ballast system is completely
separated from the cargo system.
When a large ship like a crude-oil
tanker is damaged by collision or
grounding. vast amounts of oil can
leak into the Therefore,
regulations now require that such
vessels have a double hull
ocean.
Possible cargo
- Crude oil
Characteristics
- Carrying capacity (tons)
- Tank volume (m?)
- Discharging speed (mYh)
- Maximum laden draught (m)
- Product tankers
“Product” refers to the products of
refinerics and the petrochemical
industries instead of crude-oil.
Product tankers have a large number
of tanks with a total carrying capacity
of approximately 50,000 tons. The
piping systems on a product tanker
are different from the systems in
crude oil tankers. Normally every
tank has its own filling and discharge
line to the manifold and its own cargo
pump.
Possible cargo
- Oil products like gasoline, kerosene,
naphtha, diesel oil, lubricating oil,
bitumen
- Vegetable oil
- Wine
- Drinking water
Characteristics
- Carrying capacity (t)
- Total volume and volume per tank (m?)
- State of tank wall surfaces
3.5 Chemical tankers
There arc very suicl requirements
and regulations for chemical tankers
because of the toxicity and
flammability of the typical chemical
cargo. All cargo tanks are separated
from:
- the shell by a ballast tank
- the engine room bulkhead by à
cofferdam
- the forcpeak bulkhcad by a
cofferdam.
Ship Knoseledge, a modem encyclopedia
Product Tanker in Panama Canal
This ensures that in case of leakage
from one of the tanks, the crew and
environment are not subjected to
danger.
To prevent mixing of incompatible
cargoes, a cofferdam scparates tanks
with different contents, A colferdam
is a small empty space fitted with a
sounding apparatus, a bilge connec-
tion and ventilation.
The size of chemical tankers varies
between 2500 and 23,000 GT. The
number of
direction varies between 3 for tankers
up to 6000 tons and 6 for larger
tankers.

3.6 Bulk carriers
Bulk carriers are ships especially
designed to carry loose cargo in bulk.
There are three types of bulk carriers:
a. Handy size, 30,000 tons
dead weight, often with own cargo
gear, Cargo: precious ore, sand,
scrap, clay, grain and forest products
. Panamax. 80,000 tons dead
weight, no cargo gear.
Cargo: grain and ore
Capesize, 160,000 tons dead weight,
no cargo gear. Cargo: coal, ore.
o
e
Bulk carriers are usually discharged
by grabs or by suction pipes. Pouring
the cargo through a shooter or via a
conveyor belt does the loading. Bulk
carriers have large upper and lower
ballast tanks to give the empty vessel
enough draught and a better beha-
viour whilst in transit.
3
An ore carrier bei
Ships transporting ore have a special
design. Ore is very heavy. (stowage
factor is approximately 0,5 mi) and
thus ships only need small holds to be
loaded completely, To prevent à too
large stability the holds must not be
situated too low or too close to the
sides of the ship. Some bulkcarriers
can also function as a tanker. This
combination carrier is called an Ore
Bulk Oil (OBO) carrier.
Possible cargo
- Coal
- Ore
- grain and other agricultural products
- fertiliser
- cement
- light minerals
Characteristics

3.7 Roll on Roll off
- Ro-Ro carriers
To facilitate the transport of mobile
cargo, Ro-Ro vessels have continuous
decks, spanning the entire length of
the ship. As a result of this the vessel
loses its stability rapidly if water
enters the decks afer a collision or a
burst side door. In connection with
this. the safety regulations for these
vessels have been sharpened in the
last few (2003) by the
sequirement of division doors,

The iweendecks of lhese ships are

ramps in the side or stern which also
function as a driveway. Because the
ramps may not be deformed too
much, RoRos are equipped with an
antiheeling system which automatically
distributes water between two op-
posing hallast tanks. To prevent the
cargo from moving in bad weather,
the vehicles are fastencd using a
lashing system. During loading and
discharging additional ventilation is
required to get rid of the exhaust
fumes,
Ro-Ro curricr
- Ro-Ro car and passenger ferries
Almost all ferries transport both
passengers and vehicles, whether they
are navigating inland waterways or
the occans and seas. The vessels
usually shuttle between two ports on a
very tight schedule. The passengers
drive their own cars on board via a
ramp, which is either part of the ship,
placed on the quay, or a combination
of these two. Ferries have the same
type of decks as the Ro-Ro carriers,
and iherefore they face the same
problems when water floods the
decks.

3.8 Cruise ships
Exccpt in some archipelagos areas, as
the Philippines and Indonesia, the
traditional passenger líners have
disappeared. International and inter-
continental transport of passengers is
now almost completely done by
aircraft. The modern cruise ships are
used for making luxurious holiday
trips to distant countries and ports. On
board there is a whole range of
facilítics for relaxation like
swimming pools, cinemas, bars,
casinos, theatres ete.
Possible cargo
- passengers
Characteristics
- maximum number cf passengers
- number of cabins according to size,
luxury and location on the ship.
Without exception, these vessels are
equipped with very good air
conditioners. Stability fins limit the
rolling to 2º ultimately 4º. Even
modern cruise ships with sails have
no noticeabte list when sailing. The
number of persons on board can be as
high as 4000; the crew is half or two
third that number.

the deck where it is then distributed to
the animals by mean of wheel-
barrows. A network of conveyor belts
and lifts dumps the
overhoard. A proper air conditioning
is required: at least 45 air changes per
hour are necessary. To achieve a low
stability cattle ships are very slender
ships. This prevents the animals from
breaking their legs when he ship
experiences rolling, The slender

3.10 Yachts
Yachts can be distinguished as motor
yachts and sailing yachts with an
auxiliary motor, These vessels are
purchased by and used for:
- private individuals for use in leisure
time; these yachis have a length of
1010 20 metres.
- Weallhy persons «who use the yacht
às their (temporary) domicile,
either for leisure or for
representative purposes;
- Companies which use the yachts for
representative purposes: these
yachts have a length of
approximately 15 metres or more,
- Private individuals or companie:
who buy the yacht for races,
- Large yachts uscd in chartering: the
length ol these yachts starts ar
approximately 15 metres.
The building of large luxurious motor
and sailing yachis is very similar 10
the building of commercial ships, but
with more emphasis on the finish and
appearance.
Large yachts wilh a length of 25
metres and over are also called Mega-
vachts.

- Trawlers
Trawlers are fishing vessels which
drag their nets through the water. In
pelagic fishery, the nets are sus-
ce
pended between the water surf:
and the seabcd. In bottom fishery, the
net is dragged over the scabed, which

These vessels rake the seabed with a
rotating cutter and are often used in
the development of new ports and
new waterways. Cutter suction
dredgers can be equipped with their
own means of propulsion, but this is
not always the case. Spud poles are
used to temporarily fix the vessels.
The dredgers then move in a swinging
motion to deepen the hotom. The
loosened soils are washed away
through a dredging pump and a
floating discharge pipeline to the soil
destination, The soil can also be
pumped into a barge thai can

3.15 Cable laying ships.
a. Cable laying shi
Cable laying ships are vessels, which
can lay one or more cables on the sea
floor. If the distance excecds the
length of one cable, multiple cables
have to be joined logether on board of
the ship. These vessels are fully
equipped for this task. The ships also
have the ability to repair broken
cables. Crucial in the cable laving
process 18 that the positions of the
cables on the sea floor correspond to
positions on the map.
Turthermore, during the joining of the
cables, the vessel must be able to
keep its position. For thesc reasons,
cable ships are always equipped with
multiple adjustable, and often also
azimuthing. propellers in com-
their

- Cruisers
Cruisers mostly have a displacement
of more than 10,000 tons and are
sutlicientIy armed to operate on their
own Tasks are surveillance,
blocking, protection of convoys and

A destroyer is smaller than à cruiser
but is also fitted to operate
independently. These are multi-
functional warships designed to fight
submarines and surface vessels and to
escort convoys.
-Frigates
Frigates are very versatilo warships.
They are suitable for air defence,
anti-submarine warfare and surface
warfare. They have a wide array of
sensors, communication devices and
Ta numbers of sonars, There are

used for long-range operations.
Corvegs
- Submarines
Submarines are hard to detect and
therefore very popular in the navies
worldwide.
Types ure:
- Ballistic Missile Nuclear Submarine

miles from the coast
- Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV)
Ships with a displacement of approx.
700 tens that can patrol the waters of
the Exclusive Economic Zone (BEZ)
tor an extended period of time.
Usually an OPY is lightly armed and
equipped with a helicopter deck
which enhances their patroiling
eupabilities.
- Mine Counter Measure Vessels
(MUMV)
An MCMY is any vessel that is
designed to locate and destroy mines.
The main types are:
- Mine hunters (MHS). These vessels
are equipped with several iypes of
mine detecting sonars. They usually
have u Remotely Operated Vehicle

disembarkation of the force. There
are many types of Amphibious ships.
- Landing craft.
Landing craft are smaller than
amphibious craft, designed to sail
towards a beach and allow vehicles.
troops and equipment to leave the
ship via a ramp at the bow of the ship.
They can not operate in rough
conditions and are usually transported
to the area of operation in an
amphibious ship.

4.1 Introduction
As our world continues to expand in
population and the use of energy
consuming applications is ever
growing and growing, this makes us
more than ever dependent on
“energy”. As à consequence, nowa-
days oil and gas are still our most
important source of energy.
Wilhin the world of oil and gas,
Crude oil is called “Petroleum”,
Petroleum is a combination of the
Greck word PETRA and the Latin
word OLEUM, “Petroleum”. literally
means “ROCK OIL”. Crude oil
actually comes from rocks (the oil is
entrapped within rock formations and
the different layers of rocks). Most of
the oil and gas is found within the so-
called Sandstone and Limestone
layers. According to sciemists, oil
and gas come from the remains of

weight of these overlaying sediments
resulted in tremendous pressure and
heat on the organic material buricd
below and transformed this organic
material during millions of years into
oil and gas. Parallel to this process the
surrounding organic material tran:
formed into sedimentary rock e.g.
sand- and limestone.
4.2 The early developments
Im the early years of 1800 whale oil
used for ilumination and
lubricating purposes. Around the year
1850 this oil became very scarce and
expensive as whales in the USA
waters had nearly been hunted to
extinction. As à consequence people
were anxicus to find alternatives.
Around these times an oil well near
Titusville, Pennsylvania was found
where oil spontaneously came to the
surface of the land. Mt licerally leaked
out of the rocks which inspired a man
named Colonel Drake to recover this
“rock oil” and sell it as an inexpen-
sive substitute for whale oil. Proper
recovery of the oil by simply
collecting from trenches did not work
out well. This finally - after some
vears of trial and error - resulted in
1859 im the carly technique of drilling
to collect the oil from its point of
origin, initially at a depth of 2)
metres.
In 1897, this was followed by
extensive successful drilling on the
beach and extended to approximately
90 metres in the ocean on the
coastline of South Carolina, the first
sleps to offshore activities!
was
Exactly 50 years later on the 4h of
November 1947 the first real offshore
oil was found out of sight of land in
the Gulf of Mexico, 9 seamiles
offshore in a water depth of as little as
6 metres. From then on over the last
SO years progress has been revolu-
tionary. Offshore oil and gas develop-
are now taking place in over 40
countries, hundreds of kilometres
trom the shore in ever-increasing
waterdepths.

4.3 Definition of “Offshore”
The word “Offshore” in the Oil and
Gas Industry refers to industrial
activities in open sea, starting from
the search (exploratiom) of oil and gas
to production (exploitation) and
transporting them to the shore.
The Offshore is part of an industry
that actually designs, builds and
operates the offshore structures to
allow the execution of offshore
activities.
b.2 Drilling ship
A ship-shaped drilling ship is used for
dtilling exploration and production
wells in medium 10 deep water (from
150 ta 3000 metres water depth)
A modem driil ship can obtain au
average speed of 14 knots in transit
with a high driling equipment storage
capacity. The vessel is ideal for
drilling consecutive wells in different
parts of the world.
To maintain position during drilling
operations the ships are either anchor
moored in an anchor pattem or rely
on dynamic positioning (DP).

b.3 Semi-submersible drilling unit
A semi-submersible drilling unit is
used for drilling the exploration and
produetiou wells in 150 - 2,500 m
water depth.
Anchored units can operate in max.
1500 m water depth. Dynamically
positioned vessels can operate
independent of water depth (up to
around the year 2000 drilling was
performed in max. 2,300 m water
depth).
An important advantage of the semi-
submersible type in comparison with
the ship-shaped type drilling vessc! is
the better motion behaviour of the
unit in harsh environments which can
give an extended working window
«d/f2 Crane vessels
These are semi-submersible barges or
vessels. equipped with one or two
heavy-duty offshore cranes. The
largest crane vessels are the Semi-
Submersible Cranc Vessels (SSCV).
The maximum hoisting capacity is
today (2003) 7,000 tonnes per crane,
The vessels arc used for transpor-
tation and installation of large
modules (weighing up to 12.000
tonnes) of fixed offshore platforms.
The base of the platform (called
jacket) is either launched from a
barge or lifted onto the sca-bed by the
erane vessel prior to installation of the
topside modules. After installation of
the jacketit is firmly connected to the
seabed by steel piles, that are driven
down by large hydraulic hammers
suspended from the offshore cranes.
More recently the crane vessels are
also used for the removal of offshore
platforms when the oil/gas reservoirs
are depleted. Some crane vessels also
have pipelaying facilities.

e.2 Tension Leg Platform (TLP)
The Tension Leg Platform is used for
drilling and production purposes. The
unit resembles a semi submersible
drilling unit and is attached to the sea
floor with tensioned steel cables, The
buoyancy of the platform applies
tension 10 the cables. The advantage
of the TLP is the economical aspect in
comparison with the fixed platforms,
specifically for decper water. In case
the production in a particular field
goes down, this platform can be re-
used in other locations.
«3 FPSO (Floating Production

An FPSO is a floating unit, which is
installed on or in close vicinity of an
oil or gas field for receiving,
treatment, storage and offloading of
oil and/or gas to a shuttle tanker. [tis

ge Anchor Handling Tug (AHT)
An anchor handling tug is used to set
and retricve anchors of moored
offshore units and for towing these
units, The AHT often looks similar to
a PSV, but has a shorter aft deck and
an open stem with a stern roll to be
able to pull anchors on the deck. If the
anchor handler can also function as à
supplier it is called an Anchor
Handling Tug Supplier (AHTS).
(see illustration chapter 1, section 9)
g.2a Diving Support Vessel (DSV)
Diving support vessels are used to
support divers doing inspection,
construction or repair work on subsea
structures. To facilitate the diving
operations DSVs have diving beli(s)
aud decompression chambers for the
divers. A moonpool is uscd to lower
divers or subsca tools.
Such a subsea tool is the Remotefy
Operated Vehicle (ROV), a self-
propelled robot for
inspection or construction and repair
work, Usually the ROV is connected
by an umbilical to the support vessel.
underwater
DSVs are anchor moored or
dynamically positioned. Wien
working with divers, very strict
requirements to the anchor mooring
or DP system apply. as a driltcoff of
the DSV could bring the divers in
danger. Therefore DSVs have to
comply with the highest DP standards
(DP class 3).
Ship Rmenslentge, «a moderm encyclopedia
g.2b Multipurpose Support Vessel (MSV)
A multipurpose support vessel is
somewhat similar to a diving support
vessel, but has no facilities for divers.
Without diving operations, the DP
requirements are less stringent. MSVs
can be uscd for a large variety of tasks
like:
-survey work (e.g. seabed, pipeline,
subsea structure):
-(subsca) construction, installation
and maintenance or repair work;
-trenching of cables or pipelines:
-instalation of flexibles;
-well intervention and workover
services.
MSVs typically have a relatively
large accommodation, à heli-deck, a
flat work-deck aft, (heave-
compensated) crane(s) and/or an A-
frame aft and moonpool(s) for
controlled lowering of ROVs or other
equipment. The vessel can be ship-
shaped or of the semi-submersible
type. Often an MSV also has facilities
for divers and can work as a DSV.
g.3 Standby vessels and chase vessels
Standby vessels stay in the neigh-
bourhood of platforms or offshore
operations to perform rescue opera-
tions in case of emergencies, Chase
vessels are used to chase ships away
from platforms, offshore operations
or seismic survey vessels and for
supply operations. Of course these
tasks can be combined in one ship.
Often converted fishing vessels are
used for this.

1.3 The tender
After having studied all the offers, the
shipping company will make a
definitivc choice for a particular
design. This leads to à preliminary
estimate of construction or preli-
minary building plan, a document that
may be as large as 200 pages. The
preliminary building plan is then sent
to two or three shipyards for an offer.
This procedure is called a tender, and
participating in it is called “to
tender”. Sometimes the EL demands
an “open tender" in which other
shipyards. if they are from the EU,
can partake.
It can sometimes take months for the
shipyards to caleulate an accurate
price from the tender. but they still do
not receive any money, there are still
no obligations. Finally the order will
be granted to one of the shipyards. In
this choice, not just the price is taken
into consideration, but also other
factors like the reputation of the
shipyard (working within budget and
time) and if the shipyard has
constructed a vessel for the shipping
company before.
1.4 The estimate of construction
After this preparation, often lasting a
year, the parties involved sign the
final building contract, The building
contract establishes all the legal
positions and commercial conditions
between the shipyara, the shipping
company and often also the financier.
Now that the building contract has
becn signed, all the parties have
obligations that start with the down
payment and end with the delivery on
completion and the final payment.
Within the contract there will be à
provision to allow [or adjustment of
the price should any changes be made
to the original design at some stage
during the building contract. For any
alterations or components of which
the price is unknown the price will be
estimated and included with any other
estimates. The payment will be
settled at a later date in accordance
with the provisions made within the
contract, Part of the building contract
is the estimate of construction, which
Ship Knowledge, à modem encyclopedia
describes the ship in detail and has a
fully claborated general arrangement
plan. The shipyard assigns a yard
number to the future ship, which is
stated on all the drawings and
documentation. At this point the clock
starts to lick for the lime of
construction.
2. Design and construction
The building time, as agrecd in the
contract, comprises the design phase
and the building phase. The building
time varies between 6 and 24 months.
A building group is formed by the
shipping company and the shipyard
who both appoint people, who are ,
each person ir his or her own field of
expertise, responsible for the entire
building process until the delivery.
2.1 The design department
(engineering)
The design department is often called
the drawing office, even though
nowadays there is not a single
drawing table to be found. The ship is
worked out in detail in construction
drawings (or sheer plan or working
plan) and floor plans. The schemes of
all the mechanical, — hydrauhe,
pneumatie, and efectrical systems are
detailed and the accommodation is
dravn in
Certain essential drawings have to be
submitted to the classification society
where the ship is to be registered. And
even though people from the shipping
company are in the building group,
some drawings stll need approval
from the management of the shipping
company. Furthermore, the whole of
the design has to live up to (legal)
demands of the classification bureau,
who regularly send their inspectors to
the shipyard to assure compliance
with jnitially approved drawings.
There are shipyards that have a small
design department. They will contract
the design out to an independent
marine engineering office, or they
will co-operate with other shipyards,
The working out of all the details to a
complete and approved set of
drawings takes tens of thousands or
even hundreds of thousands of hours.
This is costly: as a rule of thumb up to
10% of the total building price is
estimated,
In many countries there exists a good
co-operation between the various
shipyards. and standardisation has led
A cross-section on a screen
to a better match of products and
computer-programme. This makes it
increasingly easy for shipyards to
build parts for cach other.
2.2 Specialist knowledge
For certain difficult areas of design,
specialist rescarch and engineering
firms are approached. These firms
will produce work for:
= the optimisation of the shape of the
ship
- caleulations on noise and vibrations
- the optimisation of the propellers.
dueis and rudders
Research on the shape is done both by
computer calculations and results of
model testing in one of the model
tanks. The resistance curves for
example are obtained by measuring
the required propulsion power at
different draughts and speed. in
addition to this, research is done on
the influence of swell on the specd,
the necessary propulsion power,
navigability, the rolling and pitching
behaviour and manoenvrability. in the
case of very large ships. research is
done on the extreme forces and
mements cf inertia that arise in the
ship in case of heavy swell.
The optimisation of the ship's shape is
a very Iaborious task where
measuring and caleulating go hand in
hand.

2.4 The production
A ship is constructed in various
stages, which can sometimes overlap:
- pre-treatmem
- building by panel
- building by section
- building of hull and deckhouse
- painting
- launching
- fitting out and subseguently
completion
- trjals at the shipyatd
- sea trial
Automation 9f the steel construction
has led to more efficiency, Further
more, the designers will design the
sections in such a way that as much
welding as possible can be done by
welding robots. Building by section
enables parts of the double bottom,
the foreship and the aft ship to be
welded whilsi Iying upside down in
the workplace. This way of welding
produces à uniform quality of the
welds within less production time,
Because access to the different
sections is much more restricted when
they are joined together, the sections
are completed as far as possible prior
to the joining. This means that piping
systems, tanks, filters and other small
auxiliaries arc all placed in the section
before the joining of all the sections.

Modern shipyards do the actual
building in large indoor assembly
halls where hey use pre-painted steel
plaies. After welding the plates, the
joints are immediately painted.
Several factors determine where he
ship will be finished. The finishing is
either done in the assembiy hall or at
the fitting out dock. In some cases the
deckhouse can not physically fit into
the assembly shop. And if the
Iaunching of the vessel is going to be
an end-launch, the vessel should have
the minimal amount of weigh on
board. The launehing is always an
exciting moment because at the
moment the ship is launched, there is
no way of stopping it

much speed that it takes a lot of cffont
to stop the vessel in the water. In side-
launches, the ship can bounce back
against the wharf, especially when
the water level is high, The ship does
not gain much speed, hut instead
produces very high waves. After the
launch, the final touches like masts,
hatches, sometimes the engines,
funnel, ventilation shafts, cranes etc
are added to the ship at the fitting out
dock. Finally, the cabins and other
spaces are furmished and the
inventory is brought on board,
When the ships electrical wiring is
ready, it is connected to the shore
supply to get a voltage. After this all
the engines, generators and auxi-
liaries are brought on line and the
ship can then begin to function
independent from the shore. Upon
completion of the vessel in the
shipyard atl the final testing will be
conducted at the shipyard with the
exception of items which can only be

tested during sea trials in open sea.
Final testing at the shipyard is related
to electrical systems, engines, gene-
rators, pumps. technical equipment,
life-saving equipment and a light
weight / stability test. Final testing in
open sea is mainly related 10 final
testing of machinery under working
conditions, fuel consumption, vessel's
speed, rudder tests and anchortests.
In principle all these tests will be
conducted in the presence of the
owner's representative(s), classifica-
tion surveyor(s) and - if applicable -
National Authority representative(s).
Next is the first, technical, sea trial,
which can sometimes take up to 2
days. This is the first time that the
ship leaves the shore and is
completely self-reliant. The ship as a
whole and all of its parts are
extensively tested and all the results
are carefully recorded. The classi-
fication society and the Shipping
inspectorate are also present to sec if
all the legal demands are met.
In general, these trials are usually
successful, but there are always small
imperfections which can be amended
during or after the trial. How the ship
exactly behaves in open sea will
become clear when the ship is in use;
however, the speed and fuel
consumption of the empty ship can be
measured during sea trials.
2.5 The logistics
More and more shipyards advertise
shorter delivery periods, and more
and more shipping
stipulate that. Im order to facilitate
this trend, lots of shipyards contract
other shipyards to build parts of the
ship. It is also common that the hull
of the ship is construeted in cheaper
countries and that the hull is fitted out
and completed locally. But even
without these measures, all the semi-
finished parts must be ready for the
next phase of construction to
commence. Besides, all the
purchased parts must be ready in
time, but not too early because of the
costs for storage and the loss of
interest. Keeping the construction
process manageable requires that à

1 General
There are many forces acting on a ship. How they act is largely determined by
the purpose the ship was built for. Forces on a tugboat will be different from
the forces acting on a container ship. The types of forces that occur in waves
are the same for every ship but the magnitudes and points of action depend on
the shape of the ship below the waterline,
The pattem of forces on a ship is very
complicated and largely depends on
the following parameters:
the weight of the empty ship
the weight of the cargo, fuel,
ballast, provisions, etc.
- ice
- hydrostatic* pressure on the hull
applied by the water
hydrodynamic* forces resulting
from the movement of the ship in
the waves
vibrations caused by engines,
propeller, pitching
- incident forces caused by docking,
collisions
These and other forces cause the ship
to be deflected. When the force stops
acting, the ship will regain ils original
shape. Every ship is different and
some have more or less of this
Iexibility. If, however, the forces
execcd a cerain limit, the defor-
mation can be permanent,
Assttip with heel in am unstable situation.
2 Longitudinal strength
2.1 Shearing forces
When a ship is in calm water, the total
upward force will equal the total
weight of the ship. Locally this
equilibrium will not be realised
because the ship is not a rectangular
homogeneous object, The local
*Static and dynamic
The concepts static and dynamic are widely used in this and other
chapters. Static means that the work done on an object is absorbed
immediately. Dynamic means that the work done on an object is absorbed
gradually.
Examples of static:
- Aswing with a child is slowly pushed forwards from rest. This is a
static movement because the force exerted on the swing is absorbed
instantancously,
- Acrane on a ship is loading a ship with cargo, As the cargo runner is
stiffened, the ship lists slowly. This is a static movement because the
ship absorbs the force that Jifts the weight instantaneously.
Examples of dynamic
- The same swing is pushed forwards suddenly, The weight of the swing
cannot absorb this sudden burst of force and gets out of control. This is
a dynamic motion.
- The same crane has lifted the weight several metres, The weight
suddenly snaps and falls on the quay, This causes the ship to list
violentIy to the other side. The ship is unable to absorb the sudden
change in weight and, as a result, acquires a dynamic motion.

The mean resultant per compartment
is given as a vector on the line below.
The load eurve gives the difference
of the up- and downward forces per
metre at each point on the baseline.
The sum of the areas above the
baselinc and the areas below the
baseline should be equal.
The shearing force curve gives a sum
ofthe shcaring forces on the right part
produced by the left side, going from
left to right. If the direction of the
force is changing (from upward to
downward or vice versa). the shearing
force curve will change from rising to
falling or vice versa, The shearing
force curve has an extreme value at
the points where the direction of the
force is changing. Converting the
load curve to 4 shear force curve is

called summing. The sum of the areas
above the baseline has to equal the
sum of the areas below the baseline.
The shearing forces are expressed in
tons.
The bending moment is determined
by summing the shearing forces going
from left to right.
The bending moment is expressed in
tonmetre (tm). If the shearing force
curve changes (rom rising 10 falling
or vice versa, the bending moment
will bend at the bending point from
“hollow” to "round" or vice versa.
When the shi

The situation in figures | and 2 is
called a hogging condition and the
situation in figures 3, 4, 5 and 6 is
called a sagging condition. Around
the half height of the vessel there is a
“neutral zone”. Here there are hardiy
any lension or compression stresses.
However. especially at the ends of the
vessel. heavy horizontal shearing
stress can occur.
2.3 Longitudinal reinforcements
The preceding shows that the biggest
stresses occur in the outer fibres: in
the shear strake, bilge strake, upper
strake of the side bulkhead and
bottom strakes. This is were the
thickest plating is applied. The
pictures above show a view that
clearly emphasizes the difference in
plate thickness between the upper
strake of the side bulkhead and the
side bulkhead just below it. In this
ship (container feeder) the upper
strake of the side bulkhead is about
2.5 times as thick as the continuous
side bulkhead. The place where the
plate thickness changes (from 22 mm
to 9 mm) is called the taper.
2.4 The loading programme
When the ship's officer has entered
the weight of all the items on the ship
into the loading programme, the
computer can calculate the stability,
shearing forces and bending mo-
ments. The program compares the
present situation with (he regui-
rements and regulations of the
classification bureau and the proper
authorities. The following pages
contain a number of examples of
loading situations as the computer on
board depicts these. The situations
have been greatly exaggerated for
elarity. Of the total loading
programme, only a few (shortened)
pages are shown.
Ship Knowledge, a modem encyclopedia
Situation 1
Only the holds in the fore and the aft
ship are loaded, resulting in a great
hogging moment. The graph shows
that the bending moment reaches the
Jimit for seagoing condition. There-
fore, this is a dangerous situation.
During (un)loading in port this
bending moment is still allowable.
The difference between maximum
allowable bending moments at sea
level and in the harbour comes from
the additional bending moments due
the waves at sea.
Situation 2
The cargo is distributed equally over
the whole ship, resulting in modest
shear forces and bending moments.
Because part of the cargo is placed on
the main deck, the initial stability
(GMO) is negative. This means that
the centre of gravity (G) is above the
metacentre (M) when the ship has no
list. When the ship starts listing M
will move upwards due to the
widening of the waterline till it
reaches G. In case of an increasing
difference between G and M the ship
will eventually capsize.
Situation 3
Only the holds in the midship section
are loaded. Because of this the ship
experiences a large sagging moment.
The maximum bending moment
exceeds the acceptable bending
moment for seagoing condition at
Ya L (frame 108) by 29%. In port this is
still permissible. See also the table
“strength summary" and the graph of
bending moments.

6 Stiffening
6.1 Purpose of stiffeners
To prevent the planes (plate fields) of
a ship from distorting under influence
of the shearing loads, bending
moments and local loads, they have
to be stifiened. Examples of planes
are the shell, decks, bulkheads and
tank top, Compared te the dimensions
of the ship, the plating is not very
thick (abem 10 - 20 mm). Once the
stiffeners are in place. they also
contribute to the reinforcement of the
plane by reducing the tensions in it
and by preventing local buckling.
This enables the stiffened planes to be
thinner than the planes, which are not
strengthened.
An example of this are the frames on
the inside of the skin, most of which
are of the type “Holland Profite”
(HP). The drawings show the impor-
tance of stiffening.

Angle profile
Flat bar
Fones on a plate with an HP-frame or
angie bar at the place of bending. The
placing ofan HP-frame or angle bar
instead of à single strip will reduce the
risk of bending.
Jf all the frames run parallel (in either
athwart or fore and aft direction) il is
possible that the frames can bend
perpendicular to the frame direction.
To prevent this, a stiffening is placed
perpendicular to the frame direction.
Such a stiffening is culled a stringer
for transverse frames and a webframe
for longitudinal frames. Bulkheads
are also consiructed using this
system. In the case of decks, deck
beams and deck girders form the
suffening.
Similur stiffenings have different
names for different planes.
