STRENGTH EVALUATION OF NOVEL UNIDIRECTIONAL-GIRDER-SYSTEM PRODUCT OIL CARRIER BY RELIABILITY ANALYSIS

A new concept of ship hull structure has been developed in which a complete double-skinned hull is stiffened by only longitudinal girders and double-skinned transverse bulkheads. The paper describes this unidirectional girder system and its advantages in design, construction, performance and application to a product oil carrier.
