Ship Design

The document discusses several requirements for ship design, including carrying capacity, speed, and special conditions. It notes that key dimensions like length, breadth, and draft must provide enough displacement for the ship's deadweight while accounting for the mass of its structure, equipment, and machinery. For passenger and cargo ships, the design process involves determining the necessary volume for accommodations, cargo, and machinery, then choosing principal dimensions that provide this volume in a stable and efficient configuration.

(b) ForCapacitycarriers Passenger ships are specified in terms of number of Passengers. From this it is possible to determine the volume of accommodation required including : public rooms, passageways, p g y , etc). ) To this must be added the volume of crew accommodation. In addition: the volume of machinery spaces, t k spaces, tank storage spaces etc. The principal dimensions of the main hull can then be chosen to provide this volume. These dimensions must be such that the proportions and form are satisfactory from the point of view of stability, resistance etc. Refrigerated cargo ships are specified in terms of net volume of refrigerated cargo space. To this must be added the volume of insulation, refrigeration machinery space etc. to obtain the gross volume required. After this the process is basically one of providing a hull which contains this volume, together with engine room, tanks etc.
