Hull Construction

OPA '90 and parallel IMO rules are driving a phased changeover in tanker design from single-hull to double-hull construction. This paper describes field observations and analyses of two of the more persistent innerbottom design problems: the joint between frame vertical stiffeners and longitudinals, and panel cracks along the innerbottom/longitudinal seams. Potential shortcomings in applicable classification society rules are addressed, and possible solutions at both the design and repair stage are offered.
