Bulk Structural 5

 

Transverse web and top side wing tank in bulk hold

Side structure

The upper and lower parts of the shell form the walls of the side tank and the hopper tank and have a longitudinal structure, and the central part has a transverse structure formed by the side transverse allowing cargo to flow down naturally.

A transverse rib structure is adopted to allow cargo to flow naturally.

Conventionally, a large special was built at the location of the hopper transverse to support the weight of ballast or oil in the side tank, but each classification society usually recommends uniformly increasing the section modulus.


Double bottom structure

It has a double hull structure between the bottom shell and inner bottom plates, and the girders and floors are orthogonal to each other in a lattice structure. 

The upper and lower inner bottom plates and bottom shell plates have a longitudinal rib structure to withstand the load or water pressure of the cargo hold and contribute to the longitudinal strength of the hull.

Conventionally, a large special frame was built at the location of the hopper transverse to support the weight of ballast or oil in the side tank, but each classification society usually recommends increasing the section modulus of the frame evenly.


The detailed types are as follows.

Girder: Vertical plate arranged along the length of the ship within a double bottom.

Centerline girder: Centerline girder placed on the centerline of the central section.

Duct girder: Forms the wall of a duct or a double bottom tank.

Hopper girder: Constructs the wall of the hopper tank

Side girder: common girder

Docking girder: Girder installed where half timber is placed.

Floors: Vertical plates arranged in the width direction of the ship within the double bottom, forming a lattice structure with girders to withstand the load of the cargo hold, the pressure of sea water due to large drafts when fully loaded, and the water pressure when used as a ballast tank. 


Hopper structure


It consists of 45-degree inclined plates attached to both corners of the cargo hold floor, and the inclination angle is adjusted considering the type of cargo and the cargo capacity of the cargo hold.~


Lastly, let’s look at the stool~

There are two types of stools. Up and down~

Lower stool: It serves to reduce the distance (span) between points of the bulkhead plate and is arranged in a box shape on the double bottom. Diaphragm plates to maintain the box shape inside are placed at intervals between girders within the double bottom, and reinforcement members in the longitudinal direction of the ship are installed at intervals between longitudinal ribs to provide adequate rigidity to withstand lateral loads.

Lower stool

And the upper stool: It has the effect of reducing the distance between the points of the corrugated plate, maintains the box-shaped structure between the windows, and provides rigidity against deformation of the form.~

Upper stool

This is a very brief look at the basics of bulk carriers. They said it would be explained in a very easy way, focusing on people working in the field, but I'm not sure.

Bulk 4 Structural Terminology and Forms

 Structural terminology and forms. First, this is the structure of the hold part where cargo is loaded. Typical Cargo Hold – single side skin There is a top side wing tank to prevent cargo from stacking and tilting. The hull shell is vertically reinforced with T-shaped webs (at regular intervals). The hopper tank is tilted at a 45-degree angle to avoid concentrated loads and makes loading and unloading of cargo easy. Also, cleaning is easy because it is tilted ~  The cargo floor is double bottom~ Typical Transverse Section The picture above shows the inside of the cargo window in section. Each term is written down.  The form of the structure is to use a tank by blocking the upper edge of the cargo hold with an inclined plate (top side tank), and to allow the side cargo to easily flow down, a hopper is installed by attaching inclined plates to the corners of both sides of the cargo hold floor.  The hopper has almost double the strength. It has the function of reducing...

Class Notation - Dr Choi shipbuilding cafe

  When a ship contract is signed, a notation is inserted into the contract. This time, we will organize the contents of these notations. First, the notations defined by the classification society are as follows. They indicate that the ship or facility has met certain essential requirements for the classification and are listed in the Class regulations related to each rule set. Class notations describe the structure or characteristics of the ship and are supported by technical requirements of the rules that can be clearly complied with. Sometimes, compliance with the rule requirements can be achieved by satisfactorily following ShipRight procedures (e.g. FDA, there may be other ways to demonstrate compliance with the rules). It is important to keep in mind that not all aspects of the Class Notation requirements are based solely on an evaluation of the ship plan against the rules, and many verifications are performed on site with the presence of an inspector. This is where the term S...

US shipbuilding revival policy, a 'double-edged sword' for Korean shipbuilding- Shipbuilding Maritime Story 2025-03-07 Dr. Choi's Shipbuilding Cafe

  ● US shipbuilding revival policy, a 'double-edged sword' for Korean shipbuilding: Coexistence of opportunities and threats Recently, as the US government has been promoting various policies aimed at revitalizing its own shipbuilding industry, a 'double-edged sword' situation is unfolding in the domestic shipbuilding industry. Expanding entry into the US MRO market As the demand for maintenance and repair of aging naval vessels is increasing in the US, domestic shipbuilding companies can gain opportunities to enter the US MRO market based on their high technological capabilities. In fact, major domestic shipbuilding companies such as HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, Hanwha Ocean, and HJ Heavy Industries have begun preparations to participate in the US naval vessel MRO business. Expectation of an increase in orders for high value-added ships The US is expanding investment in high value-added ships such as eco-friendly ships and smart ships, so domestic shipbuilding companie...
