종강도 및 Bottom Damage를 고려한 300K VLOC의 최적구획검토

Study on Optimum Compartment of 300K VLOC Considered Longitudinal Strength and Bottom Damage

The last years have seen a dramatic increase of the new-building orders for Very Large Ore Carriers(VLOC), mainly driven by the increasing demand for iron ore imports from Australia and brazil to the steel mills in china. Thus the vibrant research of VLOC aimed cost-cutting by optimum compartment have conducted in recent years. In this study, we are also trying to find ways to reduce longitudinal strength by optimum compartment and check additionally whether the modified compartments were satisfied with SOLAS bottom damage.
