Fatigue analysis for life extension of a ship is different from that of a newly constructed ship since the current corrosion margin and voyage routes of the past and future must be considered, thereby complicating the life extension procedure. This research introduces the fatigue analysis case for the life extension project of a moss LNG carrier using full spectral fatigue analysis, which has been previously used for newly constructed ships. It is expected that the fatigue analysis methodologies and full spectral fatigue analysis program used in this study will be applicable to other life extension projects.
