This paper presents methods for design and strength analysis of lifting lugs utilized in assembling, erection, and turning over of ship structures. Lifting lugs are designed in accordance with ASME BTH-1-2008; Design of Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices. Experimental tests for fillet welded joints were conducted to design weld size of lifting lugs and under-structures. The nonlinear finite element method, using MSC.Marc software, is employed for limit state assessment of lifting lugs in static loading conditions. The analysis considers nonlinearities in material properties and contact between lifting lug and pin.
