Type A LPG Carrier is the ship using the low temperature independent cargo tank separate from the hull, which has various support structures for laying independent tanks on the hull. In this paper, the direct strength analysis for the support structures has been performed through the direct load analysis, load transfer, stress analysis and strength assessment. Also, a rational modeling method of support structures has been proposed to obtain the dynamic load between the hull and the separate tank.

An attempt to improve the speed performance through the minimizing in wave resistance has been done by an application of gooseneck and no bulb type to bulbous bow for the DSME 78,500 Class LPG Carrier on the basis of the CFD calculation and comparatives model tests. The hydrodynamic characteristics according to the variation of the shape of Cp-curve, design load water line, frame line and bulbous bow that have an important effect on the wave resistance has been evaluated/calculated by ship-flow code. A wide variety in hull variation have been tried to have a good hull form with three types of fore-body hull forms mainly classified by the shape of bulbous bow. The speed performances for the three final hull forms with different bulbous bows have been evaluated through the model tests.

Generally in order to reduce the steel weight of stiffened plate, stiffener spaces tend to be narrow and the plate gets thin. However, it will involve more fabrication cost because it can lead to the increase of welding length and the number of structural members. In the yard, the design which is able to reduce the total fabrication cost is needed, although it requires more steel weight. The purpose of this study is to find optimum stiffener spaces to minimize the fabrication cost for the cargo tank of LPG Carriers. Global optimization methods such as ES(Evolution Strategy) and GA(Genetic Algorithm) are introduced to find a global optimum solution and the sum of steel material cost and labor cost is selected as main objective function. Convergence degree of both methods in according to the size of searching population is examined and an efficient size is investigated. In order to verify the necessity of the optimum design based on the cost, minimum weight design and minimum cost design are carried out.

일반적으로 LPG 운반선의 화물창은 국제해사기구(IMO)에서 정의한 독립형 탱크 Type A에 해당하며, 탱크의 외부는 폴리우레탄 폼으로 단열하고, 탱크는 영하 50도에서도 견딜 수 있는 값비싼 저온 강으로 제작된다. 따라서, 화물창 재료의 절감은 많은 비용의 절감으로 직결된다. 화물창은 외판, 격벽, 보강재, 웨브 프레임 및 스트링거로 구성된다. 그 중에서 외판, 격벽과 보강재는 구조해석 없이 선급 규정에 의해 설계될 수 있어 용이하게 최적 설계를 통해 설계된다. 하지만, 웨브 프레임과 스트링거는 구조해석을 통해 설계하고 선급승인을 받아야 하므로, 수없이 많은 구조해석을 포함하는 최적 설계는 사실상 수행하지 못하고, 수 십 번의 구조해석을 통해 설계치수를 결정하는 적정설계만을 수행하는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석을 위해 2번 화물창을 대표 화물창으로 선정하여 8개의 하중조건을 적용하였고, 각 하중조건에 대한 선박 전체의 변형을 고려하였다. 또한, 탐색시간이 효과적인 미분 기반 최적화 기법을 통해 82,000 ㎥ LNG 운반선의 웨브 프레임을 대상으로 최소중량설계를 수행하였다. 본 연구를 통해 총 48개의 설계변수 치수를 결정하였고, 척 당 약 108 톤의 강재를 절감하였다.

특수선은 일반화물과 달리 적$\cdot$양하를 위한 준비가 순차적으로 이루어져야 하며 LNG 및 LPG 운반선은 화물이 극저온 혹은 고압이라는 특성 때문에 고도의 안전성이 요구된다. 또한 인명 안전 및 해상환경 보호를 위해 액화물 취급의 중요성을 인식하면서도 과학적인 장비를 이용한 교육 ·훈련의 관심 부족 및 제도적 지원책이 미비하여 현재까지 해양교육기관에 설치된 장비는 거의 없는 상태이며 그나마 보유하고 있는 장비도 노후되어 원활한 교육$\cdot$훈련이 어려운 실정이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 본 연구는 특수선 특히 LNG선박의 적양하 작업을 시뮬레이션 할 수 있는 교육시스템을 개발하는 것이다.

IMO type C independent tank is one of the cargo containment system specified on IGC code. It is normally adopted for small and medium size liquefied gas carrier's cargo containment system and it can be applied to fuel tank of LNG fueled vessel. This study focuses on rule scantling process and evaluation methods in early design stage of type C independent tank. Actual design results of 22K LPG/Ammonia/VCM carrier's No.2 cargo tank are demonstrated. This paper presents the calculation methods of design acceleration and liquid height for internal design pressure as defined on IGC code. And this paper shows the applied results of classification rules about shell thickness requirement and buckling strength. Additionally this paper deals with evaluation methods of structural strength and cumulative fatigue damage using FE analysis.

Hull form generation and variation methods to be mainly discussed in this study are based on the fairness optimized B-Spline form parameter curves (FOBFC). These curves can be used both as indirect modification function for variation and as geometric entities for hull form generation. The flexibility and functionality of geometric control technique play the most important role for the success of hull form optimization. This study shows the hydrodynamic optimization process and the characteristics of optimum design hull forms of a 14,000TEU containership and 60K LPG carrier. SHIPFLOW has been used as a CFD solver and FS-Framework as a geometric modeler and optimizer.

Present-day rules and regulations for the design and construction of ships are almost without exemption of a prescriptive and deterministic nature. Often it is argued that this situation is far from ideal; it does no right to the advances, which have been made during the past decades in engineering tools in marine technology, both in methodology and in computational power. Within IMO this has been realized for some time and has resulted in proposals to use Formal Safety Assessment(FSA) as a tool to improve and to modernize the rule making process. The present paper makes use of elements of the FSA methodology, but instead of working towards generic regulations or requirements, a Risk Assessment Approach, not unlike a 'safety case'; valid for a certain ship or type of ship is worked out. Delft University of Technology investigated the application of safely assessment procedures in ship design, in co-operation with Anthony Veder Shipowners and safety experts from Safely Service Center BV. The ship considered is a semi-pressurized-fully refrigerated LPG carrier. On the basis of the assumption that a major accident occurs, various accident, scenarios were considered and assessed, which would impair the safety of the carrier. In a so-called Risk Matrix, in which accident frequencies versus the consequence of the scenarios are depicted, the calculated risks all appeared lo be in the ALARP('as low as reasonable practicable') region. A number of design alternatives were compared, both on safety merits and cost-effectiveness. The experience gained with this scenario-based approach will be used to establish a set of general requirements for safety assessment techniques in ship design. In the view that assessment results will be most probably presented in a quasi-quantified manner, the requirements are concerned with uniformity of both the safety assessment. These requirements make it possible that valid comparison between various assessment studies can be made. Safety assessment, founded on these requirements, provides a validated and helpful source of data during the coming years, and provides naval architects and engineers with tools experience and data for safety assessment procedures in ship design. However a lot of effort has to be spent in order to make the methods applicable in day-to-day practice.
