Hull form Development

• After modeling the vessel and placing the tanks it was found that the ship is a bit slim

• The beam of the vessel was increased to 18 m• With the length being 97 m, it gives us an L/B ratio 5.39• The parent vessels L/B ranges from: 4.7-6.1

LNG Tank Design

LNG Tank Thickness Calculations

Based on the Lloyds rules, we came up with three materials for the construction of the tank:

I. AluminiumII. 9Ni-Fe (Invar)III. 36-Fe

For each of the material we calculated the thickness based on the design pressure of 5 bar and inside radius of 6 meters.

Thickness of TankAl 40.9 mm9 Ni 13.6 mm36 Ni- Fe 13.4 mm

• Based on the thickness calculation, we calculated the weight of each tank.• And thus, the cost of each tank.

Based up on our analysis, we concluded 9Ni Iron to be the cheapest material for manufacturing of LNG tanks.

LNG Tank Material Selection

LNG Tank Insulation Selection

We came across three materials used to insulate LNG tanks.

• PU- Foam• Vacuum Perlite• Aerogel Mats

Each of the material has its own thickness requirement for insulation of LNG tanks.

InsulationPU- Foam 260 mm

Vacuum perlite 35 mm

Aerogel mats 165 mm

Based up on the thickness and considering the space requirements, we decided to opt for Vacuum perlite insulation.

Structural Calculations

Framing systems

1. Transverse framing

2. Longitudinal framing

We choose this based upon the ship’s length, and the corresponding hull buckling criteria

STABILITY

Intact Stability

We based our calculations on Lloyd’s rule to meet the following criteria IMO A 749 (18):

We finalized stability analysis of our ship based on three most probable cases in which the ship is going to be:

• For the Lightship condition

• For Partial Load Condition

• For Full Load Condition

Full load Stability Calculations

Damage Stability

• As per IGC code, gas carriers less than 100 meters in length comes under 2PG category

• 2PG ship is a gas carrier intended to transport LNG or similar products and products are carried in independent tanks type C.

• For 2PG category ships vessel must be able to float with 1 compartment completely flooded

POWER/RESISTANCE ESTIMATE

Addition of Bulbous Bow

• For the resistance and power estimation we considered the addition of bulbous bow to our model

• We estimated our results based on Kracht paper and Holtrop analysis

• The Bulbous bow area range was found to be from 11.2 – 21.4 sq meter

Resistance and Power EstimateTo find the resistance, an excel sheet was developed based on Holtrop paper

The Propulsive Horse Power was calculated including the effect of Bulbous bow, it was found that:

Bulb area of 11.2 m^2

Resistance: 153926 N

Power: 1623 Kw

Bulb area: 21.4 m^2

Resistance: 175644 N

Power: 1875 Kw

Without the bulb the following results was obtained:

Resistance: 164477 N

Power:1755 Kw

It was decided to go with the 11.2 m^2 bulb area.

Safety Considerations

• Communications and Monitoring – Use of Radio Communications

• Emergency Shutdown Devices are installed at each bunker manifold and Cargo control room

• Stainless steel Drip trays must be used to contain cryogenic cargo spills below all flanged connection

• Fixed fire fighting system to be installed near the bunker manifold and drip trays

• Manual release of the fixed fire system is easily possible from the accommodation, bunker station and different location on the deck

• Portable fire fighting equipment is placed near the bunker manifold

• Water curtain to be used below the LNG flanges

• Inerting and purging of bunker hoses and other lines has to be carried out before and after bunkering
