Let us now look at the methods by which the designers ensure the strength in spite of these stresses. Before we go further we would like you to see the following. ► A bulwark with its stay ► A booby hatch or a tank opening (hint:
Modern ships vary considerably in details of their construction, according to their size and type, but almost all conform to basic systems of construction. They are all designed to cater to the intended use including: ■ Type of cargoes and / or passengers to be carried
Aim To understand the construction of various types of ships. In this module we will study the salient features of construction in different types of ships. Oil Tanker Twin longitudinal bulkheads divide the tank section into port, starboard and centre tanks. In most old tankers
