Research on Intelligent Loading of Bulk Carriers

Abstract

With the rapid development of computer technology in recent years, the shipbuilding industry is accelerating its intelligent process. Intelligent cargo management is an important functional module of intelligent ships, and intelligent loading is an important part of intelligent cargo management. Cargo loading is an important link in the process of cargo transportation. The loading effect affects the sailing performance, safety performance and loading efficiency of the ship, so it is necessary to improve the intelligence of ship loading. Based on the calculation and research of the floating state, stability, structural strength and loading efficiency of the bulk carrier during loading, a general mathematical model for the intelligent loading of bulk carriers is established. The model comprehensively considers the influence of loading rounds, loading capacity and loading order. It is solved using an improved genetic algorithm to obtain optimized loading results. The loading case calculation was carried out using a 20000t bulk carrier as an example, and an optimized solution was obtained, which proved the effectiveness of the algorithm. The results show that the method can effectively improve the loading efficiency of the ship while ensuring that the ship has sufficient strength and suitable floating state.
