In this study, for engine room power systems in intelligent container ships, including cooling water subsystems, fuel oil subsystems, and main engine subsystems, a coordinated control scheme based on a correlation model and a distributed model predictive control approach was proposed to reduce continual fluctuations of control and output values through optimisation in a negotiated manner. The correlation model considers the interconnections among the subsystems, and the control approach achieves Nash equilibrium solutions. A comparative simulation was carried out between the proposed method and the decentralized model predictive control. The result shows that the proposed method works better than the decentralized one with less fluctuations.

As a result of the calculation, the mean water velocity at bilge main could not satisfy the 2m/s requirement while discharging all the accumulated water from the flooded No. 1 cargo hold with the actual arrangement installed on the 180K class bulk carrier. As a result of the calculation by modified arrangement, it was found that the 2 m/s requirement could be satisfied when a pipe smaller than the required internal diameter according to the rule requirements of classification societies was applied to the bilge main under the same pump conditions. In addition, it was found that the flow rate of the pump should be increased by at least 40% when piping acceptable for the rule requirements of classification societies was applied to the bilge main. The bilge pumping system of 180K bulk carriers may be similar for every ship, and in our opinion, urgent modifications and repair are necessary for consideration of the characteristics of bulk carriers with a relatively high risk of flooding. According to the GBS structure, the rule requirements of classification societies regarding bilge pumping system should comply with the intended purpose of SOLAS Regulation II-1/35-1. It is proposed to revise SOLAS Regulation II-1/35-1 by applying the concept of Performance-Based Standard (PBS) in order to secure the performance of the bilge pumping system by applying a pipe smaller than the required internal diameter according to the rule requirement of classification societies. In particular, it is proposed that SOALS Regulation II-1/35-1.3.9, the requirement for the required internal diameter of bilge main, should be deleted so that any size pipe can be used if the bilge pumping performance can satisfy the 2 m/s requirement. Finally, “2 m/s Criterion” is proposed only design criteria to fulfill the intended purpose of the 2 m/s requirement of SOLAS.","PeriodicalId":50313,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Maritime Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48498930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modern engineering analytical tools have been employed from time to time to investigate their stability, performance and structural characteristics.  The latter is perhaps the most challenging, since the physical problem is that of a hydro-elastic body in rough seas, constructed of a material with highly variable mechanical properties, fastened together by rivets, treenails, nails, spikes, lashings and wedges of uncertain joint efficiency. The corresponding analysis is potentially considerably more complex than the ‘linked-chain’ method commonly employed in modern design offices to establish acceptable scantlings, i.e. classification society rule loads and criteria together with reliable published material property data which are the essential inputs to scantling formulae/finite element analyses (FEA).  This paper outlines one small craft naval architect’s view of the issues involved in applying the standard structural design method to the analysis of a ship type which is radically different from modern craft and in so doing identify issues which may be of interest to modern naval architects analysing unconventional lightweight structures.","PeriodicalId":50313,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Maritime Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46228338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Open Class 3D Exchange (OCX) standard represents a step-change in this context. The OCX is a vessel-specific standard addressing the information needs of the classification society and is a key enabler to replace traditional 2D class drawings with a 3D model. The successful and seamless exchange of the design models exported from 4 independent 3D CAD systems to the classification society’s rule calculation tool has been demonstrated. The application of the OCX models for the prescriptive rule calculations demonstrates that the OCX model can carry all the information required by the classification society’s Rules for this purpose. The possibility to also display the detailed features of the design model in a neutral web-based viewer provides the necessary capability for full visual verification of the design models.","PeriodicalId":50313,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Maritime Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42142070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Marine fuels play a major role in this because of the emissions resulting from the combustion process associated with the prime mover(s), therefore, one of the technical solutions is to replace conventional marine fuels with cleaner fuels. Hence the aim of this study is to undertake environmental, technical, and economic analysis of alternative fuels to reduce the environmental footprint and lifetime costs of the long-distance shipping sector. As a case study, an ultra large container ship operating on the East-West trade route has been considered, and the analysis focus ed on natural gas and methanol as alternative fuels. This study adopted three approaches : environmental, technical, and economic methods to compare the alternative fuels with the conventional ones. The results showed that a dual-fuel engine operated by natural gas will reduce CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions by 28%, 98% and 85%, respectively , when compared with emission values for a diesel-powered engine. Furthermore, the reduction percentages reach 7%, 95% and 80% when using a dual-fuel engine operated by methanol, respectively. The proposed dual-fuel engines will improve the ship energy efficiency index by 26% and 7%, respectively. The study shows that methanol is the most economical alternative fuel for this container ship, replacing diesel with methanol, leads to a power system that is only 30% more expensive than the existing one. The analysis confirms that the cost of fuel has a major effect on the ship’s life cycle cost and that by reducing the fuel costs, the costs of the power system become more acceptable.","PeriodicalId":50313,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Maritime Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47502248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is often performed in towing tanks through captive model tests in towing tanks. However, discrepancies exist between model-scale and full-scale results. Besides, quite often, the wind is not included in the test, resulting in unrealistic assumptions of static pressure and constant heeling lever from the wind. This paper presents a study on transverse stability under wind, waves, and lifting conditions, incorporating several series of URANS-based simulations in model-scale and full-scale. According to the results, scaling effects accounts for about 3~15% in terms of roll amplitudes and it seems to be both frictional-force-related and wave-frequency-dependent. Wind force exerts limited influence on the vessel’s transverse stability, however, in waves especially for longer wavelength, a wind of 25 m/s increases the roll amplitude up to 53% and it appears to be wave frequency-dependant. The correlation between roll motion and wind/waves/lifting is complicated but their combination produces way more influence than any individual factor alone, indicating none of them should be neglected.","PeriodicalId":50313,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Maritime Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49374738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
