Abstract

The subject of this study is to identify the influence of corrosion over the hull of a VLCC. Two cases are analysed, as built thickness and the thickness according to measurements after 15 years of service. Strength analysis was perform using 3D-FEM tools over three cargo hold model. Yielding ratio criteria was used as checking criteria.

Keywords

Corrosion Influence, Three Cargo Hold Model, 3D-FEM Numerical Analysis, VLCC.

Abstract

The subject of this study is to identify the influence of corrosion over deck plating of a VLCC. The main deck of the ship was affected by pitting, firstly initiated by coating breaking following by scratching and spill of various aggressive liquids. Strength analysis was performed using 3DFEM tools over three cargo hold model. Yielding ratio criteria was used as checking criteria.
