ABSTRACT

A method for manufacturing of modularized ship hull

A method for manufacturing of modularized ship hull involving a system of

databases dividing the ship length into three distinct zones comprising (a) aft

body extending from aft till forward of engine room forward bulk head, (b) fore

body extending from fore end of the ship till aft of fore peak bulk head and (c) mid

body consisting of the middle portion between the aft body and fore body;

identifying the functional requirements of the defined zones, ascertaining the

constructional parameters for the said three zones based on the available input

database and the functional requirements of the three zones; generating the

modular design; and merging the zones into a single continuous three

dimensionally faired body to thereby obtain the modular ship. The above method

of modularization would favour cost-effective, fast and user specific production of

various forms of ship hull.
