5. FINAL GENERAL ARRANGEMENT

5.1. Frame Spacing and Bulkhead Disposition
5.1.1 Introduction
The general Arrangement of a ship can be defined as the assignment of

spaces for all the required functions and equipments, properly coordinated for location
and access.
The requirements that must be met are,

a) Volume requirements
b) Adequate trim and stability
c) Structural integrity
d) Watertight subdivision and integrity
e) Adequate access to spaces.
The volume below deck is subdivided into:

a) Machinery space
b) Cargo spaces
c) Ballast spaces
d) Pump room
e) Slop Tank
5.1.2 Basic Hull Framing
The bottom shell, inner bottom, deck, side shell, inner hull bulkheads and
longitudinal bulkheads are longitudinally framed. Transverse framing is adopted in fore
peak region, aft peak region and machinery space region.
The different regions along with their rule spacing [LRS, Part 3,
and Chapter 5, 6] are given below,
a) Aft Ice breaking region: 500 mm (taken from trends in Russian Ice class 1A ships)
b) Aft of 0.05 L from AP

s = (470 + L / 0.6) = 908 mm (where L = 263 m) or 600 mm, whichever is the
lesser.
Taken s = 600 mm
86
c) Between 0.05 L and 0.15 L from AP

lesser.
Taken s = 850 mm
d) Forward of 0.05 L from FP

lesser.
Taken s = 600 mm
e) Between 0.05 L & 0.2 L from FP

lesser.
Taken s = 700 mm
f) Rest of spaces, s = 850mm is adopted.
The maximum frame spacing as permitted by the rules has been calculated. The
final frame spacing along the length in accordance with the rules is shown in the table.

a 500
b 600

d 600

Fig 5.1 Basic Frame Spacing
88
5.1.3 Number and Disposition of Bulkheads
The disposition of transverse bulkheads is to comply with the requirements of

LRS [LRS, Part3, Chapter 3&4], as applicable to ships with machinery located aft.
Minimum number of bulkheads = 9
Number of bulkheads taken = 9
5.1.4 Forward Collision Bulkhead
For ships with bulbous bow [LRS, Part 3, Chapter 3, Section 4] and LL ≥ 200,
the distance of collision bulkhead aft of fore end of LL in m is.
10 – f2 (minimum)
0.08 LL– f2 (maximum)
Where:
LL = load line length, is to be taken as 96% of total length on WL at 85%
of least moulded depth, or as the length from foreside of the stem to the AP on that
WL, if that is greater
f2 = G/2 or 0.015 LL m, whichever is the lesser
G = projection of bulbous bow forward of fore end of LL in m = 4.56 m
Here,
LL = 270.65 m.
G = 4.56 m.
Whence
f2 = 2.28 m.
Minimum distance = 10 – f2 = 7.72 m.
Maximum distance = 0.08 LL – f2 = 19.37 m.
Let’s take distance of fore peak bulkhead at a distance of 11.4 m from FP.
5.1.5 Aft Peak Bulkhead
All ships should have one aft peak bulkhead generally enclosing the stern
tube and the rudderpost. As provided in the parent ship, aft peak bulkhead is provided at
a distance of 12.6 m from AP.
89
5.1.6.1 Length of Engine Room
The length of engine room is determined by the power of the engine, type and
whether it is a slow-speed, medium-speed or high-speed engine.
Main engine particulars:
Type: 9TM620
Number: 3
Manufacturer: STORK WARTSILA DIESEL CO. Holland
Rated output: 12,750KW
Rated speed: 428rpm
Considering the frame spacing and the information from built ships the length
of engine room is fixed as 31.55 m. Length of pump room is 4.25m.
5.1.6.2 Cofferdams
Cofferdams are to be provided at the forward and aft ends of the oil cargo
space. These cofferdams should be at least 760 mm in length and should cover the
whole area of the bulkheads of the cargo space. Pump room has been incorporated as
the aft cofferdam. The fore peak tank forms the forward cofferdam.
5.1.6.3 Slop Tank
According to LRS rule, slop tank should be provided with a minimum capacity
of 3% of cargo carrying capacity.
3% of cargo carrying capacity = 3% of 150000 = 4500 t
Assuming a stowage factor of 1.2, 5400 m3 capacity is required for the slop tank, hence
length of slop tank taken is 5.1m
5.1.7 Length of Cargo Tanks

The structural configuration adopted has been one with a centreline
longitudinal bulkhead. For such a configuration the length of the tank [Part 4, Chapter 9]
should not exceed,
10 m or (0.25 bi/B + 0.15) LL m, whichever is the greater.
Where bi = minimum distance from side shell to inner hull of tank
measured inboard at right angles to the center line at
load water line.
90
Here bi = 3.0 m
LL = load line length, is to be taken as 96% of total length on WL
at 85% of least moulded depth, or as the length from foreside of the stem to AP on
that WL, if that is greater
Therefore, LL = 270.65 m
(0.25 bi / B + 0.15) LL= 44.76 m
According to the above mentioned restrictions the cargo region is divided into five.
For length of cargo tanks see table 5.2.
