INTRODUCTION

Abulk carrier,bulk freighter,orbulkeris amerchant

shipspecially designed to transport unpackagedbulk cargo,
such as grains, coal, ore, and cement in itscargo holds. Since
the first specialized bulk carrier was built in 1852, economic
forces have fuelled the development of these ships, causing
them to grow in size and sophistication. Today's bulkers are
specially designed to maximize capacity, safety, efficiency, and
to be able to withstand the rigours of their work.
Today, bulkers make up 15% - 17% of the world'smerchant
fleetsand range in size from single-hold mini-bulkers to
mammoth ore ships able to carry 400,000metric tons of
deadweight(DWT). A number of specialized designs exist:
some can unload their own cargo, some depend on port
facilities for unloading, and some even package the cargo as it
is loaded. Over half of all bulkers have Greek, Japanese, or
Chinese owners and more than a quarter are registered
inPanama. Korea is the largest single builder of bulkers, and

LITERATURE REVIEW
In this project , we have done the preliminary calculations
bulk carrier type
Vessels . First of all we collected parent ship data of 20
ships from gross tonnage.com and worldship.com
.using this data, we calculated Fn , L/B,
D /T,B/T, and power for that 20 ships. After that , we
calculate the main dimensions using graphical method.
From the preliminary ship design document, we used the
formulas to do the
Calculations in order to calculate the main dimensions.
After doing these calculations , finally we calculate the
deadweight estimations. Using this estimations we
calculate the percentage difference in displacement.

STEM AND STERN PROFILE

The stem and stern profiles
are taken from the general
arrangement drawing of the
basic ship.
The stern profile is adjusted
according to the min rudder
clearence which is required.

Generation of sectional
area curve
Sectional area curve using trapezium method.
The length of run and entrance are calculated using
formulae. The length of parallel middle body is
calculated.
Lr= 3.2*sqrt(b*t)/Cb
Le= 0.217 *v^2
The curve is to be approximated such that the
area of the curve should be equal to underwater
volume and the LCB should match with calculated
value.

Generation of Lines plan

The Lbp is divided into
equal no. of stations.
The body plan is drawn
by matching the
sections in the sectional
area curve.
From this body plan the
waterlines and profile
are drawn.

Holtrop calculation
By an approximate power prediction
method by J.Holtrop and
G.G.J.Mennen
This method is useful in determining
the required effective power at the
initial design stage of the ship
Therefore the Initially estimated
power required is 11123.783 kw
