In 2013, Bureau Veritas has received a request for the classification for a LNG carrier with spheres, of a capacity of 182,000 m3, the largest capacity ever built so far for this type of ships with spheres.
For that purpose, Bureau Veritas has carried out a set of assessment of the ship structure, including:
• Assessment of the scantlings of the tank,
• Full ship analysis with the finite Element method,
• Analysis of ship hull torsion,
• Buckling analysis,
• Fatigue analysis…
The paper presents an overview of these analyses.
