TOTAL SA, the Korean Shipyard SAMSUNG HEAVY INDUSTRIES and BUREAU VERITAS have teamed up, within the scope of a Joint Industry Project, to design a new generation of 180000m3LNG carrier with high energy efficiency considering future LNG trading patterns, new trading route and compliance with future environmental regulations.
In this purpose, a full hull form, propulsion and power generation optimisation has been performed for a pre-defined complete operational profile of the ship (i.e. full voyage including loading and unloading operations, manoeuvring, channeling, etc.).
The hull lines have been optimised by BV subsidiary HydrOcean using state-of-the-art Navier–Stokes Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD tools), considering both calm water performance and ship behaviour in waves.
The performance of the final design has been validated by calm water and seakeeping model tests.
