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.
