Analysis Inferences:

 Localized high stresses found at the stiffeners ends since they were not considered to be
welded to the hull shell and the deck. Analysis may be done to check if the stresses have
reduced on welding the stiffeners to the hull shell and the deck.(i.e all stiffener end
faces to be fixed support)
 As of now, to maintain FOS of 1.5 atleast, maximum permissible water ballasting level
is 3.5 m.
