Design Methodologies of Ship General Arrangements - A Review

Abstract:

This paper presents an overview of ship general arrangement design methodologies and philosophies and early-stage design capabilities, particularly during the last decade. The arrangement of a ship has a unique feature in that it can both enable successful shipboard operations and constrain the performance of all subsystems. Stable ship layout is critical to producible, and therefore cost effective, designs and time. This paper overviews the efforts made by the researchers in the last decade to improve generating the arrangement rapidly . Also, identify areas of the ship general arrangements process that are insufficiently addressed or not addressed at all in order to keep pushing the field of general arrangements forward.
