Abstract

To improve productivity of the LNG carriers which are growing bigger and bigger, many researches are being carried out by shipyards. In this regard, we reviewed possible problems which could occur during the erection of 216K LNG carrier's motor/compressor room with all outfittings pre-installed. As a first item, the weights of hull and outfittings were precisely estimated to make sure that the erection is carried out within yard's capability. In the next place, deflection and safety of the structure were verified by FEM analysis. As a result, the erection was finished successfully and yard's productivity was also improved. This review is a good example which shows the importance of through study and preparation for improving yard's productivity which is already reached its limit.
