One
of the features of SPB is free shape of tank. SPB tank is prismatic
tank but more accurately free shaped tank with stiffened plates.
Tank can be designed like diamond-cut shape.
This allows us
to design the shipfs hull first considering the best hull performance
within given design conditions such as draft, beam, etc. and then design
tanks to follow the hull contour, leading to the compact ship with ideal
hull form. |
