Abstract:
The Multipurpose Supply Vessel (MPSV) is an innovative vessel engineered
to cater to a multitude of purposes. Its versatile design enables it to efficiently
transport and supply cargo and personnel to offshore oil and gas installations.
Additionally, the MPSV is equipped to undertake a diverse range of tasks,
including subsea construction and maintenance, thereby enhancing its
operational capabilities. The objective of this project is to ascertain an
appropriate hull structure component that is compatible with the Multi-Purpose
Support Vessel (MPSV). The structural compromise within the vessel's hull
has the potential to result in more extensive and consequential damage. The
occurrence of numerous ship hull failures throughout history has resulted in
the unfortunate loss of hundreds of vessels. One prevalent issue encountered
in hull structures pertains to the presence of structural design flaws (Vukelić,
G., & Vizentin, G., 2017). To address this particular issue, it is recommended
to make adjustments to the design of the scantling structural component by
utilizing the ASTM A572 material. This material is chosen due to its remarkable
strength-to-weight ratio, commendable resistance to corrosion, enhanced
ductility, and exceptional weldability properties. The structural preliminary
design methodology for a ship's hull structure entails a systematic approach
aimed at ensuring the development of an optimal and efficient design. The
parent hull serves the purpose of housing the hull form, specifically the MMA
Pride with Monohull Structure. The analysis of A572 indicates that the
utilization of this particular component in the MPSV effectively mitigates stress
levels at the critical section. The outcomes of the conducted research play a
pivotal role in fostering innovation and driving progress within the domain of
MPSV (Multipurpose Support Vessel) design. Furthermore, the conducted
research serves to enhance the comprehension of structural design principles
that are particularly tailored to multi-purpose support vessels (MPSVs).
