| description | Recently, shipyards have been booming in the product carrier (PC) market of the global shipbuilding industry. Due to the rising market conditions, orders for large container vessels and PCs are also steadily increasing. According to the industry, freight rates for LR tankers (70K) and MR tankers (50K) in the shipbuilding industry have rose to the highest level during the previous year. In order to secure the competitiveness of PCs, various core items are required, and Korean shipbuilders have been leading the market for a long time based on their knowledge of the design and production of low-fuel ships. In recent years, there have been frequent cases of coating cracks in the cargo hold after sea trial. All relevant rules presented by the classification so far are structural design, safety evaluation, and inspection standards, and coating cracks are considered a problem for coating makers. In other words, they must establish a standard coating measure agreed upon by all parties (owner, shipbuilder, and coating maker); therefore, solutions have been proposed by each shipping company. In this study, the causes of coating cracks occurring in the cargo hold of PCs during tank tests in sea trials were analyzed and measures to prevent them were studied. The main point of this study is assumed that coating crack are caused by mechanical load induced by structural behavior, and the numerical analysis methodology is newly introduced. Based on the results of the numerical analysis, it was confirmed that there is a high probability of coating cracks in the critical area where high stress occurs in the cargo hold. Therefore, the results obtained in this study will be useful to prevent coating cracks in future PC designs. |
