FINAL GENERAL ARRANGEMENT
5.1 Final General Arrangement
The General Arrangement of a ship can be defined as the assignment of spaces for all the required functions and equipment, properly coordinated for location and access. The general arrangement represents a summary or integration of information from other division and specialties in ship design to provide all necessary function of the ship in the most efficient manner.
The efficient operation of ship depends upon the proper arrangement of each separate spaces and interrelationships between the spaces. It is important that the general arrangement be functionally developed keeping in view of both construction and operation aspects.
The main requirements for a good general arrangement are
1. Adequate spaces for required function.
2. Structural Integrity.
3. Adequate access. This chapter describes the general layout of the ship. The ship has two decks – main deck and upper deck. It is designed to carry 450 passengers and has 8 crew members. For details refer, Drawing No: XXVII/02.
5.2 Subdivision of Ship According to LRS at least the following watertight bulkheads are to be fitted in all crafts.
• one collision bulkhead
• one afterpeak bulkhead
• one bulkhead at each end of the machinery space
The distance of the collision bulkhead from the FP is to be between 0.05L and 3+0.05L. i.e. 2.47m and 5.47m. Two engines are to be accommodated and hence two engine room, one aft and other ford of it are placed. The engine rooms are situated well aft. Aft peak bulkhead is located at the distance of 3.5 m from the aft perpendicular.
Bulkheads are also provided a the tank boundaries.
5.3 Frame Disposition [16]
The longitudinal division of a structure is to basic frame spaces is based on the rules specified by LRS SL. No Region Minimum Frame Spacing Required (mm) Selected Frame
