At the estuaries of Yangtze River to East China Sea and Zhujiang River to South China Sea, the seawater is full of sticky and fine-grained sediment, which will deposit in ship¡¯s double bottom along with the ballast water. Dealing with the sediment deposition is always a big challenge for ship owner and crews. To solve this problem, four new design concepts of anti-sediment on VLCC are presented in this paper, and the influences of such concepts on design and construction are discussed, especially on hull girder longitudinal strength and local strength.

 

KEY WORDS: anti-sediment; double bottom; ballast water; VLCC
