General arrangement and LNG tank arrangement

摘要

Developing the General Arrangement drawings is a task that requires close interaction with most of the other disciplines in a concept study. It is also important to have good knowledge about existing and future rules and regulations which may effect the general arrangement. For Quantum, the LNG tank arrangement was a particular challenge.rnTo produce drawings in a pulsating innovating team is a challenging task, involving parallel processes like making drawings, while container arrangement and hull structure continuously changes as a result of design iterations. Frequent project meetings with experts from relevant disciplines like stability, strength, noise & vibration, propulsion, machinery, hydrodynamics and CFD, yard/production, cargo handling and operation are all parts of the process to arrive at the optimal design. In such a process you also need to be pragmatic and not lose sight of the overall goal.
