Project for modification of bulker for carryieng containers

We recently completed a very interesting project for Container Socket Installation on a Bulk Carrier. We performed a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for the integration of the container socket in the Hold structures on the vessels.

Our engineers did all of the necessary calculations to show the response of the structure to the increased load as a result of the added container weight and forces and strength calculation of the new double bottom structure reinforcement elements.

All of the calculations were performed on ANSYS.
