The effect of L/B and B/T variation on subdivision indexes

This paper examines the addresses the Ro-Ro ship regarding the effect of variation of bulkheads’ positions on the attained subdivision index. In addition L/B and B/T ratios were also varied to obtain the relation between the subdivision index and the varied ratios. The initial ship (car- truck carrier) was analysed first and the subdivision zones were established first along with the calculation of the attained and required subdivision indexes using the probabilistic method through GHS application. In order to improve the attained index and get a safer ship variations of positions of transverse bulkheads were investigated to get better indexes of the adjacent subdivision zones. Diagrams that show potential solutions for making the initial ship safer were presented.
