Objective Development velrome LNG carrier.Part 1: shipSoftwear design work has been completed to provide the basic data for any future detailed design work to be done by a yard. A model (1:42 scale) was tested and extrapolation made to determine the required horse power. Manoeuvrability was tested giving good results.Part 2: Cryogenic systemThe results of this development are listed below:- general arrangement- cylindrical container lay out- container details (pipelines, stairways, platform, manhole, ASO)- supporting grid- load and discharge diagram- piping general arrangement.Lloyd's has accepted the lay out of the cryogenic system underneath the desk. Furthermore, "large-scale structural analysis" was performed by Lloyd's and the behaviour of the integrated containment system was found to be satisfactory.The project envisages the development of a very large gas carrier over 3 000 000 m3. The design will consider already proven concepts.- The hull of the ship is of conventional container shal design, adapted to the need of the cryogenic containment system and to the requirement of shallow draft.- The containment system consists of several vertical aluminium cylinders. The project is devided into 2 main phases:Part 1: ship- remaining basic development of ship hull- model testing a ship hullPart 2: cryogenic system- design of cryogenic containment system- 3d structural analysis- design of ancillary cryogenic equipment- design of operating equipment- model testing and construction of model and related equipment.
