Container vessels Capacity and Stability
Using GetxoNaval program
In my post of October 12, 2012 I enclosed a reference to an aproximate calculation of capacity of container vessels that now I have included in a larger program, called GetxoNaval, made-up of a set of calculations relating to main aspects to be considered during the preliminary design of a merchant ship, i.e. the dimensioning stage. But the revised module corresponding to container vessels is far more complete than the one displayed in said blog post. It now includes stability calculation, static and dynamic, with corresponding curves.
Clicking on next link you will enter in GetxoNaval program, that at this moment includes following modules:
- Tonnage
- Cruising ships
- Stability cargo ship
- Stability deck barge
- Stability container carrier
- Hull forms (coefficients)
- Freeboard
- Maneouverability
- Lightship weight
- Predimensioning
- Powering
- Cargo & tanks capacities
- Help
Additional modules are expected to be added and all will be subject to continuous revision.
