Abstract
Economic ship transport in Arctic and Baltic waters requires the vessel to be competitive both in the ice-infested and ice-free season. Thus, the aim of this paper is to present an optimization procedure to identify a production cost and weight optimum hull structure, i.e. stiffened panel scantlings. Furthermore, the current uniform design ice load is utilized as well as a non-uniform load. The latter is identified based on typical measured damages occurring over the lifetime of a vessel. Consequently, the scantlings for the plating and frames will be identified under both types of loading in view of production and repair cost. Additionally, the identified sensitivity of the scantlings to the loading type will contribute to an increase in safety for ships operating in ice-infested waters.
