Diverse requirements

Multi-purpose vessels must fulfil a wide range of very

different requirements. They are complex in design

and need to be highly flexible in their deployment.

They may be required to transport:

■ minor bulks, e.g. forest products or fertilisers

■ non-containerised general cargo, e.g. steel coils

or construction commodities

■ major bulks, e.g. iron ore or coal

■ project cargo originating from the infrastructure,

energy supply and mining sectors, e.g. delivering

facilities to improve port infrastructure in emerging

markets

Further requirements for MPVs may include:

■ strengthening for operation in ice conditions

■ dynamic positioning

■ open top or partial open top operation, dual

load line

■ employment of stability pontoons

■ the ability to navigate in adverse conditions

■ operating in the growing offshore market

■ cranes with a low or very high safe working load

(SWL)

■ position of the deck house

■ semi-submersible vessel design

■ helideck

■ tween hatch cover and main hatch cover as

foldable or pontoon type

Specialised demands

The multiple transportation demands that MPVs

must fulfil lead to highly specialised design and con-

struction issues. MPVs are often the result of unique

designs and complex technical solutions. They are

constructed as one-off vessels or, at most, in small

series. For the design engineers and the shipyards,

this uniqueness poses a serious challenge, as it often

does not allow for solutions based on past experience.

This is where DNV GL’s long-standing experience

and operational know-how come in. As a classifica-

tion society, we have accompanied the design and



CONSTRUCTION


construction of a great number of MPVs, enabling

us to establish an extensive pool of knowledge that

covers all aspects from design approval through con-

struction to inspections during operation. We pro-

vide expert advice on special cargo transportation as

well as support in matters of flag state consultation.

Close collaboration between designers, shipyards

and the DNV GL classification service leads to a cost-

effective construction process for the shipyard and to

high-performing vessels for the shipowner.


UNIQUE MPV SOLUTIONS

Pre-design for shipowners

An exact definition of your transportation require-

ments is of paramount importance to the future

efficiency of your MPV. These requirements should

be identified during the pre-design phase to deter-

mine the specific demands on the ship structure.

One decisive issue that must be addressed at this

stage is the actual extent of abilities which the ves-

sel must fulfil. When this has been established, the

information is incorporated into the planning and

design so that throughout its life cycle the ship will

satisfy the highest technical and safety standards.

Recently, there has been a trend towards pre-design

feasibility studies to investigate issues such as stability

pontoons that enlarge the SWL, or movable grain

bulkheads. In a challenging market situation faced

with a large variety of cargoes, this is the deciding

factor for later operation and cargo handling.

A DNV GL study can be of great help when seeking

the greatest loading flexibility of the vessel. DNV GL’s

market know-how and experience as a leading MPV

classification society are key factors when providing

the kind of independent approval that will convince

potential shippers.

Pre-design for shipyards

DNV GL supports shipyards from the earliest stages

right through to construction and delivery. Our

advanced engineering know-how and tools drive

innovation and minimise costs.

DNV GL acts as advisor to governments, the IMO,

flag states and port states. We are therefore ideally

placed to provide guidance on compliancy with

all current and upcoming regulations, and to make

sure that these requirements are addressed as early

as possible to avoid costly refits later. This ensures a

smooth shipbuilding process all the way down the line.

During the pre-design phase, we work with the yard

and the owner to precisely identify and define which

cargo requirements the completed vessel will need

to fulfil. This is vital information in determining which

materials are used for certain parts of the ship. We

arrange a personal kick-off meeting where the approval

process will be determined and first important issues

regarding the overall project can be addressed.

Significant technical challenges must be taken into ac-

count when planning a newbuilding. These may include:

■ combined gear for port facilities in emerging markets

■ feasibility studies to ensure hatch cover and tween

deck hatch cover operation at any loading condi-

tion as well as crane operation

Design for shipowners

During the design phase, it is equally important that

calculations ensure the greatest possible loading

flexibility for the final vessel. At DNV GL, we draw

on our experience to find solutions that combine

flexibility and efficiency.

Ship design that ensures energy-efficient operations

is a crucial factor to building ships with a true com-

petitive advantage. FutureShip, a DNV GL company,

optimises the hull for energy-efficient operations

and implements new technologies at an early stage

to boost profitability and lessen the environmental

impact of shipping.

DNV GL expertise during the design phase plays an

important role in ensuring that your ships retain a

high long-term value, and frequently DNV GL class

ships have an above-average resale value.

Design for shipyards

Advanced engineering and integrated knowledge

at the design stage eliminate obstacles and lead the

way to finding unique solutions for a wide range of

shipowner requirements and demands.

Our experts take into account global design aspects

such as longitudinal and torsional strength of the

hull as well as local strength and deformation of cargo

hold structures. Careful consideration has to be given

to interactive forces in the design of hatch covers and

hatch ways. An optimised crane and crane foundation

design help to maximise the stowage area for product

cargo and for the size of transportable items.

DNV GL offers a number of state-of-the-art design

and simulation tools to assist shipyards:

■ POSEIDON is a structural design and analysis tool

that facilitates the fast development of hull structures

■ DNV GL ShipModel, a pre-processor for generating

FE models for global strength and vibration analysis,

significantly speeds up modelling processes and

enhances model quality

■ DNV GL ShipLoad is the fastest tool available to

help generate, select and apply loads for global

FE analysis of ship structures at the design stage

■ An integrated calculation of crane in operation

and intersection with the hull structure

■ Block loading calculation

As a market leader in the MPV sector, DNV GL has

engineered many successful innovations. Our experi-

ence delivers concrete benefits that facilitate highly

specific, tailor-made MPV design and that allow for a

streamlined, speedy plan approval process.

The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has

developed a standard for ship recycling (The Hong

Kong Convention). While it may take time for the

Convention to enter into force, many prudent owners

are already taking steps to ensure that ship recycling

is done in a safe and environmentally friendly way in

anticipation of ratification by member states.

DNV GL is offering a variety of class notations that

help shipowners specify certain minimum standards

related to the use and documentation of hazardous

substances onboard during all phases of the life

cycle of a containership. Many owners and yards

are already building the appropriate document

Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM), a key provi-

sion of the Convention. In support of these efforts,

DNV GL has developed the “IHM Green Server”,

specifically designed to assist owners to keep IHM

documentation updated throughout the life cycle of

the ship, providing relevant information at the time

of recycling.

DNV GL offers advisory services that help stakehold-

ers collect information as well as develop plans and
