Hull Construction
Transversally stiffened
This structure is now virtually obsolete and may not be used on hulls greater than 120m in length
The hull requires a plate floor every 3.05m and a frame every 1m. Hence there are 3 frames
for every plate floor. The two frames are attached to the floor angle iron transverse.
or the aft framing of the aft pea! tan! or the for"d framing of the for"d collision bul!head the
ma#imum framing pitch is 0.$1m. %lso for the for"d 0.2l of the ship the ma#imum spacing of the frame is
&00mm 'this helps to prevent damage due to slamming(.
)nderneath the engine seating a plate flooris required every frame.
The !eelp plate is made from heavier section of plate and has its ends tapered to allow it to be welded
onto the normal hull plating

Longitudinally framed hull (tanker)
The longitudinal framing is much better able to resist buc!ling when the hull is hogging
