FISHING VESSEL TECHNOLOGY- 20th GRADUATE SCHOOL
MODULE 1.- SHIP DESIGN
(i) GENERAL
(1) Scope
We shall speak about fishing vessels with a design length under 65
meters built in accordance with usual practice, with one or two
continuous decks having only small openings.
Normally, the fishing vessels structure does not differ from the one
of cargo vessels with the same size, apart from some details which will
be considered on this paper.
Taking into account the special lines shape of fishing vessels, with
a very reduced, or even without any cylindric body, transversal
stiffeners are currently arranged, except for very special ships as
tunny vessels which have normally longitudinal secondary stiffeners
allowing the support of the tanks.

* The midship region extends over 0,2 L each side of the mid
perpendicular
* The end regions extend over 0,1 L forward to the aft perpendicular
and aft from the fore perpendicular.
Scantlings are determined for the midship region and for the end
regions. Scantlings are to vary gradually between the midship region
and the ends.

The strength deck is the uppermost continuous deck contributing to
the longitudinal strength.
All continuous longitudinal members have to be included into the
calculation of the moment of inertia.
The sectional area of small openings does not need to be deduced if
their total breadth is less than 0,06 (B -Sb)
where:
Sb is the total breadth, in m, of openings.

On small vessels and specially on fishing' vessels, it is not
normally necessary to determine the still water bending moment and the
longitudinal criteria only concerns the minimum section modulus which
calculation can be simplified and instead of a section modulus some
Rules establish an equivalent sectional area of the strength deck.
The sectional area of the strength deck is the amount of sectional
areas of items taking part into the strength against the overall
bending of the ship, and includes
* Deck plating abreast hatchways
* where the deck is framed longitudinally, deck longitudinals, provided
their continuity is ensured.
The sectional area S of the strength deck is calculated in
accordance to the Classification Rules as a function of the vessel-
dimensions and the scantling of the bottom

framing system (longitudinal or transversal) and the member

(2) Primary Stiffeners
They are to support the secondary stiffeners and their ends are
attat:hed to other primary stiffeners and / or to other rigidest parts
or tze hull structure. They can as well be supported on pillars.
Primary stiffeners are to be arranged in such a way they ensure
adecuate continuity of strength. Abrupt changes in height or cross
section are to be avoided.
The scantling of the primary stiffeners can be determined by rule
standard formula or by direct calculations using the corresponding
design loads and the permissible stresses indicated.

(VII) STRUCTURAL PARTS
We give hereafter a short description of the main areas of the
vessel structure.
(1) Bottom Structure
on small vessels, we can find single bottom structure, but for
vessels above 20 meters length it is usual to fit a double bottom.
The height of the double bottom is not to be under 0,1 AL
But for other reasons as the requirements for tank capacity,
accessibility for inspection or building facilities, the double
bottom height is normally larger than the minimum regulation value.
Inner bottom strakes are to be fitted longitudinally. Its thickness
may change from 6 mm in small vessels to 9,5 mm in larger ones.
The center girder is to be continuous and extended over the full
length of the ship.

Where open floors are fitted, the spacing of plate floors is not to
overseed 5 frame spacings.

(b) Case No 2
For the net hauling through the ramp to the deck, it is necessary
to pull up with the fishing winch with the help of a pulley which is
located on the upper part of the fore gantry.
This gantry is fixed upon the bridge structure as shown on the
figure.

(c) Case NO 3
To hoist the bottom of the seine and to allow the fish to fall
through the fishing hatch, it is necessary to use a pulley located on
the aft gantry which is in the same vertical as the fishing hatch.
This gantry is normally fixed upon the casings placed at both sides
of the vessel.

(4) Nozzles
The trawlers are usually equiped with controlable pitch propeller on
a fixed nozzle.
The joining between the nozzle and the hull must be made in such a
way that the plated of junction with the hull are aligned with the
girders of the stern and the diaphragms of the nozzle.
