The design features of the optimal double-skin bulk carrier

The paper introduces the current situation and existing hidden troubles of bulk carrier,compares the merits of single-skin and double-skin bulk carriers,and analyzes the development tendency of the ship form of bulk carrier.The design features of the optimal double-skin bulk carrier are discussed,such as controlling the structural weight,optimizing the structure to enlarge the capacity,optimizing the form to raise the rapidity,reasonable arrangement for environment-protection and so on.
