    Executive Summary

    Design of a Geophysical and Hydrographic Survey Vessel for the Hecate StraitBy, E. Berzins, E. Johnston, R. Thery, and S. Zealand

    Project Definition

    In recent years there has been increased interest in the possibility of oil and gas

    production off the shores of British Columbia. In light of this interest, the 23 rd

    International Conference on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering (OMAE) will

    be held in Vancouver, in June 2004. Therefore it is intended that the design an offshore

    seismic exploration vessel be carried out. The vessel will operate in the Hecate Strait,

    between the Queen Charlotte Islands and the North Coast of British Columbia, to assist in

    the exploration of oil and gas reserves, which are predicted to exist in the coastal waters

    of British Columbia.

    General Arrangement

    The principal dimensions of the survey ship were based on the results of a parametric

    study of existing offshore research vessels. A conventional monohull form was chosen

    for the design, as it provided ample volumes to carry the required amounts of fresh water

    and fuel. The vessel, Haida Explorer, is 60 meters long, with a 17-meter beam. The

    unusually large beam was selected to accommodate the five tow winches, located at the

    stern. The vessel is capable of carrying 236.2 cubic meters of fresh water and 753.5 cubic

    meters of fuel. With these capacities, the vessel is capable of remaining at sea for up to

    40 days without re-supply.

    Weight, Buoyancy, and Stability

    The weight estimate indicates that the vessel will displace approximately 986.3 metric

    tonnes when all tanks are empty and 1845.5 metric tonnes with all tanks full. The

    corresponding drafts are 2.94 meters and 4.15 meters, respectively. The stability of the

    vessel was analysed using the General Hydrostatics (GHS) software package. The results

    of the stability analysis indicate that the vessel has sufficient stability in all loading and

    towing conditions with respect to the American Bureau of Shipping regulations.

    Local and Global Loading

    An Excel spreadsheet was used to analyse the environmental loads exerted on the vessel.

    The environmental forces included in the analysis are wind, wave and current forces.

    The forces were determined for both bow and beam seas and are 37.1 kN and 201.0 kN,

    respectively. Forces for other directions can be estimated by vector addition of the bow

    and beam sea forces.

    Strength and Structural Design

    The ABS regulations dictate the required section modulus of various structural members

    within the vessel, which are dependent on the principal dimensions of the ship and the

    frame spacing. The section modulus calculations were completed using the MathCAD

    software and are presented the appendices. The dimensions of each structural member

    type were determined using an Excel spreadsheet.

    Hydrodynamics of Motions and Loading

    The natural periods of the vessel in roll, pitch, and heave were also determined using an

    Excel spreadsheet. The resulting natural periods are 3.9s, 4.3s, and 3.1s, for roll, pitch,

    and heave motions, respectively. These are all well below the natural significant wave

    period of 13s for the Hecate Strait region, which indicates that the vessel will perform

    well in this body of water.

    Wind and Current Loading

    The wind and current loads, in bow and beam seas, were determined for extreme high

    and low draft conditions of 5.5m and 3.75m, respectively. The forces were governed by

    the projected areas of the above water and below water regions of the ship in both draft

    cases. As expected, the beam seas conditions experience higher wind and current loads.

    It is therefore preferable to align the ship and towlines with the wind and current to

    improve the quality of the surveys.

    Propulsion

    Using the NavCAD resistance and propulsion analysis software, it was determined that

    the vessel has to overcome approximately 150 kN of resistance at 14 knots design speed.

    The Caterpillar 3512 engines require a gear ratio of 1:5.5 to decrease the propeller speed

    to 330 rpm. Two 1.75 m diameter B-series propellers can sufficiently deliver the

    required thrust power to propel the vessel at the design speed.

    Cost

    The cost estimate was conducted using an Excel spreadsheet to tally up the costs of each

    piece of equipment onboard, including the hull steel and labour to fabricate and install

    each component. The costs were estimated using the quotation library provided by

    Robert Allan Limited, a local naval architecture office. The final build cost of the ship is

    estimated at $15 million USD. This cost does not include taxes, exchange rates, or

    delivery costs.

    Regulatory Compliance

    The vessel has been design to comply with the American Bureau of Shippings Rules for

    Classification and Building of Steel Vessels Under 90 Meters in Length (2001), which

    governs various aspects of the design, from the structures to stability. Excerpts from the

    ABS rules which were directly used in the design of this vessel are provided in the

    appendices. For complete rules, visit the ABS website, http://www.eagle.org/.

    Abstract

    This final report discusses the completed work for the 2004 International StudentOffshore Design Competition. The intent of this report is to provide the reader with asummary the design methodology that has been employed by the UBC ISODC team.The chosen topic is a 60-meter geophysical and hydrographic survey vessel, which isintended to carry out oil exploration in the Hecate Strait.

    Research on existing vessels was carried out by searching online sources to compile adatabase, which was used to conduct a parametric study. The parametric study revealedseveral trends that assisted the UBC ISODC team to begin design of the survey ship.From the initial results of the parametric study, a hullform was developed using AutoshipPro 8.2.0. Using this hullform, a linesplan, general arrangement, and tank plan werecreated using AutoCAD 2002.

    An analysis of the natural frequencies of roll, pitch and heave were conducted to evaluatethe performance of the vessel in the Hecate Strait environment. NavCAD was used toestimate the total resistance of the hull and to determine the total break horsepower required to steam at 14 knots. From these results, Caterpillar 3512 engines were selected.

    The internal stiffening structures of the vessel were design to meet the regulations setforth by the American Bureau of Shipping: Rules for Building and Classing Steel VesselsUnder 90 Meters in Length, 2001. All supporting drawings and calculations for all theanalyses are provided in the appendices.

    The weights of each component onboard were added to the steel weight estimate to arrive

    at the overall weight estimate of the vessel. Using this weight estimate and the hullform,a computer analysis of the stability was conducted using the General Hydrostaticssoftware package. The results of the analysis are present in the appendix.

    The local and global loads, including wind, wave, and current loads, exerted on the vesselwere analysed using Excel spreadsheets. The forces were determined for both bow and

    beam seas and are 37.1 kN and 201.0 kN, respectively. Detailed calculations are provided in the report.

    The cost estimate was conducted using an Excel spreadsheet to sum the costs of eachcomponent onboard. The costs were estimated using the quotation library provided by

    Robert Allan Limited. The final build cost of the ship is estimated at $15 million USD.

    1.0 Introduction

    The purpose of this project is to design a hydrographic survey vessel for the Hecate Strait of British Columbia. The vessel will survey the ocean floor for evidence of oil reserves below theHecate Strait. The vessel design meets the American Bureau of Shipping Rules for Building andClassing Steel Vessels Under 90 Meters in Length 2001.

    This preliminary report is intended to discuss the stages of the design work completed thus far.To date, the general arrangement and overall hull design, strength and structural design,resistance and propulsion, and hydrodynamics of motions and loading analyses have beencompleted.

    The Hecate Strait is bounded on the North by Dixon Entrance, on the South by Queen CharlotteSound, On the West by the Queen Charlotte Islands, and on the East by the coast of mainlandBritish Columbia. The ocean depth ranges between 200 and 400 meters, and the width of the

    Hecate Straight varies from 60 to 120 km.

    Figure 1. Map of Hecate Strait, BC

    The majority of the oil reserves off the Coast of British Columbia are speculated to lie in theHecate Strait. There has been a provincial moratorium on the offshore exploration and

    production of oil in British Columbia since 1981. However, there has been recent debate on the possibility of lifting the moratorium.

    Data collected over the past 10 years from environmental buoys in the Hecate Strait indicate thatthe significant wave height in the northern portion can reach 9 meters, while significant waveheights in the southern region can exceed 10 meters. The wave period for the maximumsignificant wave height in both regions is approximately 13 seconds. Wind speeds in the northand south regions can reach up to 24 and 21 m/s (46.7 and 40.8 kts), respectively, with gusts

    exceeding 30 m/s (58.3 kts).

    2.0 Competency Areas

    The design of the hydrographic survey vessel involved various aspects of the design must beresearched, analyzed, and detailed. The design in this project focuses on eight specific areas:

    General arrangement and overall hull design Weight, buoyancy, and stability Local and global loading Strength and structural design Cost Hydrodynamics of motions and loading Wind and current loading Resistance and propulsion

    The following sections describe the methods and results of each of the completed competencies.

    2.1 General Arrangement and Overall Hull/System Design

    2.1.1 Parametric Study

    To begin design of the hydrographic survey vessel, it was necessary to determine thecharacteristics of similar vessels. Data was collected for various vessel properties, such aslength, beam, draft, displacement, engine power, and speed. Much of this information wascollected from searching online sources. A summary of the database is provided in Table 2. A

    more complete version of the database, along with full results from the parametric study, can befound in Appendix A: Vessel Database and Parametric Study Results.

    Vessels under 25 meters or over 100 meters in length were neglected from the database. Vesselsunder 25 meters are considered too small to have significant stability to function as a surveyvessel, whereas, vessels over 100 meters tended to skew the data too heavily to the upper end.

    The cubic number of each vessel was calculated by multiplying together the three principledimensions, length, beam, and draft. Each of the vessel characteristics was individually plottedagainst the cubic number. Linear relationships were fitted to each plot using the Least SquaresMethod. It was found that the average vessel length in the database was 60 meters. Using this

    length as a reference, the cubic number was determined to be approximately 2700 m3

    . Byinterpolating the other relationships using the estimated cubic number, a table of approximatevessel characteristics was developed and is summarized in Table 3. Using these values, it

    became possible to begin the first iteration of the design spiral, beginning with hullformdevelopment.

    2.1.2 Overall Hull Design

    The overall hull design had the following main requirements: a length of 60 m, a large beam, anarrow bottom and a draft of between 4 and 5 m. The length of 60 m was chosen based on the

    parametric study as discussed earlier. The large beam requirement was based on the amount aftdeck space needed for the winch and streamer arrangement. A beam of 17 m was chosen to

    provide spacing for 6 to 8 winches in a monowing-towing set-up. The narrow bottom is a featurethat will reduce ship sway, allowing the vessel to maintain a strait course during surveys. The

    draft requirement was based on the majority of vessels in the parametric study, which had draftsof 4 to 5 m. The hull draft was subject to change throughout the hullform design based on weightcharacteristics.

    The hullform was developed in Autoship Pro 8.2.0, to view the final hullform see DWG: M443-04-100, which is the linesplan. The hullform was exported from Autoship as a DXF file intoAutocad 2002, where the linesplan, tank plan, and general arrangements were drawn. Autoshipalso provided complete hydrostatics for vessel at various displacements and curvature analysis.

    The hullform was drawn by developing and extruding several curves. The original curve was a

    plan view of the prospective main deck shown in Figure 2. In the plan view, it extended 8.5 mfrom the centreline to represent the 17 m beam requirement. It was 60 m in length and attachedto the centreline at the bow and stern. The second curve was the keel curve also shown in Figure

    2, which ran along the centreline 6 m below the deck curve. This curve represented the bottom profile of the hull. The deck curve was extruded and attached to the keel curve creating the bottom surface of the hull.

    Figure 2. Hull Curves

    The bow, stern, and midship profiles were made by adjusting the control points, which arerepresented in Figure 3 by mesh line intersections. Extruding the same deck curve upwardcreated the above deck section of the hull. The bow section was extruded upward by 5 mwhereas the stern only 1 m. The bow and forward section of the hull are higher because an extra

    bow deck was needed. The stern deck was kept low to keep centre of gravity low because themajority of the heavy equipment and tow apparatus would be located on the stern deck.

    Figure 3. Hull Surfaces

    After the hullform was completed a hydrostatics analysis was carried out to determine thewaterline and draft based on the empty and full vessel displacements of 1500 tonnes and 1900tonnes. Complete hydrostatics for both displacements is in the appendix. The drafts at 1500 and1900 tonne displacements are 3.96 m and 4.45 m.

    All the surfaces were analyzed with Gaussian, Mean, and Absolute Curvature functions inAutoship. These functions indicate the amount of curvature in a surface and whether the surfaceis developable. The curvature at the stern and bow were much higher than with the midship,however they are below the non-developable limit for surface construction methods. Also thelower the curvature usually the lower the hull construction costs. Figure 4 is the side view of thehullform surface.

    Figure 4. Hull Surface (Shaded)

    A bulbous bow was not used in the hullform design because for the majority of operation, thevessel would travel at slow survey speeds and a bulbous bow would only increase resistance.Many of the vessels in the parametric study had bulbous bows for the long travel betweensurveys. However, with this vessel travel distance to its survey area is minimal because it can

    port in Prince Rupert, which is at the northeast section of the Hecate Strait. The bow is quitenarrow to reduce bow wave resistance and increase slenderness.

    2.1.3 General Arrangement

    The general arrangement features four different levels with an aft and forward deck. The entirefloor and deck layouts are shown in the general arrangement drawings DWG: M443-04-106. Themain requirements for the deck layouts were a helicopter pad for safety and supply issues andsufficient deck space for a monowing towing apparatus.

    The monowing towing apparatus (Figure 5) was chosen based on its lower tow drag forces than

    with the conventional towing arrangement (Figure 6). This can go a long way towards reducedfuel consumption during surveys and lower operational costs. The monowing set-up ideally uses between six and eight streamers with monowing diverters that keep the streamers separate and parallel during the survey. This required space for six to eight winches on the aft deck.

    The vessel features a helipad on the forecastle deck, forward of the superstructure. This providesa landing pad for a small to medium sized helicopter if the need arises to airlift in extra suppliesor to evacuate the crew. The accommodation space is divided into five decks. The lower threedecks provide living space for the crew, including galley, mess, and games room. Deck four isthe officers living quarters, which also contains the sauna that is available for the crews use.

    Deck five, the uppermost deck, contains the masters quarters and the bridge. The bridge hasexcellent forward viewing capabilities. The science laboratory is located on deck two, which iseasily accessible from the aft deck space.

    Two 14-meter, 25 tonne SWL cranes are located on the aft portion of the deck to assist in theloading and offloading of stores, cargo and additional towing cable spools. Five tow winches arestaggered on the stern. Each winch is capable of spooling up to 2500 meters of 35-mm towlinefor towing the various scientific instruments required by geophysical survey missions. TwoCaterpillar 3512 engines, located in the engine room, are capable of outputting 1750BHP, each,at 1800rpm. Two generator sets (Caterpillar 3408C) provide ample electric power to run thevarious onboard systems.

    Tank Plan

    The tank plan drawing (DWG: M443-04-102) indicates the tank arrangements within the hull of the vessel. The ballast tanks are located at the fore and aft extremes of the vessel to allow for trimming and heeling compensation. The fresh water tanks are all located in the forward end of

    the ship, near the crew accommodations. The fuel tanks are all located in the mid to aft sectionsof the vessel. Cofferdams are located on the boundary between the fresh water and fuel tanks, asrequired by ABS regulations. Table 4 provides a summary of the total capacities of each of thetank types. The survey ship will need to remain out at sea for extended periods of time, upwardsof 40 days per mission, therefore the fresh water and fuel tanks are sized much larger than other ships of similar size.

    2.2 Weight, Buoyancy, and Stability

    2.2.1 Weight Estimate

    The weight estimate was conducted in two phases. First the hull steel weight was determined bycalculating the center of gravity and mass of each structural member and plate in the hull on aframe-by-frame basis. Detailed calculations for the steel weight estimate are available inAppendix B.4.1 Steel weight. The results are provided in Table 5.

    From the steel weight estimate, it was then possible to calculate the overall weight of the vessel by adding the masses of the various components at their respective centers of gravity. Table 6shows a summary of the weight estimate calculation. More detailed calculations of the weightestimate are provided in Appendix B.4.2 Weight Estimate.

    2.2.2 Buoyancy and Stability

    The Haida Explorer has been designed to the 2001 ABS Rules for Classification and Building of Steel Vessels under 90m in Length, Part 5, Chapter 8, Appendix 1. In order to test the stabilityof the survey vessel, a program called General Hydrostatics (GHS) was used to simulate variousoperating conditions and to ensure the vessel passed ABS intact stability requirements.

  • 7/27/2019 Design of a Geophysical Vessels

    22/240

    12

    Stability tests were preformed under three operating conditions: full load departure condition,intermediate load condition, and arrival condition. Towing operations in these three conditionswere also analyzed to ensure adequate vessel stability in most conditions.

    Full load departure condition simulates the vessel being fully loaded about to embark on a

    voyage. All tanks containing fresh water and fuel oil are completely full in this condition. The black, grey and oily water tanks, as well as dirty oil tanks are 10% full, as it is difficult to fullyempty these tanks. All ballast tanks are empty as well due to the large amount of fuel and freshwater on board.

    The intermediate load condition simulates an operating condition of the vessel being at sea after a number of days. All tanks are 50% full, including ballast tanks. This allows sea water in the

    ballast tanks to account for the already consumed fuel and water and keep the ship at areasonably constant draft.

    The arrival condition allows the stability to be tested when the vessel is returning from a voyage.

    In this case, all fuel oil and fresh water tanks are 10% full, while the ballast and waste tanks full.As the Haida Explorer is a geophysical survey vessel, towing capability is an importantconsideration. Towing of up to six appendages under many loading conditions is possible for this vessel, and the ship must also meet ABS stability requirements while towing whatever equipment is required for a particular survey.

    The ABS requirements are as follows:1. The area below the righting lever curve (GZ curve) must be at least 0.055m-radians

    between 0 and 30 degrees of heel.2. The area below the righting lever curve must be at least 0.0900m-radians between 0 and

    40 degrees of heel.3. The area below the righting lever curve must be at least 0.0300m-radians between 30 and

    40 degrees of heel.4. The righting arm must be at least 0.200m at 30 degrees of heel.5. The maximum righting arm must occur at and angle of at least 25 degrees of heel.6. The initial metacentric height (GM) of the vessel must be at least 0.15m.

    These rules have been created to ensure adequate stability of vessels under 90m.

    Appendix E: GHS Input/Output shows the results of the GHS run files, as well as the ABSstability criteria and test results. Under all operating conditions, the Haida Explorer passes allthe stability criteria. The GHS tests indicate results that are over an order of magnitude higher than the minimum ABS requirements in terms of areas under curves and righting arms. Thisindicates the ship is very stable in all operating conditions, especially when noting the smallestGM of the vessel to be 5.74m. This stability is likely due to the large freeboard of the vessel, aswell as a reasonably wide beam and a low centre of gravity.

    23/240

    13

    With a righting arm that remains positive to beyond 90 degrees even in the arrival condition, thevessel remains positively stable at the most uncomfortable of heeling angles. This indicates theHaida Explorer will be a suitable ship to handle the seas in the Hecate Straight.

    It must be noted that the loading due to winches, cranes, engines and other machinery are all

    included in the lightship weight of the vessel. The longitudinal, transverse and vertical centres of gravity (LCG, TCG and VCG respectively) of each piece of equipment is incorporated into theLCG, TCG and VCG of the entire lightship vessel. This prevents the need for applying multiplemachinery loads as well as tank loads in GHS.

    2.3 Local and Global Loading

    The global loading is a combination of wind, current, and wave forces on the vessel. The amountof loading is dependent on the weather conditions, which can vary significantly. The wind,

    current, and wave forces were analyzed separately and then later combined to determine theglobal loading situations on the vessel.

    Table 7 lists the wind, current and wave loads on the vessels for bow and beam seas in theHecate Strait. Significant wind, current, and wave heights were used in the calculations, whichwere a wind speed of 14 m/s or 27.2 knots, an ocean current of 0.65 m/s or 1.25 knots, and awave height of 5.0 m.

    The values in Table 7 were obtained as follows:The wind and current loading parameters are described in more detail in the wind and currentloading section. Below are the basic equations for the global loading analysis.

    Where: D wind = wind drag forceair = air density = 1.19 kg/m 3 V = wind speedA = projected area above the waterline affected by windCd = drag coefficient

    Determining the wave drift force on the vessel varies from the procedures for finding wind andcurrent force. The main difficulty in determining the wave drift force is finding the driftcoefficient C drift

    Cdrift = {S(0)[D wavedrift (0)/(0.5 ga2]}d0 Where: C drift = wave drift coefficient

    Table 8 shows the combined global loading on the vessel for the two sea states. This representsthe global loading on the vessel for the various environmental effects. The environmental effects

    analyzed were the significant weather conditions not the 100 year storm conditions because thesignificant weather conditions are much more likely. Table 8 shows that there is much higher forces on the vessel for beam seas as opposed to bow seas. The quartering seas can also bedetermined and should have forces between the beam and bow forces. Ideal survey directionswould be at bow seas because there is no wave drift occurring and the wind and current force aremuch lower than with beam seas. This makes keeping a straight course during surveys mucheasier and efficient, less energy is needed via bow thrusters to keep a straight course. Duringsurveys it is very important that the vessel maintains its course and avoids any swaying.

    2.4 Strength and Structural Design

    The design of the ship structures is highly regulated by the various international classificationsocieties. In order for a ship to be approved for construction, it must meet the standards of one

    of the classification societies. This vessel has been designed to meet the rules and regulations setforth by the American Bureau of Shipping: Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels Under 90 Meters in Length 2001. The sections used for the design of the internal ship structures are

    provided in Appendix G: ABS Rules. A complete version of the rules can be downloaded fromthe ABS website.

    The ABS rules determine the minimum allowable thickness and depth of deck and shell plating,and center and side girders. The plating thickness is highly dependent on its location. Table 9shows the minimum plate thickness for different locations on the vessel and the dimensions of the center and side girders, detailed calculations can be found in Appendix B: Calculations.

    For other internal structures, the ABS rules dictate the minimum required section modulus, basedon a number of parameters, including, vessel length, beam and frame spacing. It is the duty of the naval architect to select suitable structures to fulfill the section modulus requirements. Theframe spacing used in determining the section modulus requirements was 600mm. Table 10

    provides the minimum required section modulus of various ship structures, detailed calculationscan be found in Appendix B: Calculations.

    Where a large section modulus is required for structures, it is often that a structural member will be built up using several pieces of plate to create webs and flanges. Figure 8 shows a typicalarrangement of a built up section. The reference axis is an arbitrary axis used to determine theneutral axis, and therefore the section modulus, of the member, including the associated plating.Through several iterations, dimensions for the web and flange of each structural member wasdetermined such that the given section modulus exceeded the ABS requirement. Table 10summarizes the resulting members, see Appendix B: Calculations for full section moduluscalculations.

    2.5 Hydrodynamics of Motions and Loading

    2.5.1 Natural Periods of Vessel

    The natural periods of roll, pitch, and heave are shown in Table 11. These values were obtained based on hullform hydrostatics and Simpsons approximations for the mass moments of inertia inthe longitudinal and transverse cases.

    Table 11. Summary of Natural Periods of the Vessel

    Roll:

    The added mass coefficient remains fairly constant for rolling conditions at a = 0.2, which wasassumed for these calculations. The added mass term is applied to represent the fluid around thehull, which has to be accelerated at rates similar to the hull acceleration. It can be thought of asadding the mass of the surrounding fluid to displacement mass.

    Hydrostatics: GM t = 6.43 m m = 1899.6 tonnes

    Simpsons Approximation : I xx = 37707(103

    ) kg/m2

    = m K xx2

    K xx2 = 19.85 m 2

    2 = gGM t/K xx2(1 + a ) = 9.81(6.43)/[19.85(1 + 0.2)] = 2.65

    T = 2/ = 2/1.627 = 3.861 seconds

    Pitch:

    The added mass in pitching conditions remains fairly constant at a = 0.5.

    Hydrostatics: GM l = 71.64 m m = 1899.6 tonnes

    Simpsons Approximation : I yy = 420115(10 3) kg/m 2 = m K yy2 K yy2 = 221.16 m 2

    2 = gGM l/K yy2(1 + a ) = 9.81(71.64)/[221.16(1 + 0.5)] = 2.12

    T = 2/ = 2/1.456 = 4.317 seconds

    21

    Heave:

    The added mass for heave varies significantly according to the hull shape. For this hull a heavecoefficient of a = 1.76 was obtained. The calculation for this coefficient is shown in the

    appendix.

    Hydrostatics: A wp = 788.51 m 2 V = 1899.6 m 3

    z2 = gA wp/V(1 + a) = 9.81(788.51)/1899.6(2.76) = 4.072

    Tz = 2/z = 2/2.018 = 3.114 seconds

    2.5.2 Pitch, Roll and Heave Motions

    The maximum pitch, roll, and heave motions of the vessel in the Hecate Strait were determinedfor the significant wave heights. The pitch and roll motions were determined for a worst-casescenario by analyzing the pitch in bow seas ( = 180 degrees) and the roll in beam seas ( = 90degrees). The ship motions were all determined based on the Hecate Strait wave buoy data,which was used to determine the encountering wave spectrums as shown in Figure 10.

    The encountering spectrums are derived from the Hecate Strait wave spectrum shown in Figure11. The Hecate Strait wave spectrum is dependent of the wave frequency ( w) whereas theencountering spectrums are dependent on the vessel encountering wave frequency ( e) with avessel speed (V) of 7.2 m/s or 14 knots. The frequencies are altered with the following formula:

    e = w(1-w Vcos/g)

    Response Amplitude Operators (RAOs) were determined from the ship and Hecate Strait data,calculations and the values for determining the RAOs are in the appendix. RAOs are the squareof the pitch, roll, or heave motion divided by the significant wave height.

    RAO(roll) = ( /)2 RAO(pitch) = ( /)2 RAO(heave) = (z/ )2

    where: = roll angle = pitch angle z = heave motion = significant wave height

    The RAOs were used to determine the response spectrum for the vessel in the Hecate Strait. Thiswas done by multiplying the RAO by S in Figure 10 and Figure 11 as in the following formula:

    S(e) = RAO(S (e))

    Figure 15, Figure 16, and Figure 17 show the response spectrums for rolling and pitching of thevessel. The maximum roll and pitch motions are found finding the area under each plot and usingthe following equation:

    Pitch or Roll = 2.00(area)1/2

    For pitch and roll the area has units in degrees 2 and for heave the units are m 2.

    2.6 Wind and Current Loading

    The wind and current loading on the vessel are determined from the highest known wind andcurrent forces in the Hecate Strait to approximate the 100 year storm condition. These conditions

    consisted of a wind speed of 31.1 knots or 16 m/s and an ocean current of 1.5 knots or 0.772 m/s.The vessel was analyzed at the loaded and unloaded drafts and at bow and beam seas. The windand current loading are represented by drag forces on the vessel as shown in Table 13 below.

    The drag forces from wind and ocean currents are determined from the following equation.

    D = V2ACd

    Where: D = wind or current drag force = fluid density [(1.19 kg/m 3 for air) (1027.5 kg/m 3 for salt water)]V = wind speed or ocean current speedA = projected area of vessel affected by wind or currentCd = drag coefficient

    27

    The values for the projected areas and drag coefficients are also listed in Table 13. The projectedareas were derived the AutoCad General Arrangements and drawing M443-04-107 in AppendixF: Drawings shows each of the vessels projected areas for beam and bow seas. The dragcoefficients are approximations based 3-dimensional object drag coefficients. For instance, asshown in M443-04-107, much of the beam seas wind loading is against vertical sections, which

    can be modeled as flat plates, which have a C d of 2.0. The bow and front surface of the shipresembles more of a half cylinder, which has a C d of 1.2. The drag coefficient values could bedetermined with higher accuracy by model testing a scaled vessel with wind and current loads.

    Table 13 only shows the wind and current loading for the 100 year storm condition, however, thelower wind and current loading can be determined for various situation by simply inputting thevarious wind and ocean current speeds.

    2.7 Propulsion and Station Keeping

    There are numerous influences on the overall resistance of a hull which all must be taken intoconsideration when performing a simulation.

    Using NavCAD allows most resistance-influencing factors to be input for resistance and propulsion predictions. Inputs are divided into sections pertaining to different parts of the hulland are as follows: environment, hull, appendages, propulsion, miscellaneous, and operatingspeed.

    The environment section incorporates factors such as windage, channel influences and wavemotions. As the superstructure of the vessel is still under modification, accounting for the forceof the wind on an undetermined area would significantly alter the NavCAD outputs. As a result,special wind conditions have not been taken into consideration. The channel input was alsoneglected, as the vessel would very seldom require passage through a channel. The wave

    motions used are standard Sea State two wave height and periods. Most vessels analyzed for propulsion and resistance are tested in this state, since performance in higher sea states focusesmore on the survivability of the vessel.

    Considerations for the hull include dimensions, as well as wetted surface area, maximum sectionarea, and hull type and general shape. Whether the transom of a ship is submerged plays animportant factor in ship resistance. When the vessel is in its lightship condition, the transom iscompletely out of the water. However, as the ship becomes fully loaded and the draft increasesto nearly six meters, the dragging transom causes reasonable resistance as flow around the stern

    becomes quickly separated.

    Apart from just a hull form, other underwater appendages cause resistance as well. With four rudders to increase steering performance, resistance must also increase as well. However, the benefits of superior handling far outweigh the resistance caused by additional rudders.Stabilizers must also be taken into account, as well as exposed propeller shafts, struts and

    brackets.

    Equipped with twin Caterpillar 3512 diesel engines running at 1800rpm through a gearbox with agear ratio of 5.5:1, the two propellers will spin at nearly 330rpm. However, efficiencies of bothgears and shafts must be taken in account, which slightly reduce the performance of propulsionsystem. Two standard, five-blade B-series fixed-pitch propellers, 1.75m in diameter were chosento propel this vessel, as other survey ships of similar size are equipped with propellers of this

    kind.

    Miscellaneous other influences include numerous margin factors, as well as equipment towed bythe vessel. Due to the wide variety and size of potential towed vessels and equipment, thesignificant differences in their respective resistances causes input in this category to skew theresults. It is also the resistance and propulsion required by the survey vessel which is beinginvestigated, as opposed to the equipment it can tow behind it.

    The vessel was desired to run at a speed of 14 knots with both engines ideally providing 1300kWeach. Figure 18 in Appendix D: NavCAD Input/Output indicates the required brake power per

    propeller shaft versus ship velocity. Examination of this graph indicates 900kW are required per propeller shaft in order to reach this speed at lightship displacement in Sea State two. Running atfull power, the ship can reach a speed of 15 knots. Shaft power is only slightly lower than the

    brake power required, as the gearbox and shaft efficiencies are 98% each.

    Since low-speed manoeuvres are critical as well for a survey vessel in order to facilitate towing procedures, it can be noted that the ship can slowly manoeuvre with minimal amounts of power per shaft, or can comfortably run at low speeds with only one engine.

    The propellers were found to be 60% efficient, which is standard for such a propeller type.Examining the % cavitation data, minimum cavitation occurs within the 12 to 14 knot speedrange. This is ideal, as this is the cruising speed of the vessel and as a result the propellers willhave a longer life span while running in this range.

    The resistance values for the hull form indicate a total drag force of 150 kN, includingappendages and margin factors. This result is reasonable and compares favourably with databaseresistance values of similar sized ships. This is crucial, as additional power is not required inorder to attain the design cruising speed.

    2.8 Cost Estimate

    The cost estimate of the Haida Explorer is provided in Table 14. The cost of each major component was estimated with reference to the quotation library provided by a local design

    office. Smaller items are accounted for in the miscellaneous items of each subsection. A 15%margin was added to the cost estimate to account for inflation, since quotes given in thequotation library have become dated. A further 2% has been added as a contingency fund tocover the cost of late materials and equipment. It was found that the cost of the vessel will beapproximately $15 million.

    3.0 Summary and Conclusions

    In this report, the design methodology for the design of a geophysical and hydrographic surveyvessel, to operate in the Hecate Strait, has been examined. A database of 26 similar survey

    vessels was created. Several linear relationships between cubic number (length x beam x draft)and various vessel characteristics were developed to estimate the dimensions and other propertiesof the proposed survey vessel. From the parametric study, a vessel length of 60 meters waschosen because this length provides ample deck area for the multiple winches that are requiredfor survey-type missions.

    Using the results from the parametric study, a hullform was developed in Autoship Pro 8.2.0.This hullform served as the basis for the design work to follow. A linesplan, generalarrangement, and tank plan were developed from the original hullform. Design drawings areavailable in the appendices. Analyses of the natural frequencies of roll, pitch, and heave motionswere completed to examine the performance of the vessel in the waters of the Hecate Strait.

    Further analysis is required to quantify the effect of waves on the ship motions.

    NavCAD was employed to evaluate the total resistance of the vessel at various operating speeds.From these results it was determined that approximately 900kW break power per shaft isnecessary to steam at 14 knots. 1.75 meter B-propellers at 330 rpm are able to deliver therequired power. Caterpillar 3512 engines have been selected to generate the necessary power.

    The internal ship structures have been designed to meet the American Bureau of Shipping: Rulesfor Building and Classing Steel Vessels Under 90 Meters in Length, 2001 regulations. DWG443-04-104 and DWG 443-04-105 illustrate the typical stiffening structures in plan view,elevation view and section view. Calculations for determining the dimensions of the stiffening

    structures are provided in Appendix B: Calculations.

    Using the weight estimate and the hullform, the stability was analysed using the GHS software package. The results of the analysis are present in the appendix. It was found that the vesselgreatly exceeds all ABS requirements for intact stability and towing stability for all operatingconditions.

    The local and global loads, including wind, wave, and current loads, exerted on the vessel wereanalysed using Excel spreadsheets. The forces were determined for both bow and beam seas andare 37.1 kN and 201.0 kN, respectively. The cost estimate was conducted using an Excelspreadsheet to sum the costs of each component onboard. The costs were estimated using the

    quotation library provided by Robert Allan Limited. The final build cost of the ship is estimatedat $15 million USD.
