Abstract

In this work, the superstructure of a RoPax ferry has been redesigned using composite materials and the new design has been compared to the existing steel superstructure from a structural perspective. To this end, FE models have been developed and the superstructures have been subjected to loading conditions as prescribed from the regulations. Additionally, the effects that the composite superstructure has on the weight of the ship have been calculated. Results indicate that there is a large potential for retrofitting and building new passenger ships with composite superstructures as long as the design procedure and its acceptance by the regulatory bodies are simplified.
