Abstract

The main topic of this paper is a hull structure design of an 80 m double-ended ferry, intended for
navigation in the Adriatic Sea. The structural ship elements were dimensioned according to the rules
of the Croatian Ship Register using the Mathcad software. The preliminary drawing of the main
midship frame was made in AutoCAD. Then follows the verification of previously calculated primary
structural elements using beam finite element method model (DNV 3D-Beam software). The obtained
results of main deck model and the racking model meet the strength criteria. Docking stress of the
bottom structure was also checked and meets the strength criteria. Furthermore, the distribution of
global longitudinal stresses in midship section is verified using the finite element method in DNV
GeniE software.
