 Expected Students’ Outcome

 The Topic Learning Outcomes in each module serve as
guide for every midshipman about the topics they
should learn at the end of the lesson.
• Topic 2: Ship Dimension and Forms
 General Arrangement
 The general arrangement of a vessel can be
defined as the allocation of volumes for all the
crucial functions/operations, correctly
synchronized for position and access. The
well-organized operation of a ship depends upon
the proper arrangement of each individual
volume/space and the most efficient
interrelationships among all compartments.
 It is vital that the general arrangement of a
ship be usefully, practically and
cost- effectively developed with respect to key
factors that influence construction and operation
cost, in particular the manpower required to
operate the vessel.
 General Arrangement plan of various ships will

be shown on Appendix E.
 General Cargo Vessels
 General dry-cargo ships with machinery

amidships have not always allocated the
best available spaces and facilities for the
cargo hatches and holds. The propelling
machinery is preferably aft, to keep the best
cargo spaces clear, an arrangement
becoming increasingly popular. Means are
provided to trim the ship with liquids in
ballast tanks.
• General cargo vessels are type of vessels that can transport
different types of cargo all-in-one. As the name suggests, they
are very versatile and used for multi-purposes.
 Tanker Vessels
 Tanker vessels are designed specifically to transport liquids.

There are different types of tanker vessels:
 Oil Tankers - Ships designed for bulk transport of oil or its

product. Basic types of oil tankers are crude tankers and product
tankers.
 Chemical Tankers - Type of tanker designed
for carriage of chemicals in bulk.
 Gas Tankers
• Ships designed to transport LPG, LNG, CNG or
liquefied chemicals in bulk.
• Moss Type LNG Tanker
• Membrane Type LNG
 Combination Carrier
• A general term applied to ships intended for carriage
of both oil and dry cargoes in bulk. The cargoes are
not carried simultaneously, except for oil retained in
slop tanks.
 Ore/Bulk/Oil (OBO) Carrier - A single-deck ship of

double skin construction, with a double bottom,
hopper side tanks and topside tanks fitted below the
upper deck and intended for the carriage of oil or dry
cargoes, including ore, in bulk.
 Ore/Oil Carrier
• A single-deck ship having two longitudinal bulkheads
and a double bottom throughout the cargo region and
intended for carriage of ore cargoes in the center
holds or oil cargoes in the center holds and wing
tanks.

 Container Ship
• A container ship (also called boxship or

spelled containership) is a cargo ship that carries all
of its load in truck-size intermodal containers, in a
technique called containerization. Container ships are
a common means of commercial
intermodal freight transport and now carry most
seagoing non-bulk cargo.
• Container ship capacity is measured in twenty-foot
equivalent units (TEU). Typical loads are a mix of 20-
foot (1-TEU) and 40-foot (2-TEU) ISO-standard
containers, with the latter predominant.

Ro-Ro (Roll on/Roll off) Vessels
 Cargo ships designed to carry wheeled

cargo such as cars, trucks, semi-trailers
and railroad cars that are driven on and
off the ship on their own wheels or using
a platform vehicle, such as self-propelled
modular transporter.
 Passenger Vessels
• Passenger liners for ocean crossings, carrying only

passengers, baggage, and incidental cargo, devote large
volumes in the most comfortable part of the ship to
passenger accommodations, with large additional volumes
for public spaces in deckhouses and superstructures. The
propelling machinery, uptakes, and hatches are placed
clear of the accommodations. Passenger ships for service
on rivers and in protected waters utilize deck and
superstructure volume as passenger spaces for practically
the entire length. Excursion ships for day service extend
the accommodations to overhangs beyond the main hull.
• Merchant ships whose primary function is to carry

passenger on the sea. The several main types are cruise
ships, ferries and ocean liners.
 Offshore Vessels
• Offshore vessels mainly help in oil exploration
and construction jobs at sea. Offshore vessels
are of several types.
