Shell Plating
• The main purpose of shell plating is to provide watertight skin of the
ship. Shell plating which forms the main deck of the ship is called deck
shell plating
• Shell plating is not made of a single plate it is made of smaller
sections of plates welded together.
• Shell plating is the outer-most structure on the hull of a ship. The
main purpose of shell plating is to provide watertight skin of the ship.
Based on the position of Shell Plating most common types of shell are,
• Bottom Shell Plating

Bottom Shell Plating is the shell plating on the bottom part of the
ship. Or we can say that bottom shell plating form the watertight skin of
the bottom of the ship
• Side Shell Plating
Side Shell Plating is the shell plating on the sides of the ship that forms the
watertight skin along the ship side. It is the plate laid in the vertical direction.
• Deck Shell Plating
Shell plating which forms the main deck of the ship is called deck
shell plating.
Framing
• Side Frames
The upper part of the frames welded to the side shell and run vertically is also
known as side frames. For tank construction, the part of the side frame associated
with the tank or hold region is also known as the holding frame, and the part of this
frame above the upper tank boundary, which continues to the main deck level, is
known as the tween frame.
These side frames are mainly composed of bulb plates or L-beams. The
scantlings of these frames depend on the area of disposition and the estimated
extent of transverse loading that may incur.
• Web Frames
They are special types of frames that are heavier in scantlings and generally
have greater depths and thicknesses. They consist of plate web and face flat, the
web being much deeper than conventional frames. They occur after every 4 or 5
normal frames for all practical purposes. Still, they may have a higher occurrence in
high-strength regions like machinery spaces or in the forward and the aft regions to
increase the structural rigidity.
The frames are disposed of along the vessel’s length regularly for all practical
purposes. The distance between two successive frames is known as frame spacing
and is also highly considered for several purposes by the designer. This is at least
600 mm or more for most sea-going cargo ships, depending on the requirement.
• Longitudinal And Transverse Framing
Most ships are classified based on the type of framing: longitudinal and
transverse. In a longitudinal frame, there are more closely spaced longitudinal
members than transverse ones.
They are primarily for longer ships where longitudinal effects like bending or
flexibility are more prominent. The transverse framing system has more closely
spaced frames with broader spacing between longitudinal members. These are for
shorter vessels, where there is more prominence of transverse and hydrostatic
loading as compared to longitudinal.
Bulkheads and Pillars
• Vertical partitions in a ship arranged transversely or fore and aft are
referred to as 'bulkheads’.
• Those bulkheads which are of greatest importance are the main hull
transverse and longitudinal bulkheads dividing the ship into a number
of watertight compartments.
• Other lighter bulkheads, named 'minor bulkheads', which act as
screens further subdividing compartments into small units of
accommodation or stores, are of little structural importance.
• Vertical member inside a ship that connects the deck to the ship's
bottom, where it is installed between two tweendecks, especially
around hatches.
• They are quite bulky and complicate cargo handling inside holds.
Plating: The plating of a hull is the series of plates that form the
watertight shell of the hull.
• The prime function of the pillars is to carry the load of the decks and
weights upon the decks vertically down to the ship's bottom structure
where these loads are supported by the upward buoyant forces.
• A secondary function of pillars is to tie together the structure in a
vertical direction
