This report showed a case study of a mini-cape size bulk carrier of being retrofitted for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) fuel and the selection of its new fuel tanks to meet the stringent emissions requirement. The vessel was equipped with a dual fuel ready (DFR) engine before the retrofit. Engine manufacturer will supply and replace engine parts for LNG fueled operations with no significant modification of the engine structure required. The detailed engineering design considerations were studied with cost reduction and minimum downtime set as ultimate objectives. Top-down and bottom-up approaches for cost estimation are used in this analysis. The analysis was determined by life cycle cost and management costs. The cost analysis showed the payback period of an LNG fueled ship retrofit is 4.5 years against a 0.5%S compliant fueled vessel. The payback period is considered reasonable and it shows retrofitting vessels for LNG fuel as an attractive option in meeting new regulation for ship-owners. If the shipyard standardizes the tank construction including outfitting, the specified cost may even go lower. A further reduction is also anticipated with repeating orders of similar vessels.

Modular design, Axiomatic design (AD) and Theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ) have been increasingly popularized in concept design of modern mechanical product. Each method has their own advantages and drawbacks. The benefit of modular design is reducing the product design period, and AD has the capability of problem analysis, while TRIZ’s expertise is innovative idea generation. According to the complementarity of these three approaches, an innovative and systematic methodology is proposed to design big complex mechanical system. Firstly, the module partition is executed based on scenario decomposition. Then, the behavior attributes of modules are listed to find the design contradiction, including motion form, spatial constraints, and performance requirements. TRIZ tools are employed to deal with the contradictions between behavior attributes. The decomposition and mapping of functional requirements and design parameters are carried out to construct the structural hierarchy of each module. Then, modules are integrated considering the connections between each other. Finally, the operation steps in application scenario are designed in temporal and spatial dimensions. Design of cutter changing robot for shield tunneling machine is taken as an example to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, the efficiency of Propeller Boss Cap Fins (PBCF) installed at the bulk carrier was estimated under both Propeller Open Water (POW) and self-propulsion conditions. For this estimation, virtual model-basin tests (resistance, POW, and self-propulsion tests) were conducted through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFDs) simulation. In the resistance test, the total resistance and the wake distribution according to ship speed were investigated. In the POW test, changes of thrust, torque coefficient, and open water efficiency on the propeller according to PBCF installation were investigated. Finally, the International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC) 1978 method was used to predict the effect of PBCF installation on self-propulsive coefficient and brake horsepower. For analyzing incompressible viscous flow field, the Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equation with SST k-ω turbulence model was calculated using Star-CCM+ 11.06.010-R8. All simulation results were validated by comparing the results of model tests conducted at the Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO). Consequently, for the self-propulsion test with the PBCF, a 1.5% reduction of brake horsepower was estimated in the simulation and a 0.5% reduction of the brake horsepower was estimated in the experiment.
