Gas guidelines


Classification society ClassNK has released its “Guidelines for Liquefied Gas Carrier Structures – Independent Prismatic Tanks” (2nd Edition). The Guidelines specify the technical requirements specifically related to the structural strength assessments of liquefied gas carriers by using direct calculation. By implementing fatigue strength assessment methods that follow the guidelines, it becomes possible to carry out more reasonable fatigue designs for primary members of not only hull structures, but also of independent cargo tank structures and their support structures.The guidelines are available to download at www.classnk.com
