The characteristics of ship side structure types are as follows
There are two kinds of structure on the side of bulk cargo ship: single layer and double layer. The double side structure can be transverse frame type or longitudinal frame type.
The side structure of oil tanker is divided into single shell and double shell. In the past, oil tankers used single hull structure, but modern new oil tankers use double hull structure.
The sides of the cargo holds of container ships all adopt double shell plate structure. In order to compensate for the weakening of the overall longitudinal strength caused by the large opening of the deck, a side cabin was formed.
