A ship, Compared with common steel structures on land, must be placed in extremely severe corrosive environments. Apart from the cases caused by disaster at sea, most of damages of the hull structure members are those caused by corrosion and waste. These are the major factors for damages occurring to the structural members of ship during operation.
Therefore, it is necessary that the persons concerned should pay full attention to protect against corrosion and waste in order to prevent hull damages and to service more efficiently and safely. In addition, precautionary steps to help prevent accidents include training with crews, guidances, supervisors, and system improvements, and repairing any structural vulnerability of the ship herself. If the repairing of structural vulnerability is carried out, the above mentioned accidents are sure to be prevented. For the sake of this situation, a full survey in advance and the establishment for an efficient plan are more important than any others.
Among all sorts of examples investigated and reported as damage cases during the process of achieving the Classification Society about ships by periodical surveys on servicing, matters about moreenhanced examinations related to the corrosion and waste in the hull structure members of solid cargo bulk carriers must be surveyed and analyzed intensively.
By presenting on this basis, the efficient method count plan for the construction of new ships to stabilize the repair and up-keep of a fleet, this thesis is written with the motive of contributing to competitiveness of a bulk carrier fleet and decreasing of the economic loss of ships upon servicing.
