Task 3.5 Conceptual Design Testing and Assessment, led by HDKSOE, focuses on verifying the insulation performance and structural reliability of the conceptual design for the proposed Cryogenic Containment System (CCS). By leveraging analytical and numerical methods, the aim is to ensure the system meets stringent safety and performance criteria. The task will build upon the underlying philosophy of the International Gas Carrier (IGC) Code, with guidance from participating Classification Societies to establish comprehensive design load conditions.
To achieve this, two key load scenarios will be analyzed as design conditions: the full load voyage condition and the ballast voyage condition.
- In the full load voyage condition, loading factors such as thermal loads, maximum cargo pressure, and hull-girder bending moments will be considered.
- In the ballast voyage condition, the analysis will focus on thermal loads, ballast tank pressure, and hull-girder bending moments.
Discussions with Classification Societies will ensure the adaptation of the IGC Code philosophy to the unique requirements of Liquid Hydrogen (LH2) containment, guaranteeing safety and reliability in the final design.
