ANALYSIS OF HULL STRUCTURE WEAR DURING VARIOUS PERIODS OF OPERATION OF DRY CARGO SHIPS
The object of work is the metal hull structures of dry cargo ships. The purpose of the work is to analyze the technical condition of the hull structures of dry cargo ships based on a data-base of measurements of residual thicknesses and defects in order to further predict the technical condition of the hull of ships. As a result of the work, the necessary data of the technical condition of the hull structures of dry-cargo ships were collected, on the basis of which it is possible to predict the service life of individual structures and the hull of the ship as a whole
