<p>The invention concerns ships, particularly intended for the carriage of ro-ro cargo. It provides ships with high level of safety in the damage condition, easily meeting the requirements of the new rules based on the probabilistic concept, entering into force on 1 February 1992. A ship according to the invention embodies the characteristics of having double sides (2) at least on part of its length, terminated at least at the first continuous deck above the bullhead deck and having double decks (4, 10) at least the bullhead deck (4), whereas the double sides and double decks are sufficiently densely subdivided by watertight bullheads into watertight compartments whilst cargo spaces (6 and 7) below the double decks (4 and 10) are provided with efficient air -escapes (8 and 9). The height of the double decks is preferably not greater than the height of deck stiffeners of an adequate single deck while the breadth of the double sides (2) is preferably not greater than B/10. <IMAGE></p> |
