Currently, the ship container generation has allowed for the carriage of containers on deck up to four tiers high. The container loads in tiers high affect on deck structure. Consequently, an insert plate is used and located on the top of the ship deck structure for placing the container corner fitting. Sometimes container fitting is placed between longitudinal deck beams under without supporting construction such as pillar or carling. Therefore, this matter should be analyzed to obtain the strength behavior of the insert plate. This study describes the strength analysis using the finite element method (FEM) through ANSYS software. Based on the simulation results, the maximum Von Mises stress of the insert plate was obtained exceeds 181 N/mm2 and 235 N/mm2 in the initial condition, whereas the insert plate could support only 15% loads per corner fitting (three tiers high). Then, the thickness addition of the insert plate until 24 mm reduced the stress, however, the reduction was a small magnitude. By adding two carling construction is similar to the size of a transverse deck beam, under the insert plate, the stress was obtained 138.54 N/mm2.

The strength of transversal structure of the ship has a great effect on the safety of ship. Shipswill experience conditions that affect the strength of the ships structure. A deck-container ships are the ships that all container are loaded on deck such as MV. Khendaga Nusantara series ships. The transversal strength of the ships is loaded mainly by the weight of cargolaying on deck.. This research aims to determine the transverse strength of a deck-container ship due to the all container loads on deck. The research was done by usingfinite element method throughmodeling transverse ship structure, the simulation is conducted by varying the amount and lay-out of containers on dec). The loads appliedto the model are side loads, bottomloads, and deck loads in according to BKI rules. The results shows that the stress that occurred in the web frame was 140,63 N/mm2due to the placement of the entire container on the deck(full loading). For ship structure response, a deformation of 2,86 mm occurred in the web frame area at maximum loading. Stress ratio that occurs in all ship’s structuredoes not exceed 1 in other words the working stress does not exceed the allowedstress according to BKI rules.

The increasing use of fossil fuels will cause the world's oil reserves to be depleted. In this case, it is necessary to increase the use of alternative renewable fuels, one of which is biodiesel waste cooking oil (WCO). The method used is an experimental test with a mixture of used cooking oil biodiesel and fuel. Before testing, the temperature of each fuel is increased to determine the effect of temperature on the density and viscosity values. The highest density value is found in B50 fuel at 26 °C, with a density of 0.854 gr/ml, while the lowest density is found in diesel fuel at 60 °C, with a density of 0.822 gr/ml. The highest viscosity value is found in B50 fuel at 26 °C and 60 °C, which is 3.26 cSt. After that, testing was carried out on a diesel engine, which produced the highest thermal efficiency value of 21.16% on B50 fuel with a temperature of 60 °C at 1000 rpm rotation and a load of 4000 watts. The lowest thermal efficiency of 6.43% was found in B50 fuel with a temperature of 26 °C at 800 rpm and a load of 1000 watts. The lowest consumption was found in B30 with a temperature of 60 °C at 1200 rpm, which was 420.78 gr/kWh. From the results of the tests that have been carried out, it can be concluded that the lower the density and viscosity of the fuel, the better the performance of the diesel engine on average. High temperatures effectively make the engine performance value better than normal temperatures (26 °C), and the performance of diesel engines is better with WCO fuel, especially in SFC.

This paper discusses the influence of asymmetrically damaged ships on the ultimate hull girder strength. When such damages take place at the asymmetric location of cross sections, not only translation but also inclination of instantaneous neutral axis takes place during the process of the progressive collapse. To investigate this effect, the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is employed and the damage is assumed in the middle hold. The collision damage is modeled by removing the plate and stiffener elements at the damage region assuming the complete loss of the capacity at the damage part.
