The Hull of a ship is the most prominent structural component. To describe the ship hull, it is said to be the watertight protection of the ship that protects the cargo, machinery, and spaces of the ship from the climate, flooding, and structural damage. In this work, we have taken a pre-assumed load-charring ship vessel of prescribed length barge hull from the real-time ship. Using these parameters, Lloyd’s rules and regulations are used to design the individual components of the ship hull. The barge ship hull model is created using DELFT ship software, and the barge ship hull was performed and modelling was done in CATIA software. The finite element portion is done in HYPERMESH and ABAQUS. Four types of materials are considered which are used in the building of ship in real time. Initially, the design has been done based on steel material, and stress validation is done using ABAQUS software. Vibration is the main factor in moving parts like ships. To find out the vibration behaviour of the ship hull, model analysis and harmonic analysis were performed. This work is mainly concentrated on deformations, stresses, and vibrations for four types of materials like steel, aluminium, wood, and fibreglass. From this research work, we are suggesting that the materials like steel, aluminium, wood, and fibreglass for the barge ship hull strongly advocate that among these, the fibreglass material exhibits good results, and it can be suggested for developing the practical prototype of the barge ship hull.
