This chapter deals with the basic naval architectural drawings and plans (ship lines, general arrangement and capacity plan), which are required in the course of a ship’s design and construction process. Modern shipyards and design offices use more and more computerized representations of the ship, from the first layout, to ship design and the production process, thus hardcopies of the plans are used less and less. However, the basic naval architectural plans are essential from a conceptual point of view and serve the needs of information exchange during the design and construction procedure, namely

    Approval of ship’s design and construction by the classification society and flag registry authorities

    Information medium for ship’s operation

    Information medium for the overall manufacturing process

    The present chapter defines a ship’s basic drawings and plans, elaborates on the design of the ship’s hull form and ship lines by use of traditional methods and data of systematic hull form series, when no relevant information is available from similar ships and by use of interpolation and distortion methods, when the lines of parent ships are available. It proceeds with the elaboration of the procedure for setting up ship’s general arrangement plan and closes with the preparation of ship’s capacity plan. The various design steps are supported by illustrative examples of application.
