%0 Journal Article %T Scheme of design analysis of container ships %A Borodavin Denis Ivanovich %J Vestnik of Astrakhan State Technical University. Series: Marine Engineering and Technologies %D 2011 %I Astrakhan State Technical University %X The solution of the internal problem of designing specialized container ships capable of operating in the Russian ports is offered. On the basis of the data on the specialized vessels calling at the port of St. Petersburg, typical di-mensions of vessels are identified. A phased designing scheme that consists of 11 items: the designing task; the principal dimensions; mass; layout; clarification of the body mass; body shape; statics; capacity; strength; wind resistance; econ-omy is given. A new method for calculating the ship's power plant to operate the specified number of refrigerated containers is presented. %K container capacity %K refrigerated containers %K the principal dimensions %K wind resistance %K the ship's power plant %K payback %K arrangement. %U http://astu.org/Content/UserImages/vestnik/file/sea_1_2011/01.pdf
