A design method for adding a
methanol fuel tank in a cargo hold area, wherein topside tanks are provided on both sides of the top of the
hull cargo hold, and
ballast tanks are provided on both sides of the bottom of the
hull cargo hold. First, a single-
hull ship is changed into a double-hull ship, the
deck danger zone is divided, the number of internal corrugated bulkheads is calculated, the type of corrugated bulkheads is set, the lower wall
pier and the upper wall
pier of the corrugated bulkhead are set, the capacity C of the
methanol fuel tank and the length of the
methanol fuel tank are determined, the front and rear isolation empty tanks are set, and the danger zone is inspected. The present invention divides the methanol tank into multiple tanks, and the tank is a clean tank, which is convenient for washing the cargo hold. After washing, other oil products or chemicals can be loaded, and the dangerous area is inspected. The present invention divides the methanol tank into multiple tanks, and the tank is a clean tank, which is convenient for washing the cargo hold. After washing, other oil products or chemicals can be loaded, and the dangerous area is inspected. The
ballast water tank can also be used as an isolation empty tank. When the methanol tank is not used as a methanol tank, the
ballast water tank can be used normally. The conventional design method can be expanded to minimize the occupation of the cargo hold capacity while ensuring that the loading capacity of the methanol tank remains unchanged.
