ENGINEERING RELATED CONSULTANCY
PRS surveyors and researchers, who are well experienced in solving scientific problems of ship structure safety, develop tools to analyse and simulate the structural strength of floating objects, ship behaviour in waves, and the performance of equipment, which may affect safety.
We are ready to check the structural strength parameters for bulk carriers and oil tankers in accordance with Common Structural Rules for Bulk Carriers and Oil Tankers. The software developed in PRS includes preliminary calculations (Prescriptive), checking zone strength criteria, local strength criteria, fatigue life and buckling strength using the results obtained by FEM calculations and the calculations of ultimate load capacity.
We perform specialist simulations of the behaviour of installations in waves, sloshing in tanks, in damaged cargo holds, and also on deck.
