DNV DNVGL-RU-YACHT PART 3 CHAPTER 3 PDF

This chapter provides the design load for strength assessments. The load combinations shall be derived for the design load scenarios which cover the appropriate operating modes of the vessel in question:

Passenger yachts shall be categorized by either of the above mentioned vessel types. For special hull shapes individual load analyses may be required.

Probability level for strength assessments

In this chapter, the assessments shall be understood as strength assessment for the strength criteria excluding fatigue, for the loads corresponding to the probability level of Q0 = 10-8.

Dynamic load components All dynamic load components shall be concurrent values calculated for each dynamic load case.

Loads for strength assessment

The strength assessment shall be undertaken for all design load scenarios (global and local) and the final assessment shall be made on the most onerous strength requirement.
