✦ Synopsis

A BSTRA CT Advanced Marine Structural Integrity Programs (MSIP) are intended to improve the durabilio, of commercial-ship structures; to enable the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of a ship structure that will be .free .from unexpected durability problems. This paper demonstrates how evaluations can be made to define cost-effective MSIP for commercial crude-oil carriers. The evaluations include tradeq(fs with such design issues as material selection, redundancy, reserve strength, fatigue, and corrosion.
