Interior
Cabins, inclusive their furniture, insulation and carpeting are the main items of the Interior system.
Steel structure
All major constructional work is summed under this system. Although it is called steel, it might as well be wood,
aluminium, or plastic, even though steel is the most recognisable.
Piping
All the piping systems in the ship. Pipes run throughout the entire ship, for ballast water transfer, sanitary disposal,
fuel transfer, and sometimes even to load and unload cargo or between onboard chemical processes.
Besides these ‘general’ systems there are also primary systems in a ship which give the ship its added value to
the shipowner. These systems are very diverse and cover installations for dredging, loading and unloading, pipelaying,
LNG, etc. For this diversity in systems it is expected that for components (like valves, pumps, pipes, electric
motors, etc.) standards are available (besides other parts of IFC, eCl@ss, ETIM, ISO15926) and can be used.
4.3 Conclusion
From the two main views on shipbuilding,
as shown in figures 7 and 8, it can
be seen that no available standard or
project result covers all in both views
although some elements are already
there. However, these elements (i.e.
existing most promising solutions)
are not or only on a very restricted
basis related to each other.
The intention of EUROMIND is to cover all the phases and all the systems and that it offers the relation between
these partial solutions.
