- This paper will give an overview of the demonstration case Modular Deck System for RoRo Vessels developed within RAMSSES (Realisation and Demonstration of Advanced Material Solutions for Sustainable and Efficient Ships) EU funded project under HORIZON 2020. The research and development is addressed to the construction of internal strength decks on RoRo vessels introducing FRP (Fibre reinforced plastic) pultruded profiles and FRP sandwich technology. Reducing the weight of decks results in many benefits regarding general ship design due to large number of decks. Improved flexibility in the ship design, where weight could be traded for ship size, scantlings, cargo capacity, speed, installed power and weight, integration of structures and outfitting. Optimising the deck structure design using innovative materials and geometry results in more efficient production as well. With respect to ship operational aspects such as Fuel oil consumption and CO2 emission reduction due to ship lightweight reduction leads to increased propulsion efficiency. The overall objective at RAMSSES is to develop optimised structure of RO-RO/Car-carrier using RAMSSES defined deck modules with respect to production optimisation as main objective followed by weight reduction, joint development, Fuel oil consumption and CO2 emission reduction.
