Abstract
The invention is concerned with a method for assembling hulls of vessels intended to carry bulk, liquid and gas cargo and comprising an aft end, a parallel middlebody and a fore end. The building berth comprises a main site composed of a rear area and front area and having at least one adjacent transverse lateral area. The parallel middlebody is assembled from two parts. The aft and fore ends are assembled in the lateral area. The two parts which make up the parallel middlebody, and the aft and fore ends then all joined into a hull.

A method for assembling hulls of vessels intended to carry bulk, liquid and gas cargo and comprising an aft end, a parallel middlebody and a fore end, the method being carried out on a building berth comprising a main site composed of a rear area and a front area and including at least one adjacent transverse lateral area, said method comprising:
- assembling a first part of said parallel middlebody, adjacent to said aft end, in the rear area of said main site;
- assembling said aft end in said lateral area;
- transferring said assembled aft end to the front area of said main site;
- transferring said assembled part of the parallel middlebody adjacent to said aft end to the front area of said main site;
- assembling a second part of said parallel middlebody, adjacent to said fore end, in the front area of said main site;
- assembling said fore end in said lateral area;
- transferring said assembled fore end to the front area of said main site;
- joining together said assembled aft end, said assembled part of the parallel middlebody adjacent to the aft end, said assembled part of the parallel middlebody adjacent to the fore end, and said assembled fore end to form a completed hull;
- and launching the completed hull.
A method for assembling hulls of vessels intended to carry bulk, liquid and gas cargo and comprising an aft end, a parallel middlebody and a fore end, the method being carried out on a building berth comprising a main site composed of a rear area and a front area and including at least one adjacent transverse lateral area, said method comprising:

- transferring said assembled aft end to the front area of said main site;
- transferring said assembled part of the parallel middleboby adjacent to the aft end to the front area of said main site;
- joining together said aft end and said part of the parallel middlebody adjacent to said aft end to form an aft half of the hull;
- launching the completed aft half of the hull;
- assembling a second part of said parallel middlebody, adjacent to said fore end, in the front area of said main site;
- assembling said fore end in said lateral area;
- transferring said assembled part of the parallel middlebody adjacent to said fore end to a joining station of said main site;
- transferring said assembled fore end to the joining station of said main site;
- joining together said fore end and said part of the parallel middlebody adjacent to said fore end to form a fore half of the hull;
- launching the fore half of the hull;
- joining together afloat the two parts of the parallel middlebody, butted to the aft end and fore end, respectively.
A method for assembling hulls of vessels intended to carry bulk, liquid and gas cargo and comprising an aft end, a parallel middlebody and a fore end, the method being carried out on a building berth comprising a main site composed of a rear area and a front area and including two adjacent transverse lateral areas, said method comprising:
- assembling a first part of said parallel middlebody, adjacent to said aft end, in one of said lateral areas;
- assembling said aft end in the other of said lateral areas;
- transferring said assembled part of the parallel middlebody adjacent to the aft end to the front area of said main site;
- transferring said assembled aft end to the front area of said main site;
- assembling a second part of said parallel middlebody, adjacent to said fore end, in the front area of said main site;
- assembling said fore end in any one of said lateral areas;
- transferring said assembled fore end to a joining station of said main site;
- joining together said assembled part of the parallel middlebody adjacent to the aft end, said assembled aft end, said assembled part of the parallel middlebody adjacent to the fore end, and said assembled fore end to form a completed hull;
- and launching the completed hull.
