HEA performed a structural evaluation of the T-AKE vessel bulwark and its adjacent ship structure under the 26″ lizard line cleat design load and sea state 5 loading conditions. A finite element model of the bulwark and adjacent ship structure was modified to reflect critical changes to the design. Results of the analysis showed that the stresses in the bulwark and adjacent ship structure were within the allowable stress.
