Abstract

The deep-sea roll-on/roll-off vessel Boogabilla was successfully completed in the middle of August 1978. For a ship of the roll-on/roll-off type, the Boogabilla has several revolutionary features, such as a large-bore, slow-speed diesel engine, three parallel trafficways, and a jumbo angled stern ramp. These features are described in the paper, along with the general arrangement, including machinery spaces, optimization of hull form and propeller, structural design, safety measures, noise control, and other particulars that required special consideration.
