This paper presents an overview of ship general arrangement design methodologies and philosophies and early-stage design capabilities, particularly during the last decade. The arrangement of a ship has a unique feature in that it can both enable successful shipboard operations and constrain the performance of all subsystems. Stable ship layout is critical to producible, and therefore cost effective, designs and time. This paper overviews the efforts made by the researchers in the last decade to improve generating the arrangement rapidly . Also, identify areas of the ship general arrangements process that are insufficiently addressed or not addressed at all in order to keep pushing the field of general arrangements forward.

The paper describes work which is being carried out as part of a collaborative research programme between the British warshipbuilding company, Yarrow Shipbuilders Ltd., and the Department of Naval Architecture at The University of Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Recent developments in CAD have made available to the designer a wide range of hardware and software which encourage the application of interactive, graphics‐based design procedures. Such methods can be of significant benefit in modern warships design where the optimal utilization of ‘space’ is a primary design goal. Two facets which influence and control space management systems are the adjacency of functional areas and the environment into which a space is to be placed. Recent work concerned with the geometric representation and manipulation of architectural arrangements has been adapted for use in marine vehicle design. An optimal design procedure which utilizes the theory of fuzzy sets is used to achieve the general layout of space which allows the delineation of the main compartments of a vessel. The hull envelope can be generated using a surface generation module or by using previously faired basis ship offsets held in a data base. Having defined the compartmental configuration of the functional spaces the next level of design is concerned with a more detailed consideration of compartments, or groups of compartments and the equipment and systems they contain. Equipment is defined in terms of ergonomic envelopes, geometry and connectivity of services etc. The attributes of a 3‐D graphics workstation are used, in conjunction with an equipment library, to provide an effective detailed design procedure. The layout of equipment in spaces usually concerns the achievement of goals which conflict or have different priorities. The use of optimal goal programming techniques is suggested as a way of solving the multi‐objective problem. As illustrative examples of the method the layout of the victual complex and dining areas for a small warship are generated.

With the trend in modern naval ships towards less dense payloads, space layout design has become more important. Recent advances in computing science and increased understanding of methods for developing mathematical models, which form the basis of the space layout design, have helped with the development of a powerful design procedure. In this study, the compartment layout problem, which can be regarded as the space layout design of a naval ship, is represented as a mathematical model, and a compartment layout algorithm based on the genetic algorithm (GA) in order to solve the problem is proposed. Comparative testing shows that the proposed algorithm performs better than other existing algorithms for the optimal compartment layout design. Finally, the proposed algorithm is applied to the compartment layout problem of a naval ship and the computational results are compared with the actual compartment layout of the naval ship.
