tank design

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out with my college marine engineering project. I am currently redesigning the fuel tanks of an Ferry so that it complies with MARPOL regulation 12a.
I have calculated my tank sizes but I do not know how I would go about working out the number of stiffeners I would need and also if I would need transverse stiffeners as well as longitudinal.

The ship is 140m in length and there are 6 tanks located midships. The dimensions are 8m x 5.6m x 3.3m. I know the information given is limited but I just need someone to point me in the right direction.

thanks,
James

Duplicate thread. The replies are here: Fuel Tank Design

Jimmy, this is a 3rd thread you're opening with same question. One is enough, the number of replies don't depend on the number of duplicate threads.
