The most important item in the design of an engine room construction or a pump room construction of a tanker is to pay attention to the machinery installed there. Usually the hull structure is to be designed based on the stress not on the deflection. In the case of a small ship the deflection is too small to cause any trouble to the machinery. However in the case of a large ship the deflection of the hull structure causes some troubles.
