Abstract
Ship hull girder is subjected to shear loading, bending moments, torsional moments, transverse and local loading. The distribution of torsional moments along ship length depends on the distribution of the cargo load over ship length and across the ship breadth. The magnitude and distribution of the torsional moments depend also on the direction of ship advance relative to the encountered waves.
