Abstract

The maritime transportation sector is rapidly growing depending on the global growth, hence chemical tanker shipping is positively being affected concordantly. Detailed analyses are required to define costs accurately at the preliminary design stage as shipbuilding projects require high levels of financing which may be affected by daily price fluctuations in the global economic system.
