The paper presents the method and scope of analysis of the hull strength of four ships designed in the Eureka project. Criteria of the Det Norske Veritas rules for classification and construction of ships wereused in the analysis. Specific features of the structure of each hull have been described and the resulting problems connected with ensuring adequate strength
