The 140m length aluminum SES (surface effect ship), the TSL (Techno Super Liner), was constructed by Mitsui Engineering and Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. She was launched in November 2004 and sea trials were conducted successfully from August through October, 2005. This paper presents the following structural design and construction features. Aluminum alloy was entirely used, and the FSW (Friction Stir Welding) was extensively applied. The structural design was developed in accordance with the 'design by analysis 'procedure. Advanced numerical simulations and model tests were carried out under various kinds of on and off cushion conditions to obtain design wave loads. The yielding, buckling and fatigue strength of hull structure were verified by the results of three dimensional finite element analysis. The ultimate longitudinal strength in the critical design condition was assessed by the progressive collapse analysis. TSS(Total Support System ), which monitors the structural responses, was installed to enhance the safe operation and the adequate maintenance. In addition to the above mentioned features, some of the sea trial results are described in the paper.
