The objective of this work is to analyse the effect of the neutral axis movement, translation and rotation, of the mid-ship section on the ultimate load carrying capacity of a container ship subjected to asymmetrical bending moment for a non-damaged ship hull. The ultimate bending moment assessments are performed by the solution stipulated by the Common Structural Rules, finite element method and MARS2000 software. The achieved results are compared and discussed.
