The study also investigates how different steel grades (S235 and S355) influence the selection of structural components. The emphasis is on ensuring the pontoon's structural integrity, assuming that the calculated plate thicknesses and profile dimensions will be implemented. Two software tools were utilised for the analysis: Mars Inland and Ansys. Furthermore, calculations adhered to the standards of Bureau Veritas, the French classification society, particularly Rule Note No. 217.
