The informations of ship structural design have been represented as the form various drawing plants, but to enhance the design productivity, it is necessary to utilize the advanced technologies such as CAD system and database management system. In this study, efforts are focused on the data modelling of those informations of midship configuration and attribute for the integration of ship structural design programs through database system. As actual example, midship configuration of bulk carrier was visualized by computer graphics. Relational data model is employed and topological informations is used for the best treatment of geometries representing structural arrangement. RDBMS 'ORACLE' was used for the implementation of the results.
