Several advantages of multihull, such as catamaran, have been extensively discussed in the previous research. Therefore, this research focuses on developing a catamaran hull form for fish processing vessel hull. The initial stage is determining principal dimension and exploring configurations forms. existing high-speed craft catamarans adopted to determine parent model main dimensions using lin...

This paper numerically investigates the resistance at full-scale of a zero-emission, high-speed catamaran in both deep and shallow water, with Froude number ranging from 0.2 to 0.8. The numerical methods are validated by two means: (a) Comparison available model tests; (b) blind validation using different flow solvers. resistance, sinkage, trim catamaran, as well wave pattern, longitudinal cuts...

The decision tools for high speed craft HSC design have improved due to the increasing computer ability to treat more complex problems. Genetic algorithms and multi objective problems where the mathematical models used are complex and take computer time to evaluate and select the feasible designs are very common nowadays. Uncertainty also is very frequent in high speed vessel design variables a...

Paper introduces main characteristics and particulars of an innovative design for an Unmanned Surface Vehicle to autonomously launch and recover AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles) in open sea. The USV has an unconventional SWATH hull shape and in its smaller size version, it has dedicated hangar at midship that can host one medium size AUV, completely recovered onboard. The focus of this pap...
