The article aims to design a calm water resistance predictor based on Machine Learning (ML) Tools and develop a systematic series for battery-driven catamaran hullforms. Additionally, employing a machine learning predictor for design optimization through the utilization of a Genetic Algorithm (GA) in an expedited manner. Regression Trees (RTs), Sup...

The aim of article is to design a calm water resistance predictor based on Machine Learning Tools and development of a systematic series for battery-driven catamaran hull forms. Regression Trees (RT), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) regression models are applied for dataset training on developed systematic series...

The latest International Maritime Organization strategies aim to reduce 70% of the CO2 emissions and 50% of the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from maritime activities by 2050, compared to 2008 levels. The EU has set up goals to reduce GHG emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990, and achieve net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. The UK aims t...

An automated practical multi-objective optimisation scheme is proposed for ship hull modification. A shift transformation and a self-blending method are sequentially performed based on resistance objectives at multi-design speeds. The Lackenby variation alters hull forms and produces initial designs. Subsequently, self-blending method combines obta...

Steering a ship in confined waters is particularly important for the efficient operation of high-speed ferries. Bow thruster is the obvious solution. It may have however an adverse effect on the resistance of the vessel. The interference between demi hulls in the case of catamarans becomes an important and complex phenomenon as it affects many aspe...

One of the biggest challenges in the field of maritime safety is the integration of all the systems related to the evacuation and emergency response under one Decision Support Tool that could broadly cover all the emergency cases and assist in the co-ordination of the evacuation process. Besides, for a decision support tool to be useful we need to...

The consideration of shallow water effects has gained in importance regarding inland operations. The interaction between the keel and the riverbed affects the hydrodynamic characteristics of marine vessels. The highly complex nature of the interference phenomenon in catamarans makes the shallow water problem more complicated as compared to monohull...

For preventing global warming, it is essential to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide from international shipping. However, the excessive reduction of the ship propulsion power could induce the loss of manoeuvring control, which results in grounding and collision accidents under adverse weather conditions. Thus, it is crucial to establish the min...

With the potential improvement in safety and efficiency, research into the guidance and control of the autonomous ships are gaining momentum and several autonomous ships are also being trialed in some sea areas. COLREG rules are also integrated in the planning and control algorithms in a variety of ways. Complicated and difficult maneuvers like ber...

Manoeuvring in adverse weather conditions has significant challenges for the shipmaster especially when the ship is equipped with the smaller propulsion power. The automatic control methods for safe manoeuvring in severe weather conditions have not been studied extensively since manual control is applied in these conditions. Moreover, in most numer...

Manoeuvring simulations in realistic sea conditions, i.e. in wind and waves, have recently got the attention due to several reasons such as stringent EEDI regulations and associated minimum power guidelines, optimization of ship design with respect to the real operating conditions, assessment of safety performance in extreme weather conditions etc....

For the new ships to which the energy efficiency design requirements are applied, the installed propulsion power needs to be greater than the required propulsion power as defined in the IMO minimum propulsion power guidelines to maintain operability of the ship under adverse weather conditions. To improve the minimum propulsion power guidelines at...
