This paper presents an uncertainty study on the manoeuvring behaviour of a twin screw ferry. In particular, we are interested in heel angles that ...
Paper
Quantifying the Uncertainty of the Crabbing Capability
17 Jun 2018
Crabbing is a critical manoeuvre that requires all of the ship’s propulsors to counteract environmental forces. It is acomplex hydrodynamic scenario ...
Paper
On the importance of service conditions and safety in ship design
10 Jun 2018
A good ship design is a balanced design, in which the performance is not limited (or outperformed) by one specific characteristic. Today’s ...
Paper
Preliminary considerations on a unified model for hydrodynamic forces
4 Jul 2016
Choosing the correct formulation for setting the manoeuvring kinematic and dynamic quantities into non-dimensional form becomes critical when low ...
Paper
