Abstract

The continuous endeavour of the shipping industry for economic growth has led the shipbuilding industry to explore new designs for ships. Additionally, the introduction of new regulations by the International Maritime Organisation frequently triggers changes in the ship design process. In this respect, proper use of computer-aided ship design systems extends the design space, while generating competitive solutions in short lead time. This paper focuses on multi-objective optimisation of containerships. The developed methodology is demonstrated by the conceptual de-sign and optimisation of a post-panamax containership. The methodology includes a parametric model of the ship’s external and internal geometry and the development and calculation of all required properties for compliance with the design constraints and verification of the key performance indicators. Moreover, compliance with the second generation intact stability criteria and structural rules regarding the vessels’ midship section was checked. Genetic algorithms were used for the solution of this optimisation problem.

2015). Holism is interpreted as a multi-objective optimisation of ship design and is based on the main idea that a system, along with its properties, should be viewed and optimised as a whole and not as a collection of parts (Papanikolaou, 2010). In that respect, efforts are currently being made in the framework of the European Union funded HOLI-SHIP project (HOLISHIP, 2016). According to the project’s approach, a proposed model follows modern computer-aided engineering (CAE) procedures and integrates techno-economic databases, calculation and optimisation modules and software tools along with a complete virtual model which allows the virtual testing before the building phase of a new vessel. This work was partially funded by the H2020 European Union project “HOLISHIP-Holistic Optimisation of Ship Design and Operation for Life Cycle” (contract 689074).
