New project to focus on wave resistance in ship design
Design and engineering consultancy, Houlder, is to collaborate with Siem Shipping UK and the University of Southampton on a new ship design tool to improve wave resistance predictions in the early stages of ship design. The aim is to improve the accuracy of wave resistance modelling by using real-life wave data to make vessel operations more efficient. The Conceptual, Operational, Modelling Linked (COMLink) Tool, a project funded by the Smart Shipping Acceleration Fund, will tackle the issue of additional power requirements in real ocean conditions....
