All versions rely on resonant water motions in a chamber which, by essence, is a very non-linear process. To account for these non-linearities, several approaches have been proposed, where the most recent and complete one is the direct coupling of time domain seakeeping codes with a CFD models of the ART. However, this approach comes at the price of relatively high computation effort. This is in contradiction with the need for long simulations to establish the effects of the non-linearities in the ART reaction forces on extreme events. To reduce the computation costs of a direct simulation, a new technique is proposed which uses retardation functions based on harmonic ART response data. The technique proposed here uses a family of retardation functions with a Hilbert transform method for time dependent interpolations to capture the non-linearity in the response of the tank as a function of excitation amplitude.},

Is the ship able to sustain sufficient speed to maintain heading and is the main engine able to cope with the overload? In moderate weather conditions, fuel economy is most important. In these conditions, the power demand increases when speed is sustained or when sailing at constant power the added resistance will result in speed loss.
The safety and economic aspects can already be studied in the design stage with so-called operability studies. These studies account for the actual service conditions and assist the designer to optimize for service conditions and to select an appropriate service margin.

abstract = {The design of a say 5 year ‘young’ container ship is usually the result of an optimisation for maximum speed at design draught. Such design is mostly the result of an attempt to reach the contractual speed. However, a well balanced modern container ship should be a compromise between minimum fuel consumption and maximum cargo capacity across an intended or forecasted operational profile. In the design process, the focus should not only be on the calm water resistance and propulsive aspects but also the added resistance due to wind and waves should be considered, as well as the cavitation behaviour and related propeller induced pressure pulses. The SAVER 10000 developed for and in cooperation with the Canadian Owner Seaspan Ship Management Limited (Seaspan) is a pioneer in this new approach to balance the minimum fuel consumption and maximum loadability, taking into account the aspects as indicated.},

booktitle = {11th International Marine Design Conference (IMDC), Glasgow, UK},
abstract = {There is continuous research on analytical, numerical and (semi-)empirical methods to predict wave added resistance. Most of this research focuses on a particular area, like motion induced wave added resistance, wave added resistance in short waves or is limited to head seas only. The practical application of most methods is therefore often limited. Moreover, most methods require detailed information on hull lines and results are rather sensitive to the discretisation of those hull lines. Since 2006, MARIN has been investigating the feasibility of empirical methods which do not have those limitations. They only require the main particulars to predict wave added resistance. Within the Sea Trial Analysis joint industry project (STA-JIP), a method was developed for the correction of wave added resistance in head seas covering both the motion induced and the wave reflection induced component. This method was further refined and extended to all wave directions within the service performance analysis JIP (SPA-JIP) in 2008.
This paper presents the results of the comparison between the prediction methods and model tests for almost 50 different ships, comprising more than 1500 tests in regular and irregular seas.},

abstract = {While the advanced art of minimising the installed power for a given speed has a clear role in the design of container ships, the place of seakeeping is less well established. The incidental character of seakeeping problems at sea in combination with the fact that building for good seakeeping may decrease the container capacity and increase the building costs seems a major reason for this, in addition to the sheer complexity of the issues. The present paper
addresses the last point with an effort to give a complete review of the seakeeping issues in containership design. Based on recent experience from model tests the work explores the physical nature of the involuntary speed loss in waves and reasons for a voluntary speed reduction (green water loads, whipping accelerations due to bow and stern slamming, engine racing) or change in course (exposure of containers to wave crests, rolling). In addition a review is given of the extreme behaviour that the master would like to avoid altogether, like excessive heel due to loss of stability in following seas and parametric roll. Based on the results tentative design guidance is formulated.},

abstract = {The design of a say 5 year ‘young’ container ship is usually the result of an optimisation for maximum speed at design draught. Such design is mostly the result of an attempt to reach the contractual speed. However, a well balanced modern container ship should be a compromise between minimum fuel consumption and maximum cargo capacity across an intended or forecasted operational profile. In the design process, the focus should not only be on the calm water resistance and propulsive aspects but also the added resistance due to wind and waves should be considered, as well as the cavitation behaviour and related propeller induced pressure pulses. The SAVER 10000 developed for and in cooperation with the Canadian Owner Seaspan Ship Management Limited (Seaspan) is a pioneer in this new approach to balance the minimum fuel consumption and maximum loadability, taking into account the aspects as indicated.},

This type of ship must not only have good efficiency and operability for keeping tight time schedules, but must also provide comfort and ensure safety to the passengers. To achieve a proper balance between these different aspects the designer must face and solve particular issues, distinctive of this kind of vessel. Recent hydrodynamic studies performed at MARIN, both numerical and experimental, have provided information on this topic and are presented in this paper.},

abstract = {There is continuous research on analytical, numerical and (semi-)empirical methods to predict wave added resistance. Most of this research focuses on a particular area, like motion induced wave added resistance, wave added resistance in short waves or is limited to head seas only. The practical application of most methods is therefore often limited. Moreover, most methods require detailed information on hull lines and results are rather sensitive to the discretisation of those hull lines. Since 2006, MARIN has been investigating the feasibility of empirical methods which do not have those limitations. They only require the main particulars to predict wave added resistance. Within the Sea Trial Analysis joint industry project (STA-JIP), a method was developed for the correction of wave added resistance in head seas covering both the motion induced and the wave reflection induced component. This method was further refined and extended to all wave directions within the service performance analysis JIP (SPA-JIP) in 2008.
This paper presents the results of the comparison between the prediction methods and model tests for almost 50 different ships, comprising more than 1500 tests in regular and irregular seas.},

The MARIN and TNO involvement in these developments, and in particular the increase in size, have lead to new insights in how the ship design governs passenger discomfort.
Our contribution to the conference highlights our experience with the link between passenger comfort and cruise ship design by identifying the particular seakeeping qualities of cruise ships that govern passenger comfort and showing the impact the most important choices in cruise ship design on these governing factors. Attention is paid to the effect of combined motions and roll stabilisation on seasickness, the discomfort introduced by slamming induced whipping and to postural stability.},

abstract = {While the advanced art of minimising the installed power for a given speed has a clear role in the design of container ships, the place of seakeeping is less well established. The incidental character of seakeeping problems at sea in combination with the fact that building for good seakeeping may decrease the container capacity and increase the building costs seems a major reason for this, in addition to the sheer complexity of the issues. The present paper
addresses the last point with an effort to give a complete review of the seakeeping issues in containership design. Based on recent experience from model tests the work explores the physical nature of the involuntary speed loss in waves and reasons for a voluntary speed reduction (green water loads, whipping accelerations due to bow and stern slamming, engine racing) or change in course (exposure of containers to wave crests, rolling). In addition a review is given of the extreme behaviour that the master would like to avoid altogether, like excessive heel due to loss of stability in following seas and parametric roll. Based on the results tentative design guidance is formulated.},
