Abstract In the preliminary design of merchant ships, shipbuilders generally modify some of the standard specifications to fulfill shipowner needs, which is time-consuming owing to the complex techno-economic constraints of ship design. Therefore, an appropriate standard specifications formulation method is necessary to improve the efficiency of the preliminary design. In this study, we performed genetic algorithm-based clustering to determine the subtypes of a specific type of merchant ship and formulated the standard specification for each subtype. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, experiments were performed using 98 specification documents to formulate the standard specifications. The results showed that feature relations among each determined subtype were significantly simpler than those of the main type; thereby, the formulated standard specifications were desirable in the preliminary design of merchant ships.

Methods Of Application

Naval architects and marine engineers should apply practical economics to decision-making in ship design. A commercial ship is not an engineering success unless it is also a potentially profitable investment. Profitability is related to technical characteristics, and these relationships should be understood by the designer. The paper gives a brief outline of several economic methods applicable to ship design, pointing out that the choice of criterion depends on such circumstances as whether revenues are predictable or not. It continues with suggested methods for estimating weights and building costs for ships. The problems of predicting annual transport capacity and operating costs are discussed in detail. There follow several comments on the practical application of all the foregoing ideas to decision-making in ship design. Sample studies are appended. Numerical values given in the paper are only intended to indicate trends. There is no intent to present an estimating handbook; the emphasis is entirely on principles and methods of application.
