Hull Forms

In response to the increasing number of free trade agreements (FTA) and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TTP), it is necessary to develop next-generation fishing vessels for the littoral sea of the Republic of Korea. The main objectives of such fishing vessels are to enhance the comfort of the crew and to improve fuel efficiency under the newly established principal dimension. This paper employs the hull form variation method to obtain a series of forebody hull forms of the 19 gross tonnage class of a coastal composite fishing vessel. Chine breadth modification has been used for hull form variations. The objective function is the minimum value of wavemaking resistance. A parametric study was conducted to observe the effects of design parameters on the objective functions, and hull-form optimization was performed. In addition to the hull-form optimization, the effect of the stern flap was investigated in terms of both resistance and operational performances.

The University

The University of British Columbia (UBC) and the British Columbia Research Incorporated (BCRI) collaborated to design a fishing vessel suitable for use on the west coast of Canada. This vessel, called the UBC Series parent hull form, was designed to have a large aft deck area and a volumetric coefficient comparable to those of modern Canadian fishing vessels. The resistance characteristics of this hull were improved without compromising on functionality and usable space. A resistance algorithm developed from the results for a systematic series of low-L/B displacement-type vessels, the UBC Series, was previously published (Calisal&McGreer, 1993). However, during the design process, the seakeeping performance of the vessel was never addressed. This paper describes the seakeeping performance of the UBC series in head seas. An algorithm, developed from the results of the model tests, can be used to calculate the seakeeping response of similar low L/B vessels. To calibrate the seakeeping measurement procedure, tank instrumentation, and data collection system, the ITTC Standard Seakeeping hull form (the S-175 hull form) was tested and the results were compared against published results for this hull form. The same techniques used for the standard hull form were then used to measure the seakeeping performance of the UBC Series. Possible application of the algorithm for non-UBC Series forms is also discussed.

Several advantages of multihull, such as catamaran, have been extensively discussed in the previous research. Therefore, this research focuses on developing a catamaran hull form for the fish processing vessel hull. The initial stage is determining the principal dimension and exploring the configurations of catamaran hull forms. The existing high-speed craft catamarans have been adopted to determine the parent model main dimensions using a linear regression equation model. Otherwise, the catamarans single demi-hull geometry was developed by converting and modifying the parent model hull form with enlarging the hull displacement to achieve the deadweight capacity and service speed requirements. The demi-hull spacing configuration with s/L 0.17, s/L 0.20, s/L 0.30, and s/L 0.40 on the resistance characteristics, intact stability, and sea-keeping behaviour were also explored. Furthermore, the comparisons with the previously proposed monohull were presented. Regarding the hull resistance performance, the analysis indicated that the catamaran hull form had better total resistance characteristics than the monohull on the service speed over 23 knots. In the case of intact stability, the analysis results presented that the catamaran hull form has better intact stability characteristics than the monohull. The dynamic stability of the catamarans also gave better dynamic stability at the heeling angle below 41.57°. Otherwise, the catamarans with s/L 0.17 and s/L 0.20 have lower dynamic stability than the monohull at the heeling angle larger than 41.57° and 58.03°, respectively. In the sea-keeping performance, the catamaran hull has shown an excellent rolling motion required for the offshore environment loading/unloading process. The large demi hull spacing of the catamarans hull can reduce the effect of the wave creating load on the roll motion response at the Beam Sea.

Trawl Fishing

Most fishing vessels are less than 100 m in length between the perpendiculars, for which adherence to the International Maritime Organization maneuverability standards are not mandatory. In the design stage of fishing vessels, maneuverability is estimated using empirical formulas—mainly analytical methods—rather than costly and time-consuming model tests. However, the empirical formula is developed through the process of regression analysis on the model test results from merchant ships’ hull form and applying the same to the fishing vessels’ hull form may result in an estimation error due to the differences in the vessels’ characteristics—e.g., L/B, B/d and Cb·B/L—. In a previous study, the authors of this paper derived a modified empirical formula by adding the hull form parameters of trawl fishing vessels to the existing empirical formula based on those of merchant ships. This study analyzes the validity of the modified empirical formula in depth by applying it to a newly-built training vessel that has the hull form of a trawl fishing vessel. As a result of the study, the estimation results were improved by including the parameters of the hull form of trawl fishing vessels in the empirical formula developed for merchant ships.

The Relationship

Throughout the world many Platform Supply Vessel designs have been proposed as the optimal form for their given operating environment, but evaluating these claims has been difficult due to a poor understanding of the relationships between hull form shapes and performance for these vessels. This paper presents the results of analysis aimed at determining these relationships. Results of CFD calculations to determine the Effective Horsepower/tonne for a series of PSV designs were presented in the paper A step towards an optimum PSV Hull form. This paper presents results for 16 separate hull forms, which were designed as each possible combination of four two-level hull form parameters. The hull form features considered were bow shape (vertical stem or bulbous), flat of bottom (flat or deadrise), length of parallel mid body (short or long), and stern shape (convention or integrated); resistance was calculated at two typical operating speeds (10 and 14 knots). This set of results was favourable for analysis using the statistical design of experiments technique: analysis of variance, which was used to determine the relationship between the hull and resistance performance. The same hull form series was used to study the effects of the hull form parameters on motions in head waves. A 2 level factorial experiment was designed based on the hull parameters with the heave and pitch response calculated using the potential flow ship motion prediction code Shipmo3D, for each of two representative wave conditions (summer light seas and winter heavy seas) at the zero speed and 10 knot operating speed. Analysis of variance was used to analyze the heave and pitch responses measured, and was used to determine the relationship between each hull parameter and each response. In both cases a 5% F-test was used to determine the significance of each parameter studied, and the significant effects were analyzed to determine their contributions to the overall model of the data. The results have found the relationships between the hull design parameters and the Effective Horespower/tonne, heave, and pitch response of the vessel, indicating which factors provide the largest contribution to minimizing each response. The interaction effects between factors were also examined to allow for a generalized understanding of the resulting effect of selecting one hull parameter over another. A numerical model combining all significant factors was fitted to the data, allowing for multiple objective optimization to determine which hull forms provide the most desirable performance for each response.

Well-established operational practices have determined the evolution of RNLI lifeboats throughout their history. The RNLI's requirement/or an all-fast offshore fleet of the self-righting type by 1993, however, motivated the need to re-examine basic design parameters of boats and launching equipment. More recent requirements to improve lifeboat performance further have demanded even closer evaluation of design requirements of hull form, machinery installation and construction materials. This paper outlines the history of the development of RNLI craft and describes the procedures for the design and development of its newest classes of lifeboat (FAB 3 and FAB 4), for which extensive model testing of differing hull forms was evaluated, various types of machinery were reviewed and construction, although in composite materials, was carefully designed to accommodate high hydrodynamic and impact loads. Technical trials and operational evaluation procedures are also discussed.

Trimaran hull form as multihull ship becomes more attractive these days in various ship types. It offers more advantages in terms of seakeeping performances, particularly on the application of a fishing vessel. However, thus far, the conventional design of fishing vessels is not favorable to ensure the safety of a vessel sailing in a rough sea. In conjunction with such issues, we discuss a trimaran fishing vessel design based on the seakeeping criterion to evaluate the dynamic stability, ship motion RAOs, and ship resistances at the initial design stages using linear strip theory. The intact stabilities are calculated to complement the seakeeping results. The analytical method based on the slender body method is used to evaluate the steady wave resistances. The results of heave, pitch, roll motions, and the ship resistances are discussed. At the zero speed and forward speed, the trimaran shows a favorable motion amplitude, although in forward speeds at the case of head seas there is no significant difference. The trimaran presents a favorable steady-resistance up to the ship speed of Fn=0.27, and it becomes deteriorating than the monohull at higher ship speeds. However, the added wave resistances of the wavelength range 1.0 – 3.0 shows significant added resistances at Fn=0.25 and Fn=0.35, respectively. The results of this study present promising seakeeping and resistance characteristics of the trimaran hull form. The trimaran hull form ensures the safety, reliability, and operation efficiency of ships sailing in broader ranges of violent-sea environment.

Hull Forms

The present paper proposes a new mixed-fidelity method to optimize the shape of ships using genetic algorithms (GA) and potential flow codes to evaluate the hydrodynamics of variant hull forms, enhanced by a surrogate model based on an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to account for viscous effects. The performance of the variant hull forms generated by the GA is evaluated for calm water resistance using potential flow methods which are quite fast when they run on modern computers. However, these methods do not take into account the viscous effects which are dominant in the stern region of the ship. Solvers of the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes Equations (RANS) should be used in this respect, which, however, are too time-consuming to be used for the evaluation of some hundreds of variants within the GA search. In this study, a RANS solver is used prior to the execution of the GA to train an ANN in modeling the effect of stern design geometrical parameters only. Potential flow results, accounting for the geometrical design parameters of the rest of the hull, are combined with the aforementioned trained meta-model for the final hull form evaluation. This work concentrates on the provision of a more reliable framework for the evaluation of hull form performance in calm water without a significant increase of the computing time.

This research is focused on the development of the design and prototype of monohull fish processing vessel hullform to support fishing activities such as catching fish, collecting fish from the smaller boats and processing fish catches. The extensive on-board facilities in the fish processing vessel are maintaining the freshness of the catch and improving the quality of catch fish than traditional fishing boat. The initial stage of this study is determining the principal dimension and exploring of the configurations of monohull hull forms. Furthermore, the investigation of resistance characteristics, intact stability and seakeeping behavior was carried out using strip theory and computational fluid dynamic methods. Regarding the performance of the hulls resistance, the analysis indicates that the hull form with smaller block coefficients showed better resistance characteristics. In the case of intact stability, the results of the analysis showed that the model 2 of monohull hull form showed better intact stability characteristics compared to the other models

Ship Maneuverability

Fishing vessels with a length (LBP) of less than 100 m are generally not required to comply with the mandatory IMO Ship Maneuverability Standards. Therefore, an analytical method using empirical formula is preferred rather than a model test, which consumes a lot of time and monetary resources in estimating the maneuverability at the design stage. However, most empirical formulas have been derived from the model test results of merchant ships, and in the process, estimation errors may occur when hull-form parameters (L/B or CbB/L) with high correlation are applied to fishing vessel hull form whose characteristics are different from those of merchant ships. Therefore, a modified empirical formula was derived from previous research by including major parameters of fishing vessel hull form in the Kijima 90 empirical formula. In this study, maneuverability of stern trawler hull form is estimated for validating a modified empirical formula. The study confirmed that including characteristic parameters of the fishing vessel hull form in the empirical formula developed for merchant ships could improve the accuracy of estimation.

Recent studies demonstrate that fisheries are massive contributors to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The average Korean fishing vessel is old, fuel-inefficient, and creates a large volume of emissions. Yet, there is little research on how to address the GHG emissions in Korean fisheries. This study estimated the change in GHG emissions and emission costs at different levels of fishing operations using a steady-state bioeconomic model based on the case of the Anchovy Tow Net Fishery (ATNF) and the Large Purse Seine Fishery (LPSF). We conclude that reducing the fishing efforts of the ATNF and LPSF by 37% and 8% respectively would not only eliminate negative externalities on the anchovy and mackerel stock respectively, but also mitigate emissions and emission costs in the fishing industry. To limit emissions, we propose that the Korean government reduce fishing efforts through a vessel-buyback program and set an annual catch limit. Alternatively, the government should provide loans for modernizing old fishing vessels or a subsidy for installing emission abatement equipment to reduce the excessive emissions from Korean fisheries.
