Seakeeping Analysis of a Double Ended Ferry

Awareness of environmental protection is increasing, especially in recent years when warnings of imminent climate change have begun to appear in public space. In addition to one of the most significant environmental pollutants, global maritime transport is also mentioned, where environmental pollution is explicitly in the form of exhaust gases from marine propulsion engines. The trend of developing environmentally friendly, so-called “eco” ships is on the rise, primarily in the development of electric ferries designed to transport passengers and vehicles on short routes. This paper deals with a seakeeping analysis of a double ended ferry which is intended for sea route between Brestova and Porozina in the North Adriatic. The adopted dimensions and shape of the ship, the characteristics of sea waves for the adopted spectrum will be presented, and then the obtained results, considering the limits of the ship operability related to passenger comfort and cargo safety. The analysis was performed using computer software “Sesame HydroD”. A seakeeping estimation for the ferry is finally adopted and possible directions for future developments are proposed
