Powering and seakeeping forecasting for energy efficiency
Assessment of the fuel savings potential for weather routing by in-service data and ensemble prediction techniques
In this work an integration of high-resolution meteo-marine forecast data with detailed ship powering and seakeeping computational algorithms is investigated in order to asses the potential for the attainable fuel savings by weather routing algorithms along relatively short route

The integrated use of modern seakeeping and powering computational techniques and state of the art meteo-marine forecasting and hindcasting resources has the potential of disclosing new ways to approach some relevant issues, such as for instance operations planning at sea, weathe

Traditional engine-propeller matching techniques are mainly based on nondimensional parameters analysis: Thrust/advance coefficient or torque/advance coefficient ratio are the most used variables to assess the ship propulsion point or to match, at each selected ship speed, the se

The influence of wave profile on ship righting arm is among the possible stability failure issues addressed by the recent activity at IMO. The present paper is mainly focused on the so called "pure loss of stability", a dangerous phenomenon that can occur for specific conditions
