The present State of the Art report aims at defining and reviewing the curent state of the ship design process in the frame of a holistic approach, accounting for various objectives and constraints. The report addresses mainly the design of transportation carriers, though some covered aspects are also relevant to other ship types and floating devices.
Design for X is herein defined as the optimization of a ship with respect to specific important performance indicators and properties, like design for safety, design for efficiency, design for arctic operations and design for production. The concept of Design for Safety was introduced and briefly demonstrated on the basis of the design of the largest cruise vessel ever built.
The Design for Efficiency of Performance was revieved with particular emphasis on recent discussions about fuel savings and the reduction of air emissions in maritime transport. Developments in the Design of ships for Arctic Operations were presented, responding to recent increased maritime transport needs in arctic areas.
Finally, recent developemnts in the design for Production were presented, which is critical to achieving globally competitive shipbuilding business.
