A study of the short term seakeeping performance of a set of fishing vessels is carried out. Assuming a fully developed sea state, linear transfer functions of hullforms are assessed using a standard strip theory method. Also from short term spectral responses, conditions at which they must operate to avoid hazards and seasickness can be readily identified. Each fishing vessel is studied over sea state 5 to 6 and has been evaluated at different Froude numbers and headings. The seakeeping performance is therefore determined by the limit of the couple: speed and heading angle, at which the vessel standard operational conditions for the most relevant performance criteria, related with the absolute motions, relative motions, accelerations, slamming, and green water on deck, are guaranteed.
