Ship preliminary design optimization has been studied in two main areas, the models that allow the determination of the optimum characteristics and the optimization algorithms used. In this work, special relevance is given to the nonlinear optimization algorithms, with a focus in the evolutionary and directsearch methods. First, the results of a set of selected methods are compared using a simple bulk carrier ship model commonly used in the literature, next a new optimization process is proposed and is validated with the mentioned model.
