Ventura, M. and Guedes Soares, C. (2015), “Integration of a voyage model concept into a ship design optimization procedure”, Guedes Soares, C., Dejhalla, R. and Pavletić, D. (Eds.), Towards Green Marine Technology and Transport, Taylor & Francis Group, London, UK, pp. 539-550
The recent introduction of the EEDI, the increasing limitations on ship emissions and the growing number of emission control areas, brings additional complexity to the initial design of ships. This work expands a concept of voyage model, which intends to be a complement of the ship numeric model in optimization procedures to determine the optimum characteristics of the ship. First, the concept of voyage model is discussed, together with the associated data model and computation methodologies used. Next some developments are presented of the numeric model of the ship developed to improve the estimate of its load condition in the context of the energy efficiency and emissions evaluation. It is described the architecture of a prototype software tool implemented, for validation. Finally, a small application example is used to test the integration of the ship and voyage models, for their future usage in optimization procedures.
