The theory and results of applying computer-aided ship structure optimization procedures to design of a new ferry for southwestern Alaska routes is presented, and is called SHIPOPT. It has been developed by Professor Owen Hughes of the University of New South Wales, Australia, and has had recent application by Giannotti and Associates Inc, to structural design of U.S. Navy ships. Ship optimization is a rationally based, interactive procedure which recognizes prescribed design constraints and optimizes within those constraints ship structural scantlings and geometry for strength, weight, and cost. The structural constraints typically considered are allowable shear and bending stresses, buckling loads, fatigue life, weight, and ship arrangements, based on commercial or regulatory body requirements.
