The present paper describes the program, the procedure and the instrumentation for carrying out sea trials on a Surface Effect Ship (SES) at full scale, within the BRITE-EURAM II projects 'HYDROSES' and MATSTRUTSES'. The main objective of the experimental investigation was the validation of computer codes and model tests developed within the same project, for the prediction of calm water performance, vessel motions and structural loads. The paper gives a summary description of a SES rented and investigated in the Lygurian Sea on March 1995, for the project purpose, then a description of the equipment and test procedures aimed at the complete characterisation of the performance at sea of the vessel. An acquisition system has been designed and experienced to provide real time analysis and correlate vessel motions, structural loads and environmental conditions. A comprehensive analysis of performance has been recently completed to assess the vessel capability of operating in rough waters: the results obtained have shown that the interest in the SES concept for short and fast transportation at sea is justified by its excellent seakeeping response.
