Present methods of ship motion prediction are applied to conditions leading to slamming in head seas; given wave length and height, and length, draft and speed of ship of normal design, possibility of emergence of forefoot can be predicted from graph; iterative procedure is described to estimate slamming force, acceleration, and pressure distribution on bottom of slamming ship.
