A ship is designed to serve specific requirements of her owner or a mission of an authority or society, disposing certain functional characteristics, specific hull form and powering, space and weight distribution, while demonstrating certain technical and economic performance.

    This book deals with the first phases of ship design, namely the basic design, which is often also known as preliminary design. The first chapter deals with basic definitions and characteristics of conventional ships and Advanced Marine Vehicles (AMVs); it compares the transport efficiency and environmental impact of conventional ships and AMVs with the performance of representatives of land and air transport vehicles; it provides a brief introduction to maritime transport and its relationship to innovative design concepts, to the energy efficiency and the environmental impact of ship operations; it introduces the main approaches to and the main phases of ship design; it defines the objectives of preliminary ship design; it comments on the main steps of the design procedure and their illustration by the design spiral; it includes a categorization of common ship types into main ship categories, enabling uniform approaches to their design; finally, after introducing the main ship types, it elaborates on alternative methods for determining ship’s main dimensions and other basic ship design characteristics.
