Abstract Maritime transport in its history after two world wars has developed an increasing significance in securing our welfare and prosperity in a global world. At the same time, the world has become aware of growing risks involved in marine transport technology by a number of shipping disasters, catastrophic losses and damages to the maritime environment. The maritime community has responded to these challenges by intensified research and developments. New ship types, new design methodologies and tightened safety standards and regulations have been introduced and are in further development. This chapter deals with the driving forces in this new situation and describes new achievements and current trends in the methodologies of ship design for safer, cleaner and more economical ships.
