Abstract The present chapter provides a brief introduction to the holistic approach to ship design optimisation and its historical development. It defines the generic ship design optimisation problem for life cycle and discusses the implementation of the holistic approach to ship design on the basis of a typical ship design optimisation problem with multiple objectives and constraints, namely the design of an AFRAMAX tanker ship. Optimisation results show significantly improved designs with partly innovative features, increased cargo carrying capacity and transport efficiency, reduced required powering and fuel consumption and last but not least increased safety of the marine and aerial environment.
