After the energy crisis in 1973 and the resultant price hikes, strong demands were made to cut down on the oil consumption of ships. The second energy crisis in 1978 made saving energy the first priority in the design and operation of ships. There are two important aspects to saving energy when designing of ships. The first is how to decide the principal dimensions of ships in the case of high fuel price, and the other important factor regards reduction of necessary power for ships. As a result of a series of designs, when the fuel price will further increase, an optimum design point for bulk carriers and tankers will fall on larger L/B with a-little smaller Cb than the designs presently used. And besides various measures to reduce power which have put aside will be technically and economically evaluated.
