In competitive times such as these,

only the fittest survive.
And fitness these days is defined by efficiency.
Are you going to be among the long-term
survivors?

Marine Vehicles Speed Evolutions

Need for increasing speeds.
New generations of ships are often faster
than the ones they replace.
New technologies are introduced in order to
make the speed increase possible.

CHARACTERISTICS AND RELATIVE MERITS OF ADVANCED

MARINE VEHICLE TYPES

Increasing the
speed and
improving the
seakeeping
behaviour of a
conventional
displacement ship
is only possible to
a certain extent.

Due to ship motion a system of waves is generated and moves

with the ship.
These looks like

Power

At this Froude number value

wave resistance increases with
a relatively high power of the
ship speed.

Speed

Above this boundary (speed

corresponding to 0.4 Froude
Number)
1. the necessary power will
increase disproportionately
with the ship speed.
2. The seakeeping behaviour
will also worsen with the
speed due to high wave
forces and critical impact
forces.

Conclusion:
1. If the displacement volume is located either above or below
the free surface, the wavemaking resistance , will be low.
2. Additionally the wave forces on the hull, therefore ship
motions, will be low if the hull is outside of the range of the
surface waves.
This is the key issue for the design of most promising AMV
types.
