Thanks for looking into our challenge! STENA is always looking for ways to be more environmentally
conscious, and one way to do that is to reduce emissions.
The challenge here is to be more sustainable by designing a ship’s hull form to be less resistant in the water,
and thus reducing our consumption of energy and reducing our emissions to the atmosphere.

Larry V the calculations are required for your submission. If you send in a model without it, the model
most likely will not be considered.

Are there any specific measures to be considered? (width, length, how deep it's supposed to go...)
Also, to those who do not have access to fluid dynamics software, I recommend Autodesk Flow
Design, it's free and easy o use; will not give you any specifics as its not designed for boats but with
the Cd and watching the airflow you'll get a good idea.
Nicolas Marc has uploaded 64 CAD models & has left 933 comments.
6,5m max draft, single hull, RoRo cargo, no ice requirement and short international voyage.

"The goal of this challenge is to design a hull form with 16,000 tons of displacement". I don't
understand with term 16,000 tons displacement. Please clear my doubt anyone.

Not a bad way of conning people to do all the hard work for a measly $15k. don't Stena employ ships
archetects anymore. and who the hell is going to do all the calcs and hard work for $5k?

Maybe they are looking for new calculation methods, besides it's not that hard to do some calculations.
Either-way i'll wait a while before i submit my entries.
Probably just looking for ideas for the hull, to get a basic shape and then get a well-paid team to fully
develop it...
