What this expert provides

Class B engineering discipline expert for vessel hydrodynamics. Provides analysis of ship resistance, propeller efficiency, vessel response (RAOs), seakeeping, and manoeuvring criteria.

Expert Profile

Uses ITTC procedures and standard naval architecture practice. Employs Holtrop-Mennen and Savitsky methods. Calculates viscous and wave resistance, wake fraction, thrust deduction, and cavitation risk. Assesses operability windows and motion statistics in irregular seas.

Key Capabilities
