In present work, the application of previously developed semiempirical regression formulae for the prediction of fast twin screw ships manoeuvrability is shown, considering the test case of the 5415 naval ship. Results in terms of standard manoeuvres macroscopic parameters and also of forces in PMM-like tests are reported, showing the...

In present work, a simplified methodology able to provide a sufficiently accurate assessment of wave drift forces is presented, with the aim of providing a procedure which may be applied in the preliminary stages of the design, when the technical data of the ship (such as the hull forms) are not yet available, and only main hull parameters are...
