DESIGN OF CATAMARAN 15M HIGH SPEED CRAFT

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to design and analyze the preliminary design of high-speed craft. High-speed craft is a high demand in the maritime industry, for example, in the operation of offshore structure maintenance, for search and rescue, for patrol operations, or as vibrant to deliver speed. The study is designed to create a 15 meters high-speed craft, catamaran type. Besides, this study is also to evaluates the resistance of the high-speed craft as well as to achieve maximum speed at 35 knots based on owner requirement. The sequence process will be based on the design circle but only focuses on the initial design stage which includes, First, the development of the hull form which uses the type of catamaran. Second, hydro static analysis by designing a waterline of 1 meter. Third, ship structure using DNVGL classification of rule. Fourth, the power of ship which the maximum speed of the ship is 35 knots. Fifth, the weight estimates on all parts of the vessel, i.e. hull, superstructure, equipment, complement, structure, and tank. Sixth, stability analysis on intact and damage using HSC 2000 code classification of rule. Seventh, general arrangement. The result of design and analysis can be the first step in supporting the Malaysian shipbuilding industry by introducing original local designs, this study is very important to continue. This study is mainly to be initial step as a future designer to join the ship design industries. This study would take the ship design spiral process as a fundamental knowledge to start and end designing a ship which covers until detail design phase.
