Scope of Work for the Shipowner
- Development of Risk-Based Design specifications and platform optimization in accordance with new probabilistic rules for damage stability (SOLAS 2009), making it the world’s first ship built to these standards
- Hull form design and optimization for resistance and propulsion, utilizing advanced CFD tools alongside physical model testing
- Establishment of energy efficiency specifications, target setting for the yard, and energy balance assessments for the vessel
- Creation of 3D digital mock-ups for safety-critical areas
- Conducting risk assessments for selected installations and systems during normal operations and emergencies
- Performing survivability assessments through advanced time-domain flooding simulations
- Conducting passenger comfort studies on open deck areas using CFD tools
- Analyzing swimming pool dynamics
- Evaluating noise comfort levels on open deck areas in collaboration with BAE Systems
Project Features
Customer benefits developed in collaboration with the yard included:
- A compact and efficient overall configuration that adheres to new probabilistic damage stability regulations
- Enhanced hull and propulsion performance, leading to the lowest fuel consumption per tonnage or displacement
- Verification of design features to ensure compliance with operational targets
- Development of an innovative lifeboat position and configuration
