Commission for the Ship Owner
- Development of Risk-Based Design specifications and platform optimization based on new probabilistic rules for damage stability (SOLAS 2009), making it the world’s first ship designed to these specifications
- Hull form design and optimization for resistance and propulsion using advanced CFD tools in combination with physical model tests
- Development of energy efficiency specifications, target setting for the yard, and energy balance for the vessel
- Creation of 3D digital mock-ups for safety-critical spaces
- Risk assessment for selected installations and systems for normal operations and emergencies
- Survivability assessment using advanced time-domain flooding simulations
- Open deck passenger comfort studies using CFD tools
- Swimming pool dynamic analysis
- Open deck noise comfort analysis in association with BAE Systems
Project Features
Customer benefits developed together with the yard included:
- Compact, efficient overall configuration based on new probabilistic damage stability regulations
- Improved hull and propulsion performance, resulting in the lowest fuel consumption per tonnage or displacement
- Verification of design features to meet operational targets
- Development of a novel lifeboat position and configuration
