At Marine Design Consultancy, we recently completed the initial sizing of a 6-meter catamaran fishing boat designed for operations in the Persian Gulf. This vessel is tailored for a one-day endurance mission and boasts an impressive speed of 50 knots. With a displacement of 2.3 tons, it features two storage compartments, each with a capacity of 100 kg, making it ideal for fishing operations.
We used an Excel-based tool developed in-house by our skilled naval architects for the initial sizing process. This tool is based on the renowned UCL Daisy Ship Design Data Book and Procedure Book, which provides a comprehensive range of form parameters such as prismatic coefficient (Cp), midship coefficient (Cm), block coefficient (Cb), and length-to-beam ratio (L/B). These parameters form the baseline of the design, which is then fine-tuned through iterative methods
The design tool is divided into seven groups, each focusing on different aspects of the vessel:
- Hull
- Personnel
- Ship Systems
- Propulsion
- Electrical
- Payload
- Variable Data
This streamlined approach allows us to efficiently input data and customize designs according to specific project needs. Here’s a glimpse of the tool in action:
This innovative design is just one example of how our team at Marine Design Consultancy uses state-of-the-art tools and expertise in naval architecture and mechanical engineering to deliver high-performance vessels.
