Fonseca, H. Ralchey and C. Guedes Soares Unit of Marine Technology and Engineering, Technical University of Lisbon, Instituto Superior Técnico, Av. Rovisco Pais, 1096 Lisboa, Portugal ABSTRACT ‘The paper presents a methodology to calculate the seakeeping performance of ships. The results depend on the geometric and inertial characteristics of the ship, the ocean area of ‘operation and some defined seakeeping criteria, ‘An application example to a monohull is presented. The procedure follows several steps, starting ‘withthe ealculation ofthe ship motions transfer functions and some related variables, Next, the ship responses to wtegular seas are calculated ting the spectral analysis.

However the effects of waves degrades ths lity to carry out the mission comparatively to the calm water condition. In fact there are many Stuations during, which the working conditions on board ‘become very difficult due to large amplitude motions and accelerations There are methods available to predict the ‘Motions and accelerations on ships induced by ‘waves, Defining acceptable limits of operation, then the seakeeping quality of a ship operating in an ocean area and wath a specific mission can be quantified. In the present work the seakeeping quality will be quantified by an operability index Which measures the degradation of the ship ability 10 carry out its mission comparatively 10 the calm water condition, Basically this index accounts for +The ship mission, though the use of seakeepingcrtera which represen accepable ina fap
