INTRODUCTION

1. Introduction
1.1. Luxury Cruise Vessel
A cruise ship is an opulent boat that is designed to transport

passengers on leisurely journeys where the journey itself is just as important as
the numerous locations along the way. A cruise ship, or cruise liner as it is
commonly known, transports passengers on round trips that can range in length
from one day to possibly a week and end at the port of embarkation, as opposed
to an ocean liner which transports passengers from one point on the globe to the
other frequently across oceans. This is a very revitalising form of fun and
amusement that greatly renews energy and calms the mind. Wonder of the Seas
is an Oasis-class cruise ship owned and operated by Royal Caribbean
International. It is a recently built ship in the year 2022 having a passenger
capacity of around 5800.
Figure 1-1: Royal Caribbean's

Cruise - Wonders of The Sea
1.2. History and Concept of Cruise Vessels
The period from 1800 to the Second World War saw an increase in
ships with regular routes. This was a result of trade between Europe and the
colonies in the east and west, and the increase in the number of immigrants to
the Americas. These vessels initially carried cargo and passengers, but their
main concern was the amount of cargo they could carry. In 1818, The Black
Ball Line of New York was the first shipping company to offer regular routes
from the United States to England, considering its passengers’ comfort. Then, in
the 1830s, steamships were introduced which dominated the transatlantic mail
and passenger transport market. On July 4, 1840, Britannia, Cunard's first ship,
left Liverpool
Page | 6
with a cow onboard to cater for the supply of fresh milk to its passengers during
the 14-day voyage across the Atlantic. The emergence of leisure cruises started
in the year 1844, which marked the emergence of a new industry.
Figure 1-2:Prinzessin Victoria Luise was the

first purpose-built cruise ship
At the beginning of the 1920s, the concept of "superliners"

emerged. Germany led the market in the development of huge "floating hotels".
The design of these ships tried to minimize the discomfort of ocean travel as
much as possible through elegant accommodations, passenger amenities, and
planned activities.
The First World War interrupted the construction of new ships,
converting the oldest ships into troop-carrying ships. The same happened during
the Second War during which all transatlantic travels ceased. The increase in air
travel and the first non-stop flight to Europe in 1958 marked the end of the
transatlantic market. The shipping companies went bankrupt for lack of business
and the ships were sold.
The 1960s marked the beginning of the modern cruise industry.
The companies focused on cruise holidays and created the concept of a “fun
ship”. Today, hundreds of cruise ships, some carrying more than 5000
passengers cruise around the world. For some destinations such as the Arctic
and Antarctica cruise ships are practicing the only means of visiting. The cruise
is now considered as one of the most popular types of vacation. Since 2004, tens
of millions of people have been cruising to all sorts of places from the
Caribbean to Europe to Alaska.

1.3. Types of Cruise Ship
The different types of cruise ships that are designed to provide

cruise and excursion services in seas, oceans, rivers and lakes all around the
world
1.3.1. Mainstream Cruise Ship
It is the most prevalent and well-known type of cruise ship, and the
majority of companies in the industry sell them as floating resorts that are
furnished to accommodate the needs of most cruise passengers. These ships can
accommodate between 850 and 3,000 passengers and feature all the typical
resort facilities, services, and amenities, including dining establishments, bars
and pubs, nightclubs and discos, shopping areas, theatres and movie theatres,
galleries and museums, libraries, casinos, spas and fitness centres, swimming
pools, and other sporting venues.
Figure 1-3: Carnival Cruise Line, A Mainstream Cruise ship
1.3.2. Mega Cruise Ship
The demand for these services is growing globally, and cruise

firms have responded by designing and constructing ever-larger cruise ships that
can carry more than 3,000 passengers. With some units frequently serving more
than 5,000 passengers, mega ships are a new kind of cruise ship and the next
step in terms of capacity and onboard amenities. They are currently the largest
and most technologically advanced boats in the world.
Page | 8
Figure 1-4: Harmony of The Seas, A Mega Cruise Ship
1.3.3. Ocean Cruise Ship
A specific kind of cruise ship constructed to higher standards than

more traditional ships, with notably more sturdy architecture and construction to
survive the very challenging circumstances of ocean voyages on lengthy and
global excursions.
Figure 1-5: Viking Sea, An Ocean Cruise Ship
1.3.4. Luxury Cruise Ship
Motor or sail powered cruise ships equipped with the most

sophisticated and technologically advanced nautical systems, high standard
features and luxurious comforts to meet the special demands of an exclusive
Page | 9
client looking for longer itineraries and more exotic destinations around the
world.
Figure 1-6: Seven Seas Explorer, A Luxury Cruise Vessel
1.3.5. Small Cruise Ship
Cruise ships that range in size from motor or sail-powered yacht-

like vessels to medium-sized classic cruise ships with a capacity of up to a few
hundred passengers onboard, providing more intimate and relaxing experiences
than the larger mass-market vessels in less well-known destinations, designed to
provide specific services (ecotourism, culture or history cruises, conventions at
sea, sea sports, single cruises, senior cruises, business incentive cruises, etc.), or
as the only way to travel to certain destinations.
Figure 1-7: Windstar Cruises, A Small Cruise Ship
Page |
1.3.6. Adventure Cruise Ship
Cruise ships designed and equipped to provide services that include

visits of remote destinations, most commonly out-of-the-way or inaccessible to
larger vessels. Marketed to a very specific sector of clientele, adventure cruise
ships are far smaller than mainstream vessels, usually sail powered and
generally equipped with luxury features.
Figure 1-8: An Adventure Cruise Ship
1.3.7. Expedition Cruise Vessel
Specially designed ships, or modified research or icebreaker

vessels, operated by specialised companies to provide their customers with an
exclusive experience in remote locations and waterways, such as the Arctic and
Antarctic regions or coastal areas in ecological and biosphere reserves, in what
can be seen as more than private expeditions than conventional cruises onboard
vessels with an adequate level of comfort, safety, and services, which include
inflatable motor boats and, sometimes, even helicopters for expedition trips and
shore landings.
Page |
Figure 1-9: Seabourn Venture, An Expedition Cruise Vessel
1.3.8. River Cruise Ship
Always smaller than seagoing cruise ships, and with a capacity for
no more than a few hundred passengers, these vessels are specially designed to
navigate rivers and inland waterways, offering from exciting experiences
onboard ultra-high-tech units, to nostalgic trips on paddleboats ships in rivers
such as Amazon, Nile, Rhine, Siene, Volga, Mississippi, Yangtse, and many
more in all the world.
Figure 1-10: Viking Mississippi, A River Cruise Ship
1.4. Classification Of Cruise Ships
The classification of cruise ships have been done on the basis of

Gross registered Tonnage and their Passenger Capacity.
Page |
Size Gross registered Passenger Capacity

Tonnage
Very small Under 10,000 Not exceeding 200
Small 10,000 – 20,000 200 - 500
Medium 20,000 – 50,000 500 - 1200
Large 50,000 – 70,000 1200 - 2000
Megaship More than 70,000 More than 2000
Table 1-1: Classification of Cruise Ships
1.5. Motivation and Potential
The demand for cruise vessels has grown dramatically over the
past few years. The total number of passengers carried on a cruise worldwide
was 1,84,21,000 in 2010 and has increased to 2,60,00,000 in the three quarters
of 2018.
Besides this recurrent increase, we can still cite catalysis for this growth.
Among the passengers around the globe, the most cruises have been to the
Caribbean & US, and Europe. But the industry in those countries has reached a
level of saturation by the second quarter of 2015 and cruise ship operators have
started operations in other parts of the world more frequently than it was before,
which includes, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Macau, Dubai, and India,
including the Queen of Arabian Sea-Cochin. Also, the tourism sector of the
aforementioned places has seen a tremendous boom. The cruise vessels also
serve as a stay for tourists.
Page |
Figure 1-11:Growth of Worldwide Passengers
1.6. Design Criteria
It takes a lot of work to design a cruise ship, and while it doesn't

have the same working machinery as a cargo ship, it does have a variety of
systems for the pleasure and enjoyment of the passengers. In light of this, the
availability of capacity for the aforementioned systems is a vital component of
cruise ship design. If the end product is to be a safe, seaworthy, and
"entertaining" ship, a lot of factors must be taken into account during the design
stage, including:
 A cruise vessel will have more decks in the superstructure than any vessel,
which comprises all the accommodation modules and amenities for the
passengers.
 The stability of cruise ships is very crucial, though a high margin cannot be
given because that will make a very stiff ship, which affects the comfort of
the passengers.
 The extent of amenities needed has a huge influence on the design of the
vessel. It is true to say that no two cruise vessels will be the same even if it
has the same no. of passenger capacity. While some may share a similar hull
form, it is highly unlikely that they have the same amenities on board.
Page |
The route, thereby the length of the cruise has also a major effect
on the design of a cruise vessel. Depending on the length of the cruise, more
provisions and stores are to be provided which adds to the volume consumed
inside the vessel. Hence, cruise ships are characterized by, vessels with a greater
number of decks and high GRT and comparatively less displacement and
thereby draft.
An additional important requirement is the safety regulations of
Passenger Ships by International Statutory bodies which encompass not only
Stability but fire protection and in recent times there have been major research
in the Escape route analysis of the vessels. This is especially important for
“taller” cruise vessels with more no. of passengers
1.7. Objective
This project aims to design a cruise vessel to accommodate 500

passengers and the required crew and staff. The ship should be self-sustained for
all the entertainment facilities and amenities onboard
Speed – 25knots
Length – 140m approx.
1.8. Selection of Classification Society
A Classification Society is highly preferred for a Passenger ship,

though a class is not a mandate. A classed vessel will ensure the vessel's safety
and seaworthiness, giving the passengers a symbol of trust or more than that
credibility for the insuring agent which ensures passenger ships carry the most
valuable resource in the world: Humans.
The vessel operators and owners build and maintain the vessel in
service of the classification society for insurance, mortgage, and marketing
purposes.
The following classification societies are found to be well experienced in Cruise
vessels (Passenger Vessel)
Registro Italino Navale (RINA)
Bureau Veritas (BV)
Lloyd’s Register (LR)
Det Norske Veritas-Germanischer Lloyd (DNV-GL)
Page |
For this design project, the vessel is intended to be classed with LR class.

1.10. Port Characteristics
1.10.1. Cochin International Cruise Terminal
Cruises are viewed as a significant business opportunity by Cochin

Port. We are dedicated to creating Cochin Port a top cruise destination on the
Indian subcontinent that offers services of the highest calibre. Annual calls to
Cochin Port are made by significant cruise lines such as Cunard Lines, Royal
Caribbean Lines, Aida Cruises, Costa Cruises, etc.
Page |
Figure 1-15: Cochin International Cruise Terminal
Two specific cruise terminals are available at Cochin Port:

"SAMUDRIKA" at BTP and "SAGARIKA" at Ernakulam Wharf. Both
terminals are cutting-edge, completely air-conditioned "Cruise Passenger
Facilitation Centres," which provide all legislative approvals for cruise
passengers under one roof, including immigration and customs. For cruise ships
passing through India, the Indian government has loosened cabotage laws,
making it easier to transfer Indians from one Indian port to another.
Length – 250m
Draft – 10m
1.10.2. Mumbai International Cruise Terminal
The terminal is situated at Ballard Pier (BPX) within 5-10 minutes

driving distance from the Taj Mahal Hotel, Museum, Art galleries, CBD of
Fort, Colaba Causeway, Nariman Point and Marine Drive. The Cruise Terminal
has check- in baggage handling facilities, a lounge, duty-free shop, curios, and
handicraft stalls and toilets etc. Features: Dedicated Cruise Terminal at BPX

MAIN DIMENSION
FIXING

2. Fixing Main Dimension
2.1. Luxury Cruise Ship Design
The luxury cruise ship is a leisure vessel, and as such, it always

strives to provide the passengers with the utmost comfort through its diverse
attractions including theatres, cinemas, shops, restaurants, nightclubs, casinos,
swimming pools, and spas, among other forms of amusement. The cruise liner
becomes more of a fantasy than a mode of transportation. People of all ages and
all classes like glamorous vacations filled with great luxury and pampering.
Although they frequently don't care where they go on their trips, they eventually
settle into this "resort" on the high seas.
People will spend days on board this ship, thus comfort is a top
priority. Therefore, it is crucial that an ideal stability condition be sought during
the design process in order to reduce the vessel's roll movement. Stabilizers are
common on cruise ships to lessen this movement. The exterior aesthetics and
the internal decorating of these boats are additional distinguishing features. All
cruise lines strive to provide customers with ships that are elegantly decorated
and have a welcoming exterior.
Therefore, a cruise vessel is distinguished by its internal decoration
and general arrangement, as well as the external aesthetics.
Figure 2-1: An Aesthetic Cruise Ship
Page |
2.2. Functions Of Cruise Ship
A cruise ship must satisfy both the hotel functions and ship
functions as follows:
Figure 2-2: Functions of a cruise vessel
2.2.1. Hotel Functions
The amenities of a hotel include passenger cabins, restaurants,

lounges, and bars. Spaces like corridors, halls, elevators, and staircases should
be given as appropriate passageways. Other crucial characteristics are open
areas. Offices, galleries, pantries, laundries, and stores are necessary for service
functions. Room service, housekeeping, and crew cabins are additional hotel
services. Service staff on cruise ships have their own runners and ladders since
only uniformed crew members are permitted to ride in guest areas.
Page |
2.2.2. Ship Functions
The Ship functions are responsible for taking the aforementioned

“Hotel Functions” safely from port to port. The propulsive machinery and fuel
storage tanks are vital systems. The Ship produces electricity, air conditioning,
hot and cold water, has sewage and garbage systems.
2.3. Sizing of Luxury Cruise Ship
Function of a cruise ship is to transport passengers with maximum
comfort and safety. It is determined by the amenities owner wishes to provide
for its passengers. This makes cruise ship, a “Volume Carrier”, that is, it is
meant to carry light cargo. Volume becomes the critical criterion when the
cargo to be carried is light. Thereby, Volume, Deck area, Linear Dimensions
and Stability is very critical for a cruise ship.
It can be said that main drivers for the sizing of hull are:
 Deck Area
 Stability and Sea Keeping Performance
 Capacity for required endurance
2.3.1. Deck Area
The cruise ship hulls should have enough deck space for all the
facilities that are intended to be offered on board. If the required deck area is not
reached, the number of decks must be raised, which has an impact on the ship's
stability and seakeeping abilities. Therefore, without sacrificing stability, the
linear size, number of decks, and available deck area must all be balanced
throughout the design phase.
2.3.2. Stability and Sea Keeping Performance
In high seas, stability and good seakeeping qualities are crucial to

ensuring passenger comfort and safety. Size, form, and weight distribution of
the vessel all affect stability and seakeeping. Based on past experience, it is
generally expected that conventional hull forms will provide good motion
characteristics for maximum comfort. A detailed analysis of the motion
characteristics of small or unique hull forms is necessary during the design
phase.
2.3.3. Capacity for required endurance
Page |
The volume should be sufficient to hold all the supplies and fuel
needed for the intended duration of the voyage. This volume requirement is
equally crucial to amenities' volume requirements.
2.4. Mission Requirements
The following conclusions can be considered and fixed as the

mission requirements for this design.
 The required deck area is based on the amenities intended to provide
onboard. 450 passengers are intended to be carried along with a crew of
300 members. The amenities are drawn from the owner’s specification
 The required hull volume is thus obtained from the required deck space.
For such medium size vessels, if the requirement of deck area is met, the
volume will be well enough for buoyancy.
 The inside hull volume will also be enough for an intended endurance of
7days.
2.5. Main Dimension Fixing
The process of deciding main dimensions during initial design

phase is an iterative one. At and after each stage of the process, checks are
carried out to ensure that the vessel will meet all the specified design
requirements. To derive the main dimensions of the vessels, the concepts that
are already known and widely used are employed. These are from:
 Evan’s Design Spiral
 Practical Ship Design
 Parent Ship Analysis
 Quality Function Deployment (QFD)
 System Based Design
2.6. Evan’s Design Spiral
The Design Spiral is a systematic approach to achieving near

perfect designs for a given ship design problem. A naval architect traces his way
along the design spiral through the different stages of design given below:
 Concept design
 Preliminary design
 Contract design
Page |
 Detailed design
As we move along the spiral into its core, we move from a zone of
less information to extremely specific instruction for the construction of ship or
in other words- "Realization of the design into a product". This project deals
with the concept design stage of a vessel and also preliminary design stage to a
limit.
Figure 2-3: Evan's Design Spiral
The Concept Design stage is where the mission requirements are

translated into characteristics of naval architecture and engineering. Feasibility
studies are conducted using the basic ship components, such as length, beam,
depth, draught, fullness, power, or alternate sets of characteristics, all of which
match the specifications for speed, range, and deadweight. Estimating the
weight of light ships is also done. This stage involves evaluating alternative
designs to find the best cost-effective design option.
The primary ship parameters that affect cost and performance are
essentially improved and elaborated during the Preliminary Design stage. After
this stage is finished, it is unlikely that variables like length, beam, horsepower,
and deadweight will alter. Additionally, it serves as a foundation for the creation
of contract plans and specifications.
Page |
2.7. Practical Ship Design
In his book, Watson et al. states that the design of Volume based
carriers poses two different problems. In the first of these the required capacity
is known and the problem is that of finding a solution to the volume equations,
whilst in the second, the problem lies in establishing the required volume. These
refers to volume carriers in general, and in his 1976 paper, there has been
graphs from which dimensions of ship corresponding to required capacity could
be read. But it is obvious that, the graph has been left behind by a further
growth in ship size and indeed this now deters any attempt at a new plot because
the scale required to accommodate the largest ships is so small that the
information it would supply would be almost useless for smaller vessels.
The book further gives different guidance to estimate the volume
required in Volume Carriers. Furthermore, in the 1976 paper, Watson et al.
further suggests that, the next step should be the division of the total volume
into a main hull volume and a superstructure volume and that this should be
done by assuming that the superstructure volume was a certain percentage of the
total volume.
However, a very small change in the design of a ship can make a

very major change in this percentage. To overcome this difficulty, it is
suggested that the percentage should be derived from a suitable basis ship. If
suitable data is not available a reasonable first approximation might assume that
the superstructure will provide 25% of the total volume. A ship of this sort will
have a relatively high uppermost continuous deck and the minimum of
erections. A ship thus designed will require a greater number of iterations to
reach optimum value of number of decks and linear dimensions.

Table 2-1: Parent Ship Analysis
2.8.1. Regression Analysis
From the above table, regression calculations are done, to find the
relation between various ratios either with the number of passengers or with
gross tonnage. Furthermore, the dimensions are so scattered based on the
amenities, not even a relation between the number of passengers and gross
tonnage could be drawn out.
Detailed regression calculations have been done. Following table
shows the regression summary of various ratios with number of passengers as
well as Gross Tonnage. The table shows values of R 2 of various regression
calculation with different parameters.
Page |
For obtaining results within permissible results from regression, the

R value must be at least greater than 0.8, higher the value, the better. However,
2
in this case, only 6 unrelated cases have an R2 value greater than 0.6.

Table 2-2: Regression Analysis
Therefore, it can be concluded that, parent ship analysis can’t be directly used
for fixing the main dimensions, but can be referred to for a range of values.
2.9. System Based Design
Evan's Design Spiral, which captures the sequential and iterative

nature of the process, is the most frequently used metaphor for describing ship
design, as was mentioned in the previous section. The conclusion reached was
that the present design ideologies do not trust this spiral. The Naval Architect
will have to patch and mend that first concept rather than exploring other
options because the Evan's model ties the Naval Architect to the basic
assumptions. The traditional design spiral is straightened by to address this
issue. The number of loops till final design is reduced by categorising the needs
into musts and wishes. The QFD aids in classifying the needs into musts and
wants. The revised design spiral is depicted in Figure 2.4 below.
A tool for design in the conceptual stage is system-based design.
The general layout is produced early in the process, which does not need the
choice of the ship's primary proportions. The hotel and ship functions are
specified, and the necessary deck space and volume are computed for each of
them as indicated in the table. The number of cabins and their sizes give us the
area needed for passenger cabins. Based on the number of seats and the amount
of space required for each, restaurants and lounges are estimated. The height
between decks is used to determine the volumes. The gross height from steel to
steel is used.

2.9.2. System Summary
The areas and volumes of all such systems are summarised in

Table below. When that is done, the initial sizing of the ship is defined. The
total volume in cubic meters given by the system description is translated into
Gross Tonnage by the following formula:
𝐺𝑇=(0.2+0.02∗𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑉) ∗𝑉, Where V is the total enclosed spaces (m3).

Table 2-6: Volume and Gross Tonnage Calculation
2.9.3. Space Ratio
When you board a cruise ship, one of the crucial factors affecting
your enjoyment while onboard is how spacious the vessel feels. As you re likely
going to be there for a while, you will have a view on how much personal space
you enjoy. Some folks call this ‘elbow room’. By definition, gross tonnage is
the measurement of a ship’s internal volume, that is, its overall interior space.
The measurement is, broadly, the capacity in cubic feet of the

spaces within the hull and of the enclosed spaces above the deck available for
cargo, stores, passengers and crew, with certain exceptions, divided by 100.
Thus 100 cubic feet of capacity is equivalent to one gross ton. It is easy to
calculate and get a feel for how crowded you might feel on a particular class of
ship. It is the simple ratio between the size of the vessel Gross Tonnage divided
by the number of passengers. Gross Tonnage (GT) is the number used for all
ships built after 18th July 1982.The resulting magic number is called the
Passenger to Space Ratio. As a rough guide, the Passenger-to-space Ratio bands
are as follows:
Page |
 51 and Above – Very Spacious Ships

 31-50 – Spacious
 21-30 – Not so spacious
 20 and under – Expect cramped conditions
Passenger Space Ratio = Gross Tonnage (GT)/Number of passengers
Passenger Space Ratio = 28203.688/450 = 63(Very Spacious Ships)

2.10. Preliminary General Arrangement
The estimation of main dimensions was found to be too much

scattered in the parent ship analysis. The regression analysis done for various
parameters with Gross Tonnage and PAX. The results obtained where not
satisfactory as there were only 3 values greater than 0.8. Hence to obtain a brief
knowledge about fixing the dimensions, a preliminary general arrangement is
drawn. Here all the amenities are fixed according to the owners’ requirements.
The dimensions of all the amenities have been in accordance with those of the
parent ships with similar requirements.
Page |
Figure 2-5: Preliminary General Arrangement
After fixing the dimensions of the amenities a preliminary general

arrangement was prepared. The dimensions which were obtained from the
general arrangement are as follows:
Length :- 198.4971 Breadth:- 27.1044
Page |
A conclusion cannot be drawn from the obtained dimension as these

are those values obtained when the amenities where distributed in various decks.
2.11. Selecting Main Dimensions
A particular conclusion couldn’t be drawn from the preliminary

general arrangement. Here the statistics of an already built ship was compared
and the values where in accordance with the requirements. For the design of
luxury cruise vessel, the key factor is the deck area. The easiest way of
increasing the area is to add the number of decks on the top of the vessel. But
this is a hindrance to the stability of the vessel, hence this limitation should be
taken into consideration.
The main dimensions of the vessel are thus interpolated from
already built ships having the similar requirements. These were interpolated in
reference to the gross tonnage. Gross Tonnage obtained from the preliminary
general arrangement was taken as the input value for obtaining results of length,
breadth and draught. The graph obtained after interpolation are as follows.
Figure 2-6: Length Interpolation
Page |
Figure 2-7: Breadth Interpolation
Figure 2-8: Draught Interpolation
Page |
The values hence obtained from interpolation are as follows:

Length: - 198.6m
Breadth: - 25m
Draught: - 6.5m
2.12. Preliminary Power Estimation
The preliminary power estimation is done on the basis of the parent

ship analysis. Vessels similar to the above mention dimensions where
considered. Analysis was done from the Power v/s Gross Tonnage graph where
the current gross tonnage gave a power output in the range of 20000 -22000kW.
Figure 2-9: Gross Tonnage v/s Power
2.13. Preliminary Selection of Main and Auxiliary Engine
The range of power output was obtained from figure 2.9.

Comparison was done with parent ships having the same power and a study was
carried out on their engines and their specifications. The main engine selected
for this design is Diesel/electric: Wartsila type 12V32 - 12-cylinder
combustion engines. Four engines of the same are required to obtain the
required power output.

Figure 2-10: Engine Specifications

Figure 2-11:Wartsila 12V32 Bore Engine
2.14. Lightship and Deadweight
The first weight estimate can be based on the system description.

The lightweight calculation in the concept design phase is based on 6 to 10 main
groups. As the design process proceeds and more information becomes
available, each main group is further divided into sub groups and sub-sub
groups. The weight calculation must be based on statistical data from built ships
to give the necessary accuracy. The steel weight of the hull and superstructure
are calculated based on their volume. Interior outfitting is based on furnished
area. For ship outfitting the total volume is used and for machinery the installed
power is used.
The deadweight calculation is based on the demanded payload and
performance. The passenger and crew height is normally taken as 100kg per
person. Provision had stores depend on the number of persons and the length of
the cruise. Fresh water and sewage is calculated in the same way. In cruise ships
fresh water is produced onboard by evaporating seawater, so all the fresh water
consumed during the trip need not be included in the deadweight. Similarly,
Page |
sewage is treated and discharged overboard at sea, but it must be stored during
port stops. Fuel and lubricating oil stores are based on the length of the route,
the average speed and the specific consumption of the installed engines and
refuelling policy.

Using the general arrangement drawing, the outline of the decks was used to
create a model in Rhinoceros 2021 keeping a uniform deck height of 2.8m. The
obtained model was then imported to MAXSURF Modeller to get the
preliminary lines of the particular hull form.

The resistance check was carried out using Gulhammer Harvald’s

method. All the basic requirement tests like Froude number, L/B ratio, Block
Coefficient, Slenderness ratio were initially checked and the obtained values
came under the permissible range. The total resistance at maximum speed of
25knots came out to be 1993.51kN. The power required hence calculated was
25636.61kW.
Total resistance – 1993.51kN
Power Required – 25636.61 kW

The initial power calculation from the graph of Gross Tonnage v/s
Power value came out to be 27840kW. Hence the preliminary resistance check
is satisfied as the difference is only a small value which can be neglected. The
calculation part of the resistance check has been attached in Appendix.

3. HULL GEOMETRY
3.1. Overview
In this chapter the modelling of the hull and the generation of the
lines of the design has been explained. This will be a step for the stability
calculations in the upcoming sections. The following steps were followed for
the final construction of the model.
Step 1: The initial step of modelling is by importing the preliminary general
arrangement to Rhinoceroses 2021 software.
Figure 3-1: General Arrangement in RHINO
Step 2: The basic hull has been developed from the preliminary general
arrangement by arranging the decks one above the other and then lofting the
surface to obtain the complete model. The modelling was done in Rhinoceros
2021. Decks from 6 to 2 where selected for the hull development. A bulbous
was added using the Orca 3D plugin.
Figure 3-2: RHINO model from General Arrangement
Page |
Step 3: The obtained model was transformed into the required model with
the dimensions as well particulars meeting the same as those were calculated in
the previous chapter. For this there was some changes done in the transom and
the obtained model is shown below in Figure 3-2. These changes where done
using the Orca 3D plugin.
Figure 3-3: Parametric Transformation in Orca 3D
Ship Hull Assistant in Orca 3D is used for the parametric

transformation. Here the proper dimensions of the bulbous bow, required hull
form shape etc were given as the inputs and the final model with the required
parameters and owners requirements were obtained. The final model is show
below in Figure 3-4.
Figure 3-4: Final Model in RHINO
Page |
Step 4: The hull model made in Rhino was then exported and then used in
Maxsurf Modeller for further changes. Fig 3-5 shows the model when imported
to Maxsurf.
Figure 3-5:Model in Maxsurf
Step 5: The imported model is then verified for its particulars using the
functions in Maxsurf modeller. Here the calculated length, breadth and depth of
the vessel are given as input. The window below shows sizing of the required
surface.
Figure 3-6: Sizing of the model
Step 6: Parametric transformation was done to input the other parameters

such as CB, depth and verification of the previously obtained values was also
carried out.
Page |
Figure 3-7: Parametric Transformation of the model
Step 7: The frame of reference was then set for obtaining the design
grid for the lines plan.
Figure 3-8:Setting Frame of Reference
Step 8: Now for obtaining the lines plan, the required number of stations,
waterlines and buttocks were given as input in the design grid. All half stations
and half waterlines where also included. The model was divided into 20stations
in length between the perpendiculars, 9 waterlines along the depth of the model
Page |
and 05 buttocks along the beam of the model. Figure below shows the design
grid for the model and also the all three views of the model after the design grid
has been set.
Figure 3-9:Design Grid
Figure 3-10:Lines Plan from Design Grid

Step 9: Hydrostatic calculation, plotting of Bonjean curves etc are all don’t
through the offset values. The offset values are obtained directly from Maxsurf
modeller for the defined hull with the given design grid. The figure below
shows the offset calculation for station 20.
Figure 3-11: Offsets for station 20
Step 10: Fairing of the lines was done in AutoCAD and the model was
again checked for the hydrostatic particulars. The final particulars came out to
be those mentioned in the figure below. These were matching with
approximately with the previous calculations.

3.5. Conclusion
The suitable hull form has been generated and the displacement at
DWL was almost near to the displacement estimated during the preliminary
dimension fixing. From the nature of the smooth variation of the hydrostatic
curves it can be made clear that the hull is properly faired. A proper hand
drawing of the lines was also drawn using the traditional method. This
developed model can hence be used in the further sections for the respective
calculations.
