      <title>NEW SHUTTLE FREIGHTER FOR CANAL AND COASTAL TRANSPORT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/479656</link>
      <description><![CDATA[European shortsea traffic is loosing its market share, especially to road transport.  The solution is to develop and employ new, efficient types of vessels which integrate land- and water-borne transport and take advantage of the self-evident environmental and energy advantages of waterborne transport.  This article describes a new vessel type for inland and shortsea trading, the Shuttle Service Freight Transporter (SSFT).  The concept of the SSFT, specifications and capacity plan are outlined.]]></description>

      <title>A STUDY OF MANOEUVRABILITY OF BARGE-PUSH TRAIN</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/480716</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The manoeuvrability of barge-push trains sailing in the middle and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China is discussed in this paper.  The trains consist of semi-integrated barges and push boat, equipped with propulsive-manoeuvrable apparatus, such as ducted propeller in tunnel stern, flap-type rudder and backing rudder. The length of the trains is in the range from 150m to 350m. Because of the vast dimensions and large mass of the train, the manoeuvrability is of concern.  Recently, experimental research in full scale and scale model for the barge-push train have been carried out in China.  According to test results and actual operating experience, the manoeuvring indexes for barge-push trains were chosen.  Finally, the approximate regressive expressions are given, which can be used in the initial ship design stage.]]></description>

      <title>AQUARIUS: SHALLOW DRAUGHT SEA/RIVER VESSEL COMPLETED BY SHIPYARD PETERS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/479663</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Dutch shipbuilder Shipyard Peters B.V. has recently handed over the sea/river vessel AQUARIUS to her owner, Aquarius D.V., Delfzijl, the Netherlands.  The 3,246dwt vessel is designed for navigation in coastal waters and river trading has, as a consequence, a very shallow draught in loaded condition.  The hold which can be divided into three separated sections by means of two moveable grain bulkheads has an aggregate grain capacity of 142,090cft.  A general arrangement drawing is included in the article.]]></description>

      <title>OPTIMAL DESIGN OF HIGH-SPEED RIVER CATAMARANS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/479922</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The aim of this paper is to develop a methodology to find solutions for the preliminary design of a high-speed river catamaran passenger ferry.  The design is formulated as a compromise decision support problem.  A suitable mathematical model is presented and is tested with a set of owner's requirements in order to validate it.]]></description>

      <title>HYDRODYNAMICALLY OPTIMAL HULL FORMS FOR RIVER FERRIES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/467400</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The research presented in this paper follows from a series of collaborative projects behind the design of the RiverCat ferries in use on the Parramatta River leading into Sydney Harbour in Australia. A critical feature of the design of these catamarans was to minimise the damage done to the banks of the river by means of a suitable choice of hull form.  In the current investigation, the theory has been taken a step further by using it to determine the optimal hull form in order to minimise the wave resistance and, consequently, the wave generation and erosion of the river banks.  The optimal hull depends specifically, not only on the required displacement, but also on the operational speed and chosen water depth.  Optimisation has been effected using the Genetic Algorithm.  A set of hull forms which satisfy various practical constraints is presented and the wave making resistance of the hull is compared to that of the standard Wigley hull form.]]></description>
