MINIMUM POWER OUTPUT REQUIRED OF ENGINES FOR FLOATING FACTORIES UNDER STORM CONDITIONS

From an economical viewpoint, floating fish factories do not require great speed or power since they spend little time sailing at full speed. Nevertheless, the power rating that is justified for the main engine on economic grounds may be insufficient for sailing in storms. According to the author, current power requirement estimations fail to account for wind resistance and the ratio of principal ship dimensions, i.e. of the basic factors in wave and wind drag as related to the specialized design of such ships. An alternate method that takes these factors into proper consideration is presented.
