THE IMPACT OF SEAKEEPING ON SHIP OPERATIONS
A general philosophy of seakeeping is outlined, and a review of the various steps used in seakeeping analysis is given. Operational aspects of seakeeping are discussed as a complementary step to design, considering shipboard guidance as well as shore-based routing. For shipboard use a variety of currently available charts for guidance in heavy weather is first illustrated, indicating the need for a more effective system. The use of monitoring and recording instrumentation as a navigational aid is then described, as well as its use for specific guidance in heavy weather. Actual ship data as recorded and processed by a Heavy Weather Damage Avoidance System currently in use are illustrated. Possible integration of such a system with shore-based routing is evaluated, and a cost/benefit analysis illustrates the economics of the system. Conclusions based on the performance of the system are rather optimistic.
