COMPUTER PROGRAMS FOR THE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF GENERAL CARGO SHIPS

A description is given of two computer programs which can be used for the preliminary design of general cargo ships. Both programs contain technical and economical calculations which offers the possibility that the economics of alternative designs can be regarded quickly. The first program is a design program and it can be used for the determination of the most relevant particulars of a ship. The second program can be used for the analysis of existing ships. Several results are shown and discussed. Finally some further developments are indicated.
