PREDICTION OF SPEED AND BEHAVIOUR OF A SHIP IN A SEA-WAY

A computer program has been developed to calculate speed and behavior of a ship in a seaway. In this stage the program is suitable for seagoing vessels in head waves. In determining the speed, two factors are considered: the natural speed reduction due to added resistance caused by wind and waves and the voluntary speed reduction by the ship's captain, in order to prevent severe motions.
