Effectiveness of Crew Boat Hull Form on Manouvering Performance

Abstract The condition of the crew boat is good hull shape with good operational conditions when maneuvering. In this case, the condition of the waveform at sea will have a significant impact on the ship’s motion. To provide the optimal type of hull, it was developed by conducting several simulations on the ship’s motion. Several simulation conditions were carried out, including analyses of ship speed, the shape of the waves formed, and ship maneuvering. At the simulation stage, several types of hulls were carried out, including the single U-hull, the single V-hull, the trimaran, and the catamaran. The simulation limits the length of the ship but not the width of the ship because the conditions in the multi-hull require sufficient space for its width, so that it can be ascertained that it provides effective and efficient results for the selection of the shape of the hull. The simulation analysis carried out provides a recommendation that the single V hull model gives good results compared to other types of hull selection for crew boat hulls.
