This paper presents a review of the different International Maritime Organization (IMO)
initiatives to improve the ship energy efficiency of new and existing ships, which is …

A propeller optimization procedure is developed by coupling a propeller design tool with a
nonlinear optimizer. An optimized propeller contributes toward maritime decarbonization …

To address the limitations of battery-powered unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) in terms of
endurance mileage, this study introduces proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) …

This work develops a new multi-level hull-propulsor optimization tool, systematically
considering the full range of expected operating conditions. Different solvers with variable …

In the current paper, different geometrical parameters of the trimaran hull ship are
investigated to achieve the optimal points of geometry parameters. Considering the fixed …

The focus of this paper is on devising designer-friendly hull-form variations coupled with
optimization algorithms. Hull-form variations are carried out through parametric modification …

One of the most important aspects, in the ACS and multi stepped hull design, is the choice of
the geometrical shape of the cavity and the steps. In this article a complete experimental and …

The proposed design methodology represents a new approach to optimize the propeller–
hull system simultaneously. In this paper, two objective functions are considered, the first …

An automated practical multi-objective optimisation scheme is proposed for ship hull
modification. A shift transformation and a self-blending method are sequentially performed …

The International Maritime Organization aims for net-zero carbon emissions in the maritime
industry by 2050. Among various alternatives, route optimization holds an important place as …
