Abstract:
This study is aim to establish a preliminary stage design of a catamaran for fishing
vessel of 100 gross tonnage in technically. The fishing vessel design has to be suitable
with the environment of Malaysian fishery and feasible to operate in Malaysia waters.
Three desired ship's length are fixed as the primary independent variable in the design
project and the others correlation parameters are thus contribute to achieve the gross
tonnage as required. Evaluate the performance for three difference catamaran of
fishing vessel design in the influence of resistance, powering requirement and stability
condition. The evaluations of the performance for three new designs of fishing vessels
use the Maxsurf Pro, Hullspeed and Hydromax software. The lines plan and general
arrangement plan will be generated from the Maxsurf and AutoCAD. The preliminary
stage of fishing vessel design methods and process will be discussed detailed in this
project study. Finally in this paper, be found the most suitable dimension of the
selected catamaran which are more stable, less power requirement due to less hull
resistance were determined by comparing the results obtained.
