Abstract

This paper deals with the sea trial results of a fast craft with the hybrid supported type hul form. waterjet propulsion system and motion control system. The hybrid-type container ship operable in the sea with a wave height of y6 m, a speed of 50 knots and a payload of 1,500 tons were designed. A 1/8 scale 10 m- long test craft was constructed and tested in open seas. The hydrodynamic performance such as speed, turning, motion control in waves and waterjet thrush was analyzed.
