    Hye all,

    Does anyone here expert in AHTS design? I doing a new design, after calculation and almost based on 'scale' from basis ship...

    Basis ship parameters:
    LOA= 60 m
    LWL= 58 m
    B = 16 m
    T = 4.85 m
    D = 6 m
    DWT = 1650 tonnes
    Cb = 0.6 (assumption)

    New ship parameters (calculated):
    DWT = 2723 tonne (target)
    LOA = 72 (by using Posdunine with constant, C from basis ship)
    B = 18.53 m
    T = 5.62 m
    D = 6.94 m


    Could anyone give a comment or suggestion on step for determining of these principle dimensions? and how to estimate the power for engine selection? I don't have any experience before on designing AHTS... could please anyone give me some guidance or any reference...

    Many thanks.
