Title: Optimising the hull lines for actual operational conditions
Abstract: Increasing the hull beam and keeping the block coefficient low is the way to optimise the hull lines to reduce fuel consumption under a range of realistic operational speeds. The optimal block coefficient must be determined by balancing the need for minimum resistance against the required deadweight.
