Abstract:It is of the utmost importance to accurately estimate different ships’ weights during their design stages. Additionally, lightship displacement (LD) data are not always easily accessible to shipping stakeholders, while other ships’ dimensions are within hand’s reach (for example, through data from the online Automatic Identification System (AIS)). Therefore, determining lightship displacement might be a difficult task, and it is traditionally performed with the help of mathematical equations developed by shipb… Show more
