“…This work is complementary to previously published research work [14,29], where the internal subdivision of a fixedhull AFRAMAX tanker was optimized with respect to the carrying capacity and the oil outflow. In the present study, the internal subdivision was kept fixed, whereas the ship's hull form was varied.…”

Recently, the scientific disciplines introduced in the general framework of 'design for XXX', namely 'design for safety' [15,16], 'design for efficiency', 'design for production', 'design for operation', etc., indicate the need for approaches and the availability of mature methods and computational tools to address holistically the ship design optimization problem.…”

“…11. Optimization of the internal subdivision is a feature of the holistic design concept that has already been demonstrated [14]. Verification of the weight estimations and especially of the weight of the steel structure is a more tedious task, requiring the integration of structural design software tools in the optimization, e.g.…”

This calls eventually for the development of proper design, operational knowledge, and assessment tools for the energy-efficient design and operation of ships, as suggested by the Second IMO GHG Study (2009). This type of coordination of the efforts of many maritime stakeholders, with often conflicting professional interests but ultimately commonly aiming at optimal ship design and operation solutions, has been addressed within a methodology developed in the EU-funded Logistics-Based (LOGBASED) Design Project (2004)(2005)(2006)(2007). Based on the knowledge base developed within this project, a new parametric design software tool (PDT) has been developed by the National Technical University of Athens, Ship Design Laboratory (NTUA-SDL), for implementing an energy efficiency design and management procedure. The PDT is an integral part of an earlier developed holistic ship design optimization approach by NTUA-SDL that addresses the multi-objective ship design optimization problem. It provides Pareto-optimum solutions and a complete mapping of the design space in a comprehensive way for the final assessment and decision by all the involved stakeholders. The application of the tool to the design of a large oil tanker and alternatively to container ships is elaborated in the presented paper.

“…Simultaneously, the first computer-aided preliminary design software systems were introduced, dealing with the mathematical parametric exploration of the design space on the basis of empirical/simplified ship models for specific ship types or the optimization of design variables for specific economic criteria by gradient based search techniques. With the further and faster advance of computer hard-and software tools, along with their integration into powerful hard-and software design systems, the time has come to look ahead in ship design optimization in a holistic way, namely by addressing and optimizing several and gradually all aspects of ship life (or all elements of the entire ship life-cycle system), at least the stages of design, construction and operation; within a holistic ship design optimization we should herein also understand exhaustive multi-objective and multi-constrained ship design optimization procedures even for individual stages of ship life (e.g., conceptual design) with least reduction of the entire real problem (Nowacki, 2009, Andrews et al, 2009, Papanikolaou et al, 2009a, and Papanikolaou, 2009b.…”

The present paper provides a brief introduction to a holistic approach to ship design optimization, defines the generic ship design optimization problem, and demonstrates its solution by using advanced optimization techniques for the computer-aided generation, exploration, and selection of optimal designs. It discusses proposed methods on the basis of some typical ship design optimization problems of cargo and naval ships related to multiple objectives, leading to improved and partly innovative design features with respect to ships’ economy, cargo carrying capacity, safety, survivability, comfort, required powering, environmental protection, or combat strength, as applicable.

“…Though, however, great attention such as Abt and Harries (2007) has been shown to the optimization of hull forms in recent years, the study on an optimization of an arrangement has received relatively little attention such as Boulougouris, Papanikolaou and Zaraphonitis (2004). With awareness of this issue, A. Papanikolaou emphasized the importance of the holistic design optimization in Papanikolaou (2010). In this study, in sympathy with his opinion, we attempt to optimize an arrangement of ship compartments with geometric model and knowledge on ship compartments.…”
