MULTIPURPOSE VESSEL FLEET FOR SHORT BLACK SEA SHIPPING THROUGH MULTIMODAL TRANSPORT CORRIDORS

A study about the requirements and cargo transportation demand in Black Sea as part of a multimodal frame is performed, estimating potential need ship fleet multipurpose ships. The performs conceptual vessel design sizing using long-time experience statistics defining main dimensions her hull form, resistance propulsion, weights, stability, free-board, seakeeping manoeuvrability, capital, operational decommissioning expenditure, where optimal solution obtained based on energy efficiency, shipbuilding, operation, resale costs at end service life. discussion possible applications different sizes improving efficiency considers vessel's typical profile such way to maximise economic impact conditional unsteady flow environmental impact.
