Designing bulbous bows for ships remains a challenging task. Their impact on different design attributes as well their change in performance when operating off intended condition renders this multidimensional problem. This paper explores the application of machine learning techniques to sample in-service vessel data develop preliminary tool. The ships' was analysed together with bow generate mo...
