Development of Rolling-Reduction Structure Vessel for Maritime Safety

Safety incidents occurring in coastal areas in the course of leisure activities have been a social issue. In order to address such safety issues, there needs to be a way to rapidly respond to safety incidents. The current study aims to develop a vessel that floats on coastal waters with rolling-reduction shape, which can be used to rapidly respond to safety incidents and save human lives. The floating vessel was designed with a completely new shape, considering the efficiency, size, speed, and other design factors. This ship must have rolling reduction structure, as rescue personnel will be persistently present in it. As such, the bottom part of the ship body was designed using CFD analysis method. In addition, the rolling analysis for the ship body was conducted to comparatively analyze the rolling reduction effect of the design models and deduce the final shape of the vessel.
