Abstract

The main features are presented related to the development of an innovative passenger ship, starting from the concept design up to the final realization of the real scale prototype. The vessel herein enlightened is represented by a very unconventional solution for the employment in the short range passenger traffic with a low environmental impact. The proposed solution has been inspired by both hydrofoil and SWATH technol-ogies with the aim of matching relatively high transfer speeds, low environmental impact and reduced wave washing phenomena. The Department of Naval Architecture of the University of Genova cooperated with Rodriquez Cantieri Navali to develop the complete design of this new vessel. In this paper the structural design is described, starting from a first, preliminary approach by HSC Rules. Preliminary studies, on simplified numerical models, have also been performed to evaluate the mutual interaction between the hull and the submerged structure. The main information have been collected in order to setup a finite element model suitable to simulate the behaviour of the structure as a whole. Starting from this model subsequent implementations have been car-ried out improving the investigation of stress and strain distributions.
