configuration with two hard chine lateral bodies and a central hull supporting the column structures and protecting the


cross deck from wave impacts. The


ENVIROALISWATH has a length of 63 m and the breadth of 15.5 m with a transport capacity of 450 passengers and 50 cars.

The submerged body has a length of 50 m, a breadth of 4.10 m and a depth of 2.6 m and it provides the 80% of the hydrostatic buoyancy. The remaining provided:

McCartan et al [47] reported on a transatlantic superliner design concept (figure 11) based on a 290m Pentamaran, which engages in Design-Driven Innovation to develop a new market sector for high speed multifunctional vessel to compete with both air freight and business class air travel in addition to the role of a superliner cruise ship. This design proposal offered the business traveller a personalised office space with global connectivity to make the journey a seamless extension of the working environment. The logistics role of the vessel gives the cruising passengers and business travellers a lower carbon footprint that a single function vessel, thereby engaging in green luxury.


Boote and Mascia [48] developed a fast passenger ship with a very low wake wash to be used in a short range transport close to the shore. Where wake wash represents the biggest limitation to the commercial development of fast vessels, which is exacerbated by vessel size. The feasible platform typologies examined were: hydrofoil; catamaran; SWATH. They synthesized a new topology the ENVIROALISWATH, combining hydrofoil and SWATH


principles, in order to environmental impact and reduced wave


achieve low washing


phenomena, while maintaining a high speed. Providing high performances, manoeuvrability and controllability typical of hydrofoils combined with the good sea keeping qualities and low installed power, typical of a SWATH. The vessel consists of the hull and a submerged body connected together by two column structures, shown in Figure12. The submerged


body houses propulsion system, and has four foils the main providing the dynamic lift. The hull (Figure 13) has a trimaran


 at cruise speed by four foils lifting force. Achieving 27


knots with moderate wave making.


Platform technical innovations such as this will enable marine vessels to create new markets to compete with other forms of logistics and public transport.

The on-board comfort of large motor yachts has become the object of specific attention by most Classification Societies which issued new rules and regulations for the evaluation of noise and vibration maximum levels; this is an equivalent


to NVH analysis in the automotive


industry. In a comprehensive investigation into the dynamic behaviour of superyacht structures, Boote et al [49] carried out a detailed FEA analysis of a 60.0m superyacht. In order to investigate the natural frequencies of the main steel deck and of the superstructure aluminium alloy decks (Figure 14). The numerical results
