Development of monohull fish processing vessel hullform to support domestic fishing activities in Indonesia

Abstract

This research is focused on the development of the design and prototype of monohull fish processing vessel hullform to support fishing activities such as catching fish, collecting fish from the smaller boats and processing fish catches. The extensive on-board facilities in the fish processing vessel are maintaining the freshness of the catch and improving the quality of catch fish than traditional fishing boat. The initial stage of this study is determining the principal dimension and exploring of the configurations of monohull hull forms. Furthermore, the investigation of resistance characteristics, intact stability and seakeeping behavior was carried out using strip theory and computational fluid dynamic methods. Regarding the performance of the hulls resistance, the analysis indicates that the hull form with smaller block coefficients showed better resistance characteristics. In the case of intact stability, the results of the analysis showed that the model 2 of monohull hull form showed better intact stability characteristics compared to the other models.
