Dual-Purpose Ro-Ro Fast Ship: Some Comments and Lower Cost Option
V.A. Dubrovsky, Ph.D. [Independent ship designer]

ABSTRACT
The article discusses an alternative variant to the high-speed trimaran designed as a rollon/roll-off ship for commercial or military use that was recently published in literature (Marine Technology 42(2005)3). Initial ship performance and general plan are discussed. The alternative option to the initial ship is given with a new cargo deck arrangement for unloading time minimisation. It is shown that the proposed option with the same payload, main engine power, same speed as a minimum, and with a smaller full displacement is cheaper for building, but can ensure the same income.

KEYWORDS
