Merchant ships preliminary dimensioning
In the form that appears below the user indicates the type and size of a merchant ship whose main features wants to know and getting in response, a preliminary approximation of the same.
This estimate is based on statistical analysis and regressions (Ref.1) of ships dimensions, being actual ships or designed projects, linking each of the characteristics of the ship with a single parameter describing her size ( deadweight, cargo volume, number of containers etc.). The resulting characteristics should therefore be considered as a first approximation only, which will give an idea of the characteristics of the new project or will serve as an initial basis for a more detailed definition by usual design procedures (Ref.2).
