Summary
Ship’s design and more especially the simulation and modelling of all the relevant aspects connected to the real-life functioning of a ship is increasingly becoming a multi-disciplinary affair. Naval architects, port-experts, economist and mathematicians are all busy with the mono-disciplinary optimization of design and performance. A meaningful link however between these activities seems to be very difficult to be realised: all the experts talk their own language and are unable to understand and integrate the often very relevent information from the other disciplines in their own work.
An interdisciplinary approach to the problem as a whole could, in some cases, result in a distinctly positve synergy.
Appropriately designed simulation methods and techniques are needed in order to guarantee the success of this interdisciplinary synthesis.
