Acknowledgments


We would like to express our sincere appreciation to our supervisor Dr Mahdi Khorasanchi from Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean & Marine Engineering at University of Strathclyde for his commitment and time devoted to this project.

We would like to thank Dr Ting Sie Chui from Atkins Limited for the advice, industry insight and help in taking the right direction in our project.

We would also like to thank all of staff members who helped and guided us along our work on the project, especially Dr Paul Strachan who organised project crits and whose help was invaluable.
