Whole Ship Model

The Whole Ship Model is a flexible integrated ship design tool, that can be used to calculate the performance of individual ships or a range of ships with a variety of design and efficiency method options.

The Whole Ship Model is written in Python and contains a series of models (including a resistance model, propeller model and a hull generator) that are used to calculate the performance of individual ships or a range of ships with a variety of design and technology options.

The Whole Ship Model works as a standalone engineering design tool or with the economic model, GloTraM, developed in the UCL Energy Institute, resulting in unique integrated models that can be used to model the future take up of energy efficiency measures in shipping.
