Abstract: On board the containership “Atlantic Crown” measurements have been carried out with regard to: a.the sea wavesb.the heaving- and pitching motionsc.the torque and number of revolutions of both propeller shaftsd.the apparent wind velocity and -direction. The measured values have been compared with predictions for power as well as for the motions and satisfactory agreement is shown.
