Abstract: This report describes the hydrodynamic design of a single-screw cargo liner intended to operate at speeds in the range above V/√L=1.0 The ship considered is of the 20,000 m3 displacement-volume type with a length of 160 m and a maximum loaded draft of 9.15 m. The selection of the main form characteristics and the motivation for testing models with different largest-section coefficients is given. Three models were designed and tested for resistance and powering performance. The test results are presented and discussed.
