Description
Summary:An Arctic vessel operates in a fragile Arctic environment that requires analyzing an eco-efficiency besides cost-efficiency in the conceptual design – phase that mainly determines a ship's performance. We present a software framework to optimize Arctic offshore support vessels for Cost- and Eco-efficiency using the Artificial Bee Colony algorithm. The framework scans the feasible design space to find a Pareto front, considering essential ship qualities in a specific operational context. The object-oriented structure of the program modules makes them independently reusable for a wide range of applications. Peer reviewed
