A performance and passenger ferry evaluation of a Rodriquez Cantiere Navale surface-piercing hydrofoil ship (RHS 200) was conducted for the USCG and UMTA. Calm and rough water powering characteristics of the 125-ton, 254 passenger, diesel-powered ship were determined. The tests included investigation of ship takeoff power, time, and distance requirements. A wide scope of hullborne and foilborne turning trials were performed. Bollard pull and underway towing capabilities were assessed. The bow wake of the ship was measured, interior and exterior sound levels were recorded, and spectral definition of structural vibrations were obtained. The rough water trials primarily considered the effect of the flap-controlled seakeeping augmentation system on ship motions and accelerations in state 3 and state 5 seas. The ferry service evaluation included ship compliance with USCG applicable requirements and operational and arrangement information pertinent to ferry utilization. Independently developed curves of form are included. (Author) |
