Two typical ship types commonly used in offshore service activities, namely Catamaran and SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull), are selected to compare their hydrodynamic performances in a specific site of China Sea. Optimizations of the hulls to minimize their resistances in clam water are performed in this study. According to the optimal hulls obtained, the sea-keeping performance of the hulls are evaluated based on the available wave scatter diagram of a specific site. Through the comparisons of the designs, this study attempts to provide a procedure used in concept design for ship type selection of the offshore vessels operating in site-specific conditions.
