Abstract

In this paper it is tried to find an optimal solution for propulsion system of a 19000 DWT, 18 Kn., container ship, among the four different but usual alternatives. Not only technical parameters but also economical aspects, are taken into consideration. By applying the multi-criteria method and choosing the eighteen criteria, general system efficiency of each solution is calculated. Although, accuracy of this method depends on the designer and values are functions of time, but it can be a useful method during the first phase of design Nomenclature CMCR .................
