What is it about?
The book gives a summry of developments of the EU funded project HOLISHIP (www.holiship.eu). The HOLISHIP approach brings together all relevant main disciplines of maritime product design under the umbrella of advanced parametric modelling tools and integrated software platforms enabling the parametric, multi-objective and multi-disciplinary optimisation of maritime products. The approach includes market analysis and demand, economic and efficiency considerations, hull form design, structural design, and selection of prime movers and outfitting. Together they form the mission requirements and enable the formulation of a rational foresight analysis for the viability of the product model over its life cycle (“from cradle to cradle”). It considers all fundamental steps of the traditional “ship design spiral”, which, however, are better implemented today by a systemic, parallel processing approach and not a serial, step-by-step procedure.

Why is it important?
The book outlines developments in ship design that will dominate the maritime market in the years to come.
Perspectives
Editing and writing chapters of this book was a great pleasure as it has co-authors with whom I have had long standing collaborations. This books also paves the way of future developments in ship design, maritime production and services.
