Full-scale seakeeping trials were conducted on the Small Waterplane Area, Twin-Hull (SWATH) ship designated Semi-Submerged Platform (SSP) Kaimalino. The ship has a displacement of 220 tonnes and a length of 26.7 meters. Trials were conducted in Sea States 4 and 5 at various headings and a full range of speeds. The effect of automatic motion control was evaluated. Measurements were made of motions and accelerations and the seaway. Results are presented in significant value form. The results establish the motion characteristics of KAIMALINO and illustrate the good seakeeping characteristics inherent in SWATH ship designs both with and without automatic motion control.
