Efficiency Estimation of Specialized Multifunctional Ships at Optimal Designing

The effectiveness assessment of specialized ships was discussed. Three groups of criteria such as financially-economic, technical and operational were analyzed. As an integrated criterion, “cost-effectiveness” ratio was proposed to be used. Selection of the optimum design characteristics of specialized ships were offered to carried out by solving the optimization problem. The description of the optimization problem formulation and the method of its solution were presented.
