ABSTRACT
The seakeeping or ship motion problem is one of the most complicated and challenging topics in the field of numerical marine hydrodynamic. The study of ship motions and wave loads of a ship is very important for ship design as large motions affect largely and that can lead to structural damages. Therefore it is necessary to develop a practical and reliable tool for prediction of ship motions and sea loads. Due to this need, prediction of the motions of a ship when it traverses through a wave field is still a challenging and interesting topic for the researchers model with conventional strip theories.
