| Ship design is a complex exertion requiring successful management of many disciplines, of both technical and non-technical quality, and of individual experts to arrive at valuable design solutions. This paper presents a new approach to the design of a moderate container ship that would achieve higher speeds than currently possible, but without the expenditure on installed power and fuel, which would make operation uneconomical. It defines the generic ship design optimization problem and demonstrates its solution by use of advanced optimization techniques for the computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD and CAM), exploration and selection of optimal designs. It discusses proposed methods on the basis of some typical ship design optimization problems with multiple objectives, leading to Hull design which increases stability, lowers resistance and power prediction, reduces required powering and improves environmental protection. The problem of container ship stability is important because of the direct influence to the loss of the human-life, ship, and merchandise, etc. Therefore, the assessment for ship stability during container loading and unloading (six loading conditions)was analyzed using Hydromax software and surly comply IMO criteria regulation. In general in this paper using three software programs Maxsurf, Hydromax, and Hallspeed, three problems were solved in this design, namely: optimization problem in Hull design, Stability and Hydrostatics, Total resistance and Effective power. The final goal is to upgrade containership transportation efficiency.
