Ship route optimization to enable the just-in-time arrival at a port by Haziq Bin Mudzzaffar

“…Each engine which are paired with a particular propeller has a specialized purpose – some are used for slow speed, such as tankers and containerships, while others require high speeds which are used for military purposes such as frigates and are designed for fast transportation during warfare or peace-keeping. In this project, several programs would be utilized to perform analysis, to generate the boundary layers of the specified vessel, and to tabulate the wave resistance in conjunction with a specified velocity. …”
