Abstract

The study evaluates the hydrodynamic stability and resistance forces acting on the MV Blue Ocean seaweed harvester following its refurbishment and modifications. Stability parameters were analyzed under light load and full load conditions, along with traction load, power requirement and overall equilibrium.
