WASP

Performance Prediction, Weather Routing, Economical Evaluation

Confidential project involving the evaluation of multiple WASP technologies, as part of Juan Yacht Design Team.

The scope included:

  • Predicting performance and estimating fuel and emission reductions across candidate systems.
  • Conducting weather routing under varying objectives (e.g., max speed, fuel savings).
  • Assessing regulatory impact, particularly regarding the Carbon Intensity Index (CII).
  • Developing a detailed economic model, including full cash flow simulations over the vessel’s operational life.

Main tools: CFD (Star-CCM+), Python, and custom economic analysis frameworks.
