Tugboat Resistance and Efficiency Analysis

The document provides specifications for a cargo ship including its length, draft, tonnage, cargo capacity, underwater area, windage area, and performance estimates for different towing speeds, wind speeds, current speeds, and wave conditions. It calculates the wave drift force, frictional resistance, aerodynamic resistance, and total resistance. It then calculates the required bollard pull and tug efficiency to tow the ship.
