catamaran hull forms. This paper attempts to present the research work carried out so far and what needs to be undertaken in future for a reasonably accurate prediction of catamaran resistance characteristics. The authors have examined the deep water wave resistance characteristics of a series of transom stern, semi-displacement slender catamaran hull forms of round bilge as well as single chine hull forms, which are of utmost importance to the high-speed ferry industry. The accuracy of the established
