Abstract
The objective of this research is to design a catamaran tourist ship that incorporates green technology. To achieve this, the main dimensions of the ship will be determined using the linear regression method, based on existing data from similar vessels. The empirical data from existing vessels serves as the foundation for the analysis and prediction, thereby enabling the identification of relationships and patterns between the key variables, including length, width, draft, displacement, and passenger capacity. The linear regression method offers several advantages, including simplicity, ease of interpretation, and efficiency in the use of resources. As a result, it is an effective tool for initial analysis before the application of more complex methods. The use of existing data not only helps reduce the risk of errors in the design of new vessels but also ensures that the design is efficient and compliant with operational needs and safety regulations. This research confirms the importance of a data-driven approach in the design of environmentally friendly and efficient ships.
