heal.abstract	An integrated methodology for the initial design and optimization of ROPAX vessels, applying state of the art design software and computational tools is outlined. The developed procedure facilitates the parametric design of ROPAX vessels, based on a selected set of design parameters. Suitable macros have been developed for the design of the vessel's hull form and internal layout. Additional software tools perform the preliminary evaluation of structural design, followed by weights calculation, stability analysis, powering calculations and finally by the economic assessment of the resulting designs. The parametric ship design application has been linked to a multi-objective optimization software. The developed procedure has been applied to the design and optimization of a series of ROPAX vessels. The resulting designs have been further worked out, including detailed structural analysis and model testing in the towing tank for resistance, powering and seakeeping. © 2008 Taylor & Francis Group, London.	en
