Abstract: 
Fuel economy and environmental friendliness are attracting lot of interest in the marine sector because of ever strict environmental laws and erratic fuel costs. By cutting drag and hence lowering carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption, an effective hull shape may increase the general efficiency of a maritime vehicle. Hull design influences not just ship stability but also general performance in efficiency. Various techniques used in recent years to lower the fuel consumption of maritime vehicles are examined in this work. Techniques for weight minimization, micro bubble utilization and innovative coating application, hull shape optimization. The YOHANA hull design, materials, and variables like pressure, velocity, draft and channels of flow are being optimized using the analysis tool quite well. The outcomes of the simulation are in line with current knowledge and literary debates.
