Abstract
At this time a great experience about trimaran structure \nscantling does not still exist owing to the very poor number \nof units built all over the world. Existing HSC rules can be \nconsidered more than a simple help for the designer but, in \nthis case, they does not make reference specifically to \ntrimarans. In the context of a concept design of a trimaran \nfast ferry developed at the University of Genova by \nDINAV, a procedure for structure scantling has been \ndeveloped starting from a preliminary approach based on \nHSC rules, up to the determination of global design loads \nby a long term analysis. In this paper the latter part is \ndescribed together with some comparisons with previous \nfinite element calculations.
