Abstract :
[en] A multi-criteria optimisation of a passenger ship is conducted in this paper. Minimum production cost and minimum steel weight are the both objective studied. Moreover the study answers to the following question: "From when will the higher costs of high tensile steel should be offset by a gain of steel weight?". For a passenger ship, a significant reduction of the steel weight, for a controlled raise of the gravity centre, should lead either to a reduction of fuel consumption either to an additional deck, which for a ship owner means a faster return on investment. Pareto frontiers are obtained and results are validated by classification rules.
