Abstract
Motion sickness incidence index (MSI) is one of essential issues in ship motion research to access the comfort of passenger on board cruises and yachts. In the paper, wave energy spectrum and MSI will be analyzed. Evaluation will not only provide an initial feedback of passenger’s comfort in ship design stage but also estimate the suitable speed to steer the cruise comfortably.
