%X This paper describes procedures used for
preliminary design analysis of a<span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> roll-on; roll-off passenger vessel abbreviated as RoPox. As the name
presupposes, RoPax ships are used for carriage of rolling type-cargoes and as
well as <span>passengers. RoPax are usually medium
size ships with high performance</span> char<span>acteristics
that enhance their application for both long and short distance</span> journeys. For instance, in Nigeria where most of her regions are surrounded by
seas, this type of ship</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\">is apt. Several methods
were implemented in order to obtain some preliminary results scoped in dimension,
hydrostatic and hy<span>drodynamic
characteristics. The methods used correlate well with conven</span>tional
values discussed in reality and in literatures.</span>
