In recent years, the development and construction of islands and reefs has been proposed by the government and commercial company. However, as a large cargo carrier cannot reach islands and reefs if the harbor is not available, such type of carrier which has well deck is designed to meet the requirements of delivering people and equipment. It is a possible way to connect the island and supply cargo ships. This paper firstly summarizes the domestic and foreign research progress of hydrodynamic analysis of ships with well deck. Then, based on the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) tools, we set up a linear numerical wave tank and study the hydrodynamic performance of original Wigley-III ship and modified Wigley-III ship with well deck. The hydrodynamic effect of the floating body in the well deck has been investigated and discussed.
