The document summarizes the findings of a specialist committee on powering performance prediction. The committee analyzed additional data that supports the claim that model size influences resistance predictions. They found that changing the friction formula can reduce but not eliminate this scale effect. The committee updated procedures for predicting ship speed, power, and powering margins to be consistent with each other and current practice based on a survey of methods used. They included a method for predicting sea margin in power predictions.
