Considering the sea conditions in which a large ship encountered in operation, the ship’s behavior in very short waves is important. However, the evaluation of the ship performance in very short waves was not enough validated by tank tests. Because it is difficult to generate waves with enough accuracy due to the performance of the wave generator. In this paper, it is shown that tank tests of added resistance in the regular waves including the very short waves are conducted in the Actual Sea Model Basin at National Maritime Research Institute, MPAT for DTC container ship and accurate results are obtained. The test results are compared with the benchmarks published by SHOPERA (Energy Efficient Safe SHip OPERAtion). In addition, three curves of the added resistance in the regular waves based on the results of the tank test are compared and the sensitivity analysis of energy efficiency is discussed. In the sensitivity analysis, the performance simulator for ships in actual seas (VESTA) is used, and a comparison is carried out for the fuel consumption calculated from the frequency response of each added resistance in waves. As a result, it is found that the tendency in added resistance in very short waves affects the fuel consumption and the decrease of ship speed.
