    (Terengganu: Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 2013) Abdul Halim Md Ali
    Presently the multihull market is the fastest growing segment of the entire boating industry. To fulfill the demands, multihull high speed vessels have become a popular choice of transport such as catamaran and Small Waterplane Area Twin Hulls (SW A TH) vessel because of their comfort levels are higher compared to monohull. The increasing demand for high speed vessel for commercial and military purpose led to the increasing number of catamaran in waterways. The impact of the increasing demands of catamaran causing a serious environmental damage. The bank erosion issues especially in river and canals occur due to the large wake wash motion produced when the catamaran passes.
