  ABSTRACT: This paper describes procedures used for preliminary design analysis of a 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 passengers. RoPax are usually medium size ships with high performance characteristics that enhance their application for both long and short distance journeys. For instance, in Nigeria where most of her regions are surrounded by seas, this type of ship is apt. Several methods were implemented in order to obtain some preliminary results scoped in dimension, hydrostatic and hydrodynamic characteristics. The methods used correlate well with conventional values discussed in reality and in literatures.
