Search and rescue operations, especially in ship accidents, require speed and reliability from the rescue vessels in facing the challenges of extreme weather and sea waves. A rescue boat hydrodynamic performance study is very important to do to determine the ship's ability to withstand dangerous conditions while operating. Therefore, a rescue boat design is needed that is capable of high acceleration and can penetrate various extreme sea condition. Three rescue boat hull models have been developed to obtain the hull model with the best seakeeping performance. A numerical arrangement based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques is used to predict seakeeping behaviour from three rescue boat hull model in wave. Three-dimensional diffraction panel method uses as a CFD solver method to predict the seakeeping performance of rescue boat high-speed operation in wave. From the study results, it was found that the first rescue boat hull model had a good seakeeping performance compared to other hull models.
