Reviewer 2 Report

The paper is interesting in terms of the subject it covers, but it has some handicaps as stated below.

1) In abstract section, Quadmaran vessel is mentioned as very general words in the first sentence, DP is mentioned in the second and third sentences, and DP movement of the mentioned ship is explained in the fourth sentence. There is an ambiguity here. This ambiguity should be removed in order to increase the readability of the paper.

2) In the introduction part of the paper, the literature has not been examined in detail and comprehensively. This section needs to be restructured and the literature section should be enriched with related studies.

3) The motivation of the paper should be explain in detail in the introduction section.

4) Figure qualities are very low. This problem should fixed.

5) Conclusion section of the paper is quite weak. This section should be strenghtened and findings of the study should discussed in detail.
