Highlights:
As the seakeeping behaviour of a this vessel is of utmost importance for both safety of the crew and reliable transport of cargo, our design includes a passive stabilizing system of the Flume Tank type, which is the balance considering efficiency, cost and complexity.
Special attention was paid to excellent speed-power performance with significantly low fuel oil consumption as well as excellent sea keeping behaviour and good manoeuvrability.
