Principal characteristics
- A novel hull shape, with a redistributed foreship volume and substantially reduced flare
- A raised foreship, which normally incorporates accommodations
- Patented internationally by Ulstein

Optimised hull shape
The shape of the hull has been optimised with a view to high top speeds, low resistance and reduced fuel consumption. Great emphasis is placed on the crew’s comfort and safety during work and rest periods.

Comfort
- Elimination of slamming and bow impact
- Soft entry in waves
- Low acceleration levels
- Reduced vibration levels
- Available crew rest time increased
- Safer workplace due to smoother motions

Environment
- Significantly more energy efficient shape in waves
- Higher transit speed
- Reduced power consumption
- Improved fuel efficiency
- Increased operational time
- Increased schedule keeping

Inverted bow
- Larger and higher volume distribution
- Less spray
- Slender hull lines
- Safer workplace due to increased protection provided by hull
