4.0 CONCLUSIONS
New Hull Forms Focused on Improved Seakeeping.
Three General Types of Bow Form Innovations.
Several Bow Forms proprietary.
Bow Forms appear to reduce accelerations in some seastates
Bow Forms appear to reduce resistance in some seastates
Trimarans reduce accelerations in seaway and reduce resistance in
seaway
Interior volume of new hull forms significantly reduced
Construction Complexity and cost increased
Visibility can be significantly reduced in seaway
Bow Main Deck Operations limited
