Bulbless Bow Hullform Design

Special bow form with negative stem profile and sharp waterlines without bulb results in less resistance at moderate speeds while having more displacement and cargo hold volume. Sharp entrance angles and less bow flare reduce speed loss in seaway. Model tests show excellent performance while breaking through ice channels.
