Low Resistance Hull Form Developed for BlueTech 42

Foreship BlueTech Ltd. and Foreship Ltd. have jointly developed a new super-low resistance hull form for the BlueTech 42 bulk carrier. The hull has low resistance through the speed range – not only at design speed. This gives the benefit for owners and operators to choose the speed based on their needs, as every speed is ECO-Speed. Extensive use of in-house RANS-CFD together with innovative and unique design features were the cornerstones for the hull form development. Even the smallest details were optimized, but the entire wave formation was the dominating feature of the development.
