A new energy saving hull architecture with high hydrodynamic efficiency, as scientifically tested by skilled Institutes such as:
- I.N.S.E.A.N. C.N.R. National Research Council - Italian Ship Model Basin - Institute of the Towing Tank of Rome,
- Navy Department of UNITS - University of Trieste,
- University of Stockholm (Sweden) - KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
Italian and international patent, able to obtain a reduction in hydrodynamic resistance and to optimize hull performances, with the following results:
· Higher speeds than of displacement hulls
· Power and construction and operating cost less than a planing hull
· Greater comfort in navigation of a planning hull
Characteristics of this Monotricat hull:
· Low wake at all speeds
· Kinetic energy from bow wave drives turbulent flow, reducing friction of aftship
· Variable pressure under hull → "mono-stab" effect
· Improved efficiency of propellers due to clean and accelerated flow under aftship
· Bow creates similar effect on sea-keeping like the complex wave-piercing bow →
comfort in navigation, even in adverse sea and weather conditions
· Unlike conventional hulls high propulsion efficiency can even be obtained with a
L/B from 3 to 3,6 → high transverse stability and generous under/deck space.
