    Looks clever. Reducing fuel burn is important to shipping. It should be easy to use routing software and the ships polars to prove the concept.

    Whether a ship needs a certain shape to be handled during port operations is another question.

    Looks like a whole lot of weight up high.

    This weight needs to be counterbalanced with ballast and it and said ballast must be subtracted from cargo capacity.

    Interesting idea though.

    The newest builds for efficiency simply go larger .

    Latest is an 18,800 TEU cargo boat , set up to be efficient at 2 different steaming speeds.

    A rogue wave would have fun with that puppy. Obviously designed by someone that's never been to sea.
