The catamaran-type ship for hauling barges includes two parallel spaced hull forms each including its own bow. One or more additional bows, each partially defining a pair of water-receiving passageways respectively on opposite sides thereof, are disposed between the hull forms and extend rearwardly for only a portion of the length of the hull forms. An elongated platform structure for supporting barges in transit is disposed between the hull forms aft of the additional bow or bows. The platform structure extends rearwardly, from a front portion thereof adjacent the additional bow or bows, for a substantial portion of the remainder of the length of the hull forms, and is operatively connected to the hull forms for vertically reciprocal movement relative thereto. A pair of deflecting structures are disposed respectively on opposite sides of each bow to direct water from the water-receiving passageways downwardly and underneath the ship. The bows are flat on the bottom, sharply pointed, and have a leading edge which slopes upwardly and rearwardly from the tip of the bottom.
