Disclosed is a semi-submerged ship comprising at least two lower hulls always located below the surface of water and arranged substantially in parallel to each other with respect to the direction of advance, struts mounted substantially vertically on the upper portion of each of all or at least two of the lower hulls along almost the entire length thereof and an upper hull supported by these struts and always located above the surface of water. In this semi-submerged ship, at least one opening is formed on each strut wherein the height of the opening is less than the height of the strut and a water-tight seal is formed between this opening and the interior of the strut. This ship is arranged so that the draft line of the ship is located on the openings of the struts while the ship is stopped. This semi-submerged ship is effectively used as a passenger ship, a cargo ship, a floating factory ship or the like and is especially suitable for stevedoring while stopping the ship in the wavy sea. |
