MARINE VESSEL HAVING LATERAL BENDING BUFFERING BOW

摘要

A marine vessel having a buffering bow allowing considerable effect to be expected merely by rather simple machining, wherein a low strength part for lowering the lateral bending strength of a bulb is formed in the shell of a bulbous bow at the base part of the bulb. The low strength part is formed of a low yield point steel. Thus, the depth of a damage to the hull of a mating vessel in collision can be reduced, and the hull can be prevented from being burst to prevent a cargo leakage accident.
