The displacement body is particularly flow line-shaped and has glide surfaces on both sides of it. The displacement volume of the body corresponds to the total weight of the ship, so that the glide surfaces are located at least over the length of the displacement body in or adjacent to the water line. The glide surfaces (B) in the longitudinal and/or cross direction of the body of the ship have a wave-form construction and the wave formations of the glide surfaces are displaced by approximately 180 degrees to the waves produced by the displacement body (A). The waves of the displacement body are extinguished on travel through the water. The ship body has compensation tanks in order to hold the glide surfaces in or near the water line when weight fluctuations of the ship occur.
