Shape of the stern of a vessel.

摘要

A vessel equipped with a single screw comprising a propeller shaft (3) being positioned on the hull center line (2), an upper deck being symmetrical with regard to the hull center line and a stern having an axis (7) of symmetry in hull section. The axis of symmetry is positioned eccentrically from the hull center line by 5 to 25% of a diameter of a propeller disc plane (4). The axis of symmetry is positioned on the port side when the propeller shaft is rotated clockwise. The axis of symmetry is positioned on the starboard side when the propeller shaft is rotated counterclockwise.
