Disclosed is a hull of a vessel such as a tanker. The hull is basically composed of three hemispheres, at least of two of the hemispheres having an equal diameter, the three hemispheres being connected to one another such that the lines connecting the center of the hemisphere located at the bow side to the centers of the two hemispheres of the equal diameter constitute two sides of an equilateral triangle. With this hull construction, it is possible to obtain the maximum internal volume with minimized outer surface area, while attaining a superior steering and running performance. |
