The main characteristic of the X-Stern is a sloping and higher stern, which allows for a sharp stern shape where the transom plate is replaced by a pointed aft. According to Ulstein, this results in increased station keeping, reduced wave response, improved crew safety and comfort, and reduced power consumption. X-STERN-FWD-AFT-sectorsUlstein says that the design is particularly useful for vessels where the best possible motion characteristics are essential. For station keeping, this means that a vessel featuring the X-Stern can be positioned with the stern faced towards the weather instead of the bow. This, in turn, will lead to improved weathervaning for greater operability and reduced power and fuel consumption by as much as 25% while on DP. |
