Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9939971A1] A ship for use in offshore operations, with one or more vertical openings (moonpools) in the hull, wherein the deck and/or hull bottom areas between or substantially between and/or otherwise adjacent the openings, are displaced relative to the rest of the deck and/or hull bottom areas of the ship to a position closer to the ship's transverse neutral axis. The area between the rest ot the other deck- and hull bottom areas and substantially the displaced area or areas is gradually stepped. Alternatively, the area between the displaced deck- and/or hull bottom area or areas at the openings in the ship and the rest of the deck- and/or hull bottom areas can be stepped in one or more steps, or be shaped as an approximately linear or arcuate junction.
