The hull structure further comprises port and starboard crossbeam structures rigidly connecting the respective outer hull to the main hull, each crossbeam structure comprising, or consists of, a forward crossbeam and a rearward crossbeam spaced from one another in longitudinal direction of the outer hull, with an opening in between crossbeams. The main hull is provided with a sailing system erected on the main hull, e.g. comprising one or more wing sails. The main hull is provided with a mechanical propulsion drive system comprising a drive train including a motor driving a mechanical propulsion device, which motor is powered directly or indirectly by a fuel. The hull structure of the vessel is provided with one or more compartments accommodating main fuel tanks for storage of said fuel, which one or more compartments are located in one or both of the outer hulls.
