In Norway, created a ship that is not afraid of seasickness

The Points Guy reports that Norwegian The shipbuilding company Ulstein designed the X-Bow, which will solve the problem of motion sickness.

The ship is designed to “pierce” oncoming waves and dissipate their energy on the sides of the ship. The unique flat bow of the ship allows you to minimize the number of vibrations and impacts.

The operational advantage is lower fuel consumption in bad weather.

The first ship with the X-Bow design is Greg Mortimer, which is owned by Aurora Expeditions, a company specializing in cruises to Antarctica.

The ship is designed for 100 passengers, and recently set off on its debut voyage between South America and the coldest continent on the planet. As expected, this vessel will allow everyone on board much calmer to overcome the Drake Strait.

Ulstein says there are about 100 X-Bow vessels in operation or construction. According to shipbuilders, the cruise industry sees potential in ships with a new design.
