  • Advantages of Trimaran Hulls

    There are many advantages of Triamran hulls in comparison to the traditional Monohulls. Here is a small list of those advantages.

  • Reduced hull resistance at higher speeds resulting in typically 18-20% less installed power for an escort sized vessel required to achieve 28 knots
  • Wide range of propulsion options
  • Greater fuel economy
  • Increased directional stability.
  • Improved stability and reduced motion.
  • Top weight growth margins are greater. There are significant additional stability benefits in the area of growth margins. This will allow equipment upgrades during the life of the ship to be easily accommodated .
  • Increased stealth - potential for reductions in radar cross section and infrared signatures. A reduction in heat signature could be gained be exhausting between the side hulls rather than conventional main structure funnelling.
  • The side hulls can be utilised for configuring a multiline towed array sonar.
  • Improved sea keeping performance at higher speeds, operational in higher sea states
  • Increased deck area (up to 40 per cent) on 1 and 2 decks for a given tonnage, offering more space for hangars, helicopter operation and weapons. Some of the greatest advantages for the trimaran comes from the improved effectiveness of the whole ship design afforded by this very large deck area.
