Monihulliset

Monihulliset, also known as multi-hulled vessels, are ships that have more than one hull. The most common types of monohulliset are catamarans and trimarans, which have two and three hulls respectively. These vessels are designed to offer several advantages over traditional monohull ships. One of the primary benefits is increased stability, which allows for safer and more comfortable sailing conditions, especially in rough seas. Additionally, monohulliset often have a lower center of gravity, which can improve handling and maneuverability. Another advantage is the ability to carry more cargo or passengers, as the additional hulls provide extra space. However, monohulliset can be more expensive to build and maintain due to their complex design and the need for specialized skills. They are commonly used in various applications, including passenger ferries, cargo ships, and even recreational yachts. The design of monohulliset continues to evolve, with ongoing research and development aimed at further improving their performance and efficiency.
