Bourbon Orca passing Skandi Caledonia and Havila Faith

16th of January 2007 Bourbon Orca went out fromt he coast of Norway/Bergen together with the supply boats Skandi Caledonia and Havila Faith. They had 8-10 knots and Orca had 13 knots steady speed. It's the special x-bow design that makes the difference in the speed and up/down moving of the boats.
Music by Joachim Nilsen. Tune is called "Blodhund".

freak of nature? that is your opinion...but it is no doubt that she loves the heavy seas. I think she is raw!

This thought accord to me, why hasn't anyone designed, or come out with a Aircraft Carrier with an X-Bow Hull design. Seems like the most logical choice for that time of vessel. could also apply to RO/RO car carrier ships. Have you seen how those ships get thrashed around on rough sea's... Really scarry..

X- Bow goes like a sub through the rough sea. Excellent design for such conditions..
