ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides manageable buoyancy and adjustable vessel draft which makes navigation possible in both shallow and deep waters without changing the total vessel weight or its given payload. The seakeeping characteristics and dynamic stability of the vessel are also managed by changing the shape of the buoyancy and by controlling corresponding wet vertical depth necessary for safe operations and navigation in both shallow and deep waters for all purposes. The ability to operate and navigate in both shallow and deep waters makes coastal boarding and unloading possible in shallow waters.
