ABSTRACT:
A monolithic concrete marine vessel hull construction includes an inner hull skin including at least two transversely interconnected, longitudinally, horizontally coextensive hull shells made of vertically slip-formed concrete. Each of these inner hull shells is generally cylindrically curved on inner and outer peripheral surfaces thereof. Each inner hull shell is closed at its opposite ends by end walls. The hull construction further includes an outer hull skin including an outer hull shell made of vertically slip-formed concrete that is transversely spaced from and peripherally encloses the inner hull skin. The outer hull skin is planar on its upper side and curved perimetrically on its lower side. There are a plurality of concrete bulkheads which extend between and effectively interconnect the inner and outer hull skins. The outer hull shell is closed at its opposite ends by bow and stern members. A concrete deck forms an integral part of the planar upper side of the outer shell.
