ABSTRACT:
A multiple hull tanker vessel in the catamaran or trimaran style is provided with relatively narrow hulls containing vertically oriented, large volume, liquid storage tanks, the vertical tanks occupying the majority of the available area within the hulls, each hull having an upper portion which extends above the water line, a middle portion and a lower portion which remains below the water line, where the hull lower portion is extended in the lateral direction so as to be wider than the hull middle portion. The hull lower portion is preferably elliptical or ovoid in transverse cross-section and tapers at the bow and stern. The vertical storage tanks correspond in configuration to the hull configuration, and may extend laterally within the hull lower portion. The vessel may be provided with an upper deck surface to receive stacked cargo containers.
