ABSTRACT:
Since the superstructure of ships are often very high and bulky they cause a high air resistance to the forward movement of the ship which results in a high fuel consumption of the ship. In order to reduce the air resistance to the forward movement of the ship, a special type of air deflector is arranged in front of the superstructure, which is of such a design that it can be easily fitted and removed at will.
