How the X-BOW® leads to higher speed and more time where it matters

How the X-BOW® leads to higher speed and more time where it matters

Even when going fast, the X-BOW provides comfort and gets the job done. Rough weather is quite common at sea, and it will delay operations and transit times. But not always.

Proven designs: 120 plus X-BOW vessels in operation around the world

With feedback like ‘amazing experience’ and 'the vessel is extremely quiet when underway, and minimal vibrations are felt in heavy seas. It is a ride of luxury', as stated by crews and passengers on X-BOW vessels. It is hard to ignore the impact this hull innovation has had since its introduction in 2005.

X-BOW: proven performance across every vessel type

Since its debut in 2005, the X-BOW has been adopted by a wide range of vessels and ship owners worldwide. What began in the Offshore Oil & Gas segment, serving anchor handling, supply, rescue, seismic, subsea construction and heavy-lift operations, has expanded into many new markets.

Today, the X-BOW is used on ultra‑long‑distance towing vessels, walk‑to‑work and service operation vessels, subsea rock installation ships, exploration cruise vessels, RoPax ferries, yachts, fishing trawlers, and short‑sea cargo vessels, including container feeders, open‑hatch carriers, heavy lifters, car carriers, and chemical and gas tankers.

Its versatility and performance make X-BOW a defining solution across modern maritime operations.

It’s a totally different experience! In big seas, I kept waiting for the slamming, but it never came. You don’t feel the sea, you have to relearn how to interpret the vessel behaviour. Other ships can only keep half the speed.
