The invention relates to a course-stable, fast, seagoing ship comprising a hull that is optimized for a rudder propeller. The inventive ship has a hull designated for accommodating cargo or passengers and has at least one rotatable, preferably electric rudder propeller (POD) (6) which is arranged under the hull of the ship in a gondola-like manner and which comprises at least one motor generator unit for supplying power. Said motor generator unit is arranged in the hull of the ship, whereby the hull of the ship has, at least in part, a bottom (11) which slopes upward approximately to both sides of the hull. The front portion of the hull is designed to stabilize the course and movement of the ship and terminates underwater, in particular, with a relatively narrow bow (2) comprising a bulb (3). In addition, a flow guide body (skeg) (8) which is provided for optimizing the maneuverability characteristics as well as for optimizing the flow against the rudder propeller (6) is arranged in front of each rudder propeller. Said flow guide body has a volume of displacement for the water flowing against the respective rudder propeller.
