Ship body with a free-running, elastic steven tube arrangement for the resilient mounting of the propeller shaft

摘要

The ship's hull with a cantilevered elastic stern tube arrangement for the elastic mounting of the tailshaft is extended in aft direction aft of the area of restraint of the stern tube (1) which is surrounded by the extended ship's hull in such a way that a direct coupling is avoided and an influence on its vibrational behaviour excluded so that the aftbody is shifted close towards the propeller 8 resulting in an increased overall propulsive efficiency and thus in an improvement of economy.
