Hi! (first in german, sorry)
Da ich ja zum xten mal wieder mal auf N24 kleben geblieben bin, habe ich einen Bericht über die Kilo Moana gesehen. Ein Forschungsschiff der University of Hawaii.
Das besondere an diesem Schiff ist eine doch schon 70 Jahre alte Idee eines britischen Wissenschaftlers. Die sogenannte SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) Technik, die den Schiffen eine größeren Widerstand gegen Wellenbewegungen geben soll.
Als ich bei Wikipedia nach "SWATH" gesucht habe, fand ich auch weitere Schiffe mit dieser Technik. Es wäre ja nicht abwegig auch Passagierschiffen, Öl-Tanker etc. mit dieser Technik zu bauen. Ich glaube zwar nicht, dass diese Schiffe so extrem groß sein können wie eine Jahre Viking oder Queen Elisabeth II, jedoch immer noch groß genug um rentabel zu sein.
Es wäre doch nicht zu abwegig ein oder zwei Passagierschiffe ab 2000 oder 2010 bei Kara zum verkauf anzubieten. Vielleicht sogar einen Tanker.
Für eure Meinung wäre ich dankbar.
Hier der Wikipedia artikel:

Hi!
I've seen a documentary about the "Kilo Moana" vessel from the "University of Hawaii" on TV.
The special about this ship, is the "SWATH" technologie inveted by a britisch scientist, 70 years ago, which makes the ship more resisting against wave movement.
As I searched for "SWATH" on Wikipedia, I found some links to other ships, using the "SWATH" technology.
IMHO I think that it's possible to construct passenger ships or oil tanker with this art of build. OK, I also think, that they can't as great as "Jahre Viking" or "Queen Elisabeth II" but great enough to make them profitable.
So I think it's possible to let Kara sell ships with this special body type around 2000 or 2010.
Would be glad about your opinion!

but only for small ones.
imagine a container vessel with 13000 containers built in this form  _________________ Navigare neccesse est |

Your ship will become top heavy too when you load 13000 TUE on top of such a structure. Remember that a large part of a vessel is submerged. _________________ Freight Containers In The Port Of Antwerp |

i think it would be nice ship accessory for ships up to 15k dwt.
above it'll become unrealistic _________________ Navigare neccesse est |

I think it's not really an update. It's a kind of diffrent constrution type.
I only see a chance for an upgrade, if there's a catamaran type ship,
IMHO normal, single body ships, shouldn't be able to get an upgrade like SWATH technology.
I've found a sample for a SWATH Passengership.
It's called Asia Star (formally RSSC Diamond)
