The SWATH concept is described, variations and design trade-offs are discussed, and the potential performance is analyzed. Results of tests on models and on the 217-ton prototype SSP KAIMALINO are presented. Future applications are discussed. The advantages of SWATH ships over conventional monohulls vary depending upon the application, but in general they are; greatly reduced motion in waves, both underway and at rest; larger deck area and internal volume; and reduced drag in the higher sea states.
