Examples refer to a ballastless cargo vessel that comprises a hull having an upper body and lower body, the upper body having a substantially rectangular cross section and the lower body having a substantially V-shaped cross section. The vessel further comprises cargo spaces in correspondence with the upper body and void spaces in correspondence with the lower body. Having a pre-defined parameter that is selected among a maximum draft, a minimum draft and a maximum beam of the vessel, the geometry of the vessel is defined by: a ratio between a width of a flat bottom and a maximum waterplane area of the vessel that ranges between 0 and 0.7, a ratio between a submerged draft of the upper body and a maximum draft of the vessel that ranges between 0 and 0.7, and a midship section coefficient of the vessel that ranges between 0.65 and 0.85.
