A vessel (10) comprising a hull (15) having a the Longitudinal Centre of Flotation (LCF) at the design load waterline (25) at rest with a value of less than about 35% of the vessel waterline length measured from the aftermost point (19) of the vessel waterline. The design vessel speed at design load waterline is at or above Froude Number of 0.45. The hull (15) has a length-to-beam ratio on the design waterline of greater than about 8.0. The Longitudinal Centre of Buoyancy (LCB) is between about 30% and 45% of the vessel waterline length measured from the aftermost point (19) of the vessel waterline (25).
