The effect of different bow shapes on the added resistance in waves was observed through a series of model tests. To this end, three different hull forms of KRISO Very Large Crude Carrier 2 were considered: an original hull form and two modified hulls with different bow shapes, called ax-bow and leadge-bow. The model tests were conducted for a wide range of wavelengths with two wave amplitudes in a regular head-sea condition at the design speed. Each test condition was imposed at least twice in order to check the repeatability of measurement, considering the uncertainties in model test and the nonlinear nature of the added resistance. This article introduces a preliminary study on the effects of surge motion, amplitude of incident wave, and green-water allowance around bow region. This article briefly includes the uncertainty analysis of recent study regarding the performance of the original hull. Based on the results of the experimental study for three different bow shapes, the parameters which influence the added resistance and motion responses are discussed.
