What is SWATH Vessel Design and Advantages about?

This document discusses small waterplane area twin hull (SWATH) ships. It describes the key features of SWATH ships including their twin hull design with struts connecting the upper and lower hulls. This design offers advantages like reduced motion in rough seas compared to monohulls. While SWATH ships have increased drag due to their larger wetted surface area. Examples of SWATH ships are also provided along with discussions of their hull forms, seakeeping abilities, propulsion systems and prime movers.
