Ship design – windshields
(and aerodynamic optimization)
- Short description
- What it includes
- Why it matters
Short description
Aerodynamic optimization reduces air resistance acting on the ship above the waterline. Windshields and fairings help smooth airflow around deck structures.
What it includes
- Installation of windshields or aerodynamic fairings
- Reduction of wind resistance on deck equipment
Why it matters
Lower air resistance reduces propulsion power demand, especially at higher speeds.
