DESCRIPTION
• A hull is the watertight body of
a ship or boat.

• The skin and framework are

usually made of steel and
secured by welding.

• 2 type of hull :
- Single hull
- Double hull

• ‘V-shaped’ hull
 FUNCTION

The hull of a ship is the most notable structural entity of

the ship. To define the hull, it can be said that it is the
watertight enclosure of the ship, which protects the
cargo, machinery, and accommodation spaces of the
ship from the weather, flooding, and structural damage.

SINGLE HULL

 Single hull has only one

outer watertight layer
which runs throughout the
structure of the ship.
DOUBLE HULL

• A double hull is a ship

hull design and
construction method where
the bottom and sides of the
ship have two complete
layers of watertight hull
surface.
 EXTRA KNOWLEDGE

Historically, tankers carrying oil were built with a

single hull, or single shell. While we measure oil in barrels,
it is not actually shipped that way. Instead, oil is pumped
into huge tanks that are part of the structure of tankers and
barges.

 
Due to the additional environmental risk involved in
operating single-hulled tankers, these vessels have
been banned from carrying heavy grade oil to and from
European ports.
