TWIN AXE TECHNOLOGY Based on Catamaran-version of “Damen Sea Axe”
Five years research with: - Delft University - Royal Netherlands Navy - Maritime Research Institute - US Coast Guard Compared to conventional ships: - Peak accelerations 50% to 75% less - Flat water resistance 10-15% less - Added resistance in waves 60% less “Sea Axe” ships: - > 100 in service - ± 40 under construction
