New ferry MV Safari....

The design of that thing, this is a boat not a ship.

Check out the differences on the many forums online.
Whether a boat or a ship, the design principles are the same. The difference comes in when considering what you will be using the ship/boat for.

There is something called the draught of a ship, which is basically the distance from the keel (bottom of the ship) to the water line.

For ships that will be operating in shallow waters, the draught also has to be small. But this also affects other things such as how much the ship can be loaded with, and how fast it can go.

Also, the design of the hull will have to be considered.

And the keel determines how stable a vessel is in water.

The small fishing boats at the creek have a keel almost twice the height of the boat above water levels, that way no toppling over when reeling in that 400kg tuna.

But the glass bottom boats for marine park.. Try crossing the Reef na hio kitu, you will curse a good one.

You forget to account for the weight, size and capabilities of the ferries when determining whether it can cross oceans. A ferry has the ability to take in water for ballasting purposes where as that flat bottomed boat cannot. That means it can deepen its draft, allowing it to be stable in rough water. Also, just by the sheer size and weight of the ferry, it will have different characteristics to the glass bottomed boat.


This is how the allies were able to land tanks directly onto the beach during their various wars...
