The Princess Royal has a twin hull, deep-vee form with each hull having a bulbous bow. The hull form aims to improve seakeeping, stability and fuel efficiency [6] and was designed by the School of Marine Science and Technology at Newcastle University. The ship was built by Alnmarintec in Blyth [2] to MCA category 2 requirements and is constructed from aluminium alloy. [6]
