      The unusual bow shape/design might be connected to the fact this vessel is Beached sometimes when spraying sand /etc from the front jet nozzle

      Needs research! I will contact for the sheer hell of it.

      No response - what you unfortunately expect from some firms!

    I think these were fitted because the anchors would hit the bulbous bow on the way down. Maybe a design fault.

      More info she was Converted to TSHD in 2001 Rebuilt in 2012 maybe this conversation warranted the change in design?
