  Naval architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Platform supply vessels: (mainly ships to supply and assist oil rigs), Commonly used criteria are: deadweight, cargo tank volume, speed, bollard pull, max.
Monohulls accomplish this by transitioning from a displacement-mode where the entire weight of the vessel is supported by the force of the water displaced by the hull (see Archimedes) to a dynamic lift mode where only part of the vessel is supported by the static force of the water displaced.
On smaller vessels designed for cruising (as opposed to racing) the ability to smoothly handle rough seas and (particularly in sailing vessels) stormy wind conditions without imposing extreme pilot skills or attention is highly desired.
