A bulbous bow is a protruding bulb-like structure located at the front (bow) of a ship's hull, just below the waterline. Its primary purpose is to improve the vessel's hydrodynamics and overall performance in the water. The design of a bulbous bow helps to reduce wave resistance and increase fuel efficiency by altering the way water flows around the ship as it moves.
