New bulbous bow fitted on Seago Antwerp (former Maersk Baltimore)

Can one simply cut off the bulbous bow of a ship and put another one on? Yes, it is actually possible. And you can save up to 5% fuel from doing it.

The first round of ‘nose jobs’ have already been done. In November, Maersk Buffalo and Maersk Baltimore underwent the surgery at Qingdao Shipyard in China, and since they are now being chartered out they also got new identities. They left the shipyard as Seago Bremerhaven and Seago Antwerp, respectively.
