Bob,

Whilst maybe not a complete answer, I can quote the comment from the design team:

"The design of the funnel is out of the ordinary, including two wings, leading the exhaust gas pipes horizontally to both sides. The first vessel in the fleet to obtain this feature was the Evinco. Although it gives a futuristic impression, the design is quite functional. On the earlier vessels the parabolic antennas were situated on the roof of the bridge, but on certain headings the radar mast caused a blind sector with bad reception. By situating the antennas on the wings of the funnel there are fewer obstacles near them.

There is one antenna on each funnel wing, one Seatel for reception of television signals and one for V-Sat satellite communication. The V-Sat system is being installed, and after completion it will enable broadband connection online via the ship-based wireless local area network. This also enables ship-to-shore phone calls at the same cost as Swedish local calls."

It goes some way to explain the reasoning

Not sure Bob, I would have to ask around

Unusual funnel design, any reason for the shape?
