Thank you for your comments. It's all about the forward hull shape, obviously, but I used to see this "perky" hawse pipes only on small Japanese coasters before...
Structure-wise, they are made of steel plates, with their tips being made of cast steel, to survive the punishment they will be exposed to during their lifetime...

Cheers

Vlad

Thanks, Sophie! :)
"Front Dynamic" has been moved right next to the "Babylon" - you can see part of her hull. A bit rainy and windy here in Mokpo, too, but I don't complain!

Captain Ted, it's been a long time! Thanks for your comment, and great to have you back!

Cheers

Vlad

Lappino, I'm sending a 'Good day wish' to you -as I guess, you're in Korea now and here the sun broke through the clouds this morning-no second perfect reason to be happy!
'Front Dynamic' must be moved somewhere, and new baby came :)

I think they will not allow you to drive a Daewoo when you work for Hyundai and vice versa.
Cheers,
