Abstract
The disclosure provides a wave sheltering vessel used to reduce the significant wave height of waves. The wave sheltering vessel includes a hull, a plurality of anchors, and a propeller system. A length of the hull is greater than or equal to 60 meters. A ratio of the length to a design draft of the hull is less than or equal to 6.5. A ratio of the length to a breadth of the hull is less than or equal to 3.5. A ratio of the breadth to the design draft of the hull is less than or equal to 2.3. The anchors are installed at the hull along a longitudinal direction of the hull. The propeller system is disposed at the hull.
