Cargo ships are designed with flat bottoms to maximize stability and facilitate loading and unloading operations. A flat-bottomed hull provides a larger surface area that allows the ship to sit more securely on the water, especially when at dock. This design also enables more efficient use of space for cargo storage, making it easier to stack containers and optimize weight distribution. Additionally, a flat bottom can reduce draft, allowing the ship to navigate shallower waters.
