A new kind of bulb called Stern-End-Bulb(SEB) for the improvement of the after part of fine hull forms was developed. The reduction of wave resistance and the improvement of the powering performance for the ship with SEB were shown by the ship model tests, At the same time, the characteristics of wave in the vicinity of the stern and the mechanism of the resistance reduction by SEB were investigated. By the systematical variation of the SEB size, the optimum size of SEB was obtained.
