The term 'ugliest ship' gets bandied about quite a bit, from boxy car carriers to gargantuan cruise ships (aka fanny tankers )

But these seismic survey ships get my vote, they're vile looking.

Its like a ScFi starship. Also reminds me of Nelson and Rodney truncated design.

That is one ugly ship. How the hell do you put her along side? Is it stern to the quay?

Am I the only one that actually likes that ship, but I think they missed a serious design opportunity.

Whatever about the seismic ship, the late Steve Job's yacht is one of the ugkiest for me here.

More Maersk propaganda for their new triple E ships. Bigger ships, fewer crews is what they don't tell you!
