Abstract
A multi-hulled vessel () configured as a trimaran. The multi-hulled vessel () comprises a main hull () and at least one outer hull () to each side of the main hull, the main hull () and each side hull () adjacent thereto being interconnected by a bridge structure (). The bridge structure () and the hulls () connected thereby cooperating to provide a deck surface () adapted to carry a load. The main hull) is configured to define at least one engine room () below the deck surface () and trunking () for provision of services to the engine room. The trunking () is routed below the area of the deck surface () required for carrying a load. Because the trunking () is routed below the area of the deck surface () required for load-carrying, it does not extend through that area of the deck surface to impede load movements. This is particularly applicable for air trunking () for the delivery of ventilation air to the engine room () and discharge of ventilation air from the engine room. The air trunking () comprises one or more intake air trunks () and one or more discharge air trunks ().
