The operation of marine vessels, especially large-tonnage ones, is accompanied by the occurrence of serious damage to hull structures within bow in stormy conditions. A new mechanism to explain the catastrophic destruction of the side grillages of large-tonnage ships in the area of the bow is proposed. Simulation of the process of flow around the fore end when it is digged in a wave using SPH technology showed that when the flow speeds around the fore end occur when the vessel moves in developed
