A hull in particular for a container ship, a bulk carrier or a tanker comprising - an elevation of an outer contour of the hull with respect to an upwards directed vertical direction (z) of the hull in the region of a first and a second body plan (SP1, SP2) in relation to a surface section immediately adjoining to the elevation, wherein the elevation is arranged in a region between a middle and a stern of the hull and the elevation is located on a bottom side of the hull, characterized in that - the outer contour in the first body plan, which extends in a bow-side region of the elevation, comprises a first turning point and a second turning point and the outer contour in the first body plan reaches a maximum value with respect to the vertical direction (z) in a region of a center of the elevation, - the outer contour in the second body plan, which is located closer to the stern of the hull in relation to the first body plan, comprises a first depression with a third turning point and a fourth turning point centrally in the elevation, wherein the first depression is a part of a retaining device for a ship propeller shaft for receiving a ship propeller, - the outer contour in the second body plan comprises a fifth turning point and a sixth turning point, wherein the third turning point is located farther outwards with respect to the first depression transversely to the hull in relation to the fifth turning point and the fourth turning point is located farther outwards with respect to the first depression transversely to the hull in relation to the sixth turning point, - the outer contour comprises a seventh turning point in a longitudinal section of the hull along a preset central line of the elevation on the bow-side in the region of the elevation and transitions from the elevation into the first depression over an eighth turning point on the stern-side, - a vertical position of the elevation adapts to a vertical position of the surface section adjoining thereto at the stern-side end of the elevation along the longitudinal section in the direction of the stern. - an elevation of an outer contour of the hull with respect to an upwards directed vertical direction (z) of the hull in the region of a first and a second body plan (SP1, SP2) in relation to a surface section immediately adjoining to the elevation, wherein the elevation is arranged in a region between a middle and a stern of the hull and the elevation is located on a bottom side of the hull, characterized in that - the outer contour in the first body plan, which extends in a bow-side region of the elevation, comprises a first turning point and a second turning point and the outer contour in the first body plan reaches a maximum value with respect to the vertical direction (z) in a region of a center of the elevation, - the outer contour in the second body plan, which is located closer to the stern of the hull in relation to the first body plan, comprises a first depression with a third turning point and a fourth turning point centrally in the elevation, wherein the first depression is a part of a retaining device for a ship propeller shaft for receiving a ship propeller, - the outer contour in the second body plan comprises a fifth turning point and a sixth turning point, wherein the third turning point is located farther outwards with respect to the first depression transversely to the hull in relation to the fifth turning point and the fourth turning point is located farther outwards with respect to the first depression transversely to the hull in relation to the sixth turning point, - the outer contour comprises a seventh turning point in a longitudinal section of the hull along a preset central line of the elevation on the bow-side in the region of the elevation and transitions from the elevation into the first depression over an eighth turning point on the stern-side, - a vertical position of the elevation adapts to a vertical position of the surface section adjoining thereto at the stern-side end of the elevation along the longitudinal section in the direction of the stern.
