Does anyone have some good photos/drawings of these 'unique' hull shapes that allow such great performance under displacement and 'semi-displacement' speeds?

This Nordic Tug 39 looks to be trying to get up to a planning form?....with 380-hp single engine.

I would think that a 'semi-displacement hull design' (if there is such a thing) should be able to do better than this. To me it appears to be a displacement hull form being pushed onward to a planning situation that it can't quite get to in totality? ...or perhaps it can, and just has arrived their yet.
Please don't be another poster that tries to guess at hull performance from still picture...it says so much about an individual.....
