1998 Custom High speed monohull passenger & vehicle ferry Commercial in |CITY|, |STATE_CODE|

SELLER DESCRIPTION

These unique 478' vessels are among the largest and fastest ferries available with cruising speeds of 40 knots. Significant marine engineering efforts and leading edge ship design were utilized to create a smooth and safe high speed ride even in an agitated and rough sea state. This was accomplished with a combination of advanced construction techniques to create a low center of gravity and a tremendously strong hull structure and a computer-controlled double set of active fin stabilizers. The result is a smooth, high speed ride, huge payload capability and high passenger capacity. These vessels are simply magnificent feats of engineering, design and construction. Several sisterships are available. The vessels are fully operational, have full current certifications and classification and are ready to go to work. They are available at a small fraction of their original cost. Try an offer of 29 Million Euros.Contact Rob Lager at 516-767-0141 for further information.

Accomodations:
1800 Passengers and 450 cars can be transported. The vessel is able to load 30 busses or trailers plus 100 cars, alternatively. There are two stern doors with ramp and passenger doors for entry.These monohull ferries each have six decks, three of which are reserved for passengers, while the remaining three are vehicle decks that can be accessed by a stern door. Fully air conditioned. Bar. Access to deck. Large halls with fitted carpets and armchairs reclining up to 85% make the stabilized passage a pleasant one. DETAILS:The ship has a transport capacity of 1800 passengers with a total of 2000 seats, as well as accommodation for 550 club class passengers on the upper passenger deck. Passenger embarking/disembarking operation is carried out through the stern passenger ramp to the main garage deck and an escalator connects this deck to the main and upper passenger decks. Drivers will reach passenger lounges through stairs and/or two 12-person capacity elevators. Passenger lounges are reached by means of reversible escalators and elevators, thus reducing boarding and alighting time. The vessel is designed to evacuate all people on-board in less than 15min.The ship has a transport capacity of 460 cars. The three garage decks can be loaded simultaneously. In case of freight transportation, the ship transport capacity will be 30 trucks, each weighing 30t, plus 100 cars (mainly on the lower garage deck). For increased safety, the installation of bow doors has been obviated, with the loading and unloading of vehicles taking place through two stern doors, necessitating a complete U-turn of cars. The two stern door/ramps are designed to embark/disembark trucks of 45t (15t axle load). Modular hydraulic operated hoistable decks allow a clear height above the main garage deck of 4.4m.

Mechanical Equipment:
Four diesel engines and two gas turbines supply the power of 95,000hp. The gas turbines are connected to the two booster waterjets, while the diesels are connected to the biggest steering water jets ever then built. The four diesel engines are MTU 20V 1163 20V TB73 L units rated 6,500kW each and the two gas turbines are LM 2500 systems rated at 22,000kW each. The system includes two double inlet reduction gears (diesel shafts), two reduction gears (gas turbines), two booster waterjets (gas turbines) and two wing steering waterjets (diesel shafts). Two bow thrusters. The high flexibility of the propulsion system allows the ship to have three operative speeds.

Electrical System:
