Double Ender Ferry Cat 150

This ferry is planned as a 150 feet concept design to run between Palau and Archipelago di Maddalena which is one of the most beautiful places on Earth in the North East of Sardinia Island. The key design drivers were identified as: Vessel to be safe and easy to maintain and operate, to be a double ender catamaran with “electric bike” carrying feature, to have good seakeeping and be able to operate in waves of up to 5 metres maximum height. Twin azimuthing thrusters were selected for main propulsion, because of the high degree of manoeuvrability afforded to the ferry and the ability to move sideways with full bollard pull. It is believed that this ferry design could have wide application in touristic areas where a short range small vessel is required to operate.
