About the Fast-Ferry in the world
(3) 100m Mono Hull type
Ship's name: Super Seacat
The Seacontainers invests the capital of not less than 200
million dollars in November, 1995.
An order for extensive construction of no
less than 6 boats with Fincantieri shipyard
in Italy was
placed at once, and it made us very surprise.
That is, it is thought that a catamaran takes the lead in future till then.
The company which is a world's largest Fast-Ferry
operator choose the Mono Hull Type
which have been used from ancient times by
no means.
Anyway, after completing the first ferry
in 1997, delivery still continues.
In order that the feature of this ship may
sail at high speed (40 knots : 74km/hour),
pushing away a wave on a Mono Hull
Compared with length (100m), it is a thin
hull (for Breadth, Seacat of 17.1m and Stena
is 40m).
Compared with the size of appearance, there
are a little few 782 passengers
and 175passenger cars numbers which can be
carried.
Although it can see only on the present Ireland route or the Denmark-Sweden route
It appears in the English Channel route still more from April 15, 2000.
