Abstract:This paper describes the design process of a high speed mono hull RoPax ferry which operates at a Froude number of 0.4. The design task was quite challenging, as two possible transport concepts were in principle possible: Two ships were needed with a total speed of 50knots, which could result in a combination of a 30kn high speed Catamaran plus a conventional 20kn RoPax Ferry or alternatively in two identical sister vessels of 25kn each. The solution with the high speed catamaran plus the conventional RoPax-Fe… Show more
