DAMEN FAST FERRY 4212

A fuel-efficient catamaran ferry from the distinguished shipyard

Despite its international renown, Damen Shipyards remains a family company that is fully invested in creating innovative products that fulfill their client’s needs. Known for high quality, efficiency and staying power, Damen is definitively a global leader in the shipbuilding industry.

For the Fast Ferry 4212, the Netherlands-based shipyard sought to create a fuel-efficient ship perfectly suited to public transportation. As a result, the catamaran ferry can comfortably transport 445 passengers (300 on the main deck and 150 on the upper) and offers LCD screens for passenger entertainment, a comprehensive ventilation system for passenger comfort as well as beverage kiosks and wheelchair access for disabled passengers.

The 5383-H116 aluminum alloy hull includes anti-vibration damping mounts to ensure a comfortable passenger experience, and the vessel meets the international code of safety for High Speed Craft (IMO HSC 2000 category A compliant). It is equipped with four MTU 16V2000 M72 diesel engines rated at 1,440kW of output power each with a performance of 40.6 knots at 26 tons deadweight.
