Noise levels are maintained at 76 dB(A) in the main saloon, 72 dB(A) in the upper saloon, and 66 dB(A) in the wheelhouse.

Performance and Comfort
The ferry is equipped with a full ride control system by Maritime Dynamics, featuring a bow T-foil and stern trim flap on each hull, ensuring superior comfort and smooth rides in sea conditions up to sea-state 4. The hull design minimizes wake-wash even at high speeds.

The ferry uses gas turbine propulsion with twin AlliedSignal TF40 turbines mounted in each hull. These are connected to a Cincinnati MA 107 gearbox, reducing turbine input speed from 15,400 rpm to 765 rpm for the MJP 950 waterjet. Independent clutches allow for single turbine operation and quick re-engagement of the second unit.
