Product catalog summary
Overview: The Derecktor 45m High Speed Ferry is a state-of-the-art catamaran designed by Nigel Gee Associates and styled by Pininfarina. It is recognized as the fastest passenger-only ferry in the world, capable of carrying 300 passengers at a service speed of 53 knots.
Specifications: The ferry measures 45.60 meters in length overall (LOA) and 40.15 meters at the waterline (LWL), with a beam of 11.80 meters and a draft of 1.80 meters. It has a deadweight of 42.5 tonnes and is powered by two Detroit TF 80 engines, each providing 5,535 kW at 15,400 rpm. The auxiliary power is supplied by two Northern Lights M668TH units, each generating 99 kW. The propulsion system includes two MJP 950-DD waterjets.
Design and Comfort: The ferry features a main deck with 244 airline-type reclining seats, a bar, a duty-free shop, and four toilets. The upper deck includes 48 seats, a VIP lounge, a small bar, and two toilets. 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. A full ride control system by Maritime Dynamics ensures a smooth ride in sea conditions up to sea-state 4.
Performance and Engineering: The ferry's gas turbine propulsion system includes twin AlliedSignal TF40 turbines mounted in each hull, connected to a Cincinnati MA 107 gearbox. This setup reduces the turbine input speed from 15,400 rpm to 765 rpm for the waterjets. The design allows for single turbine operation at lower speeds and quick re-engagement of the second turbine.
Construction and Standards: Built to the highest quality standards, the ferry complies with ABS, IMO HSC, and USCG Sub H regulations. Derecktor Shipyards is noted for its high standards in aluminum fabrication and machinery installation, contributing to the vessel's lightweight and efficient construction.
