Background:

The emergence of fast ferries is a prime example of how the transport industry is constantly changing. This exciting sector developed because there was a continuing need for moving large numbers of people quickly across various bodies of water.

From the 1960s onwards, different ship3+yards have been innovating to build high-speed passenger vessels, and in the earlier days, they were often hydrofoils or even hovercraft. However, from the 1990s high-speed catamaran ferries have dominated the sector. These types of hull shapes have twin hulls that are long and slender, which allows for transverse stability but also higher speeds due to the narrow hulls.

Passenger transport could be across the sea, a lake or even along a river. Each environment demands different design approaches, for example, a rivercat requires a hull form that generates small waves to prevent erosion of river banks. Alternatively, a sea-going high-speed ferry needs to operate in rough seas and deliver their passengers in comfort. Now, the focus is also often on sustainably powered fast ferries that have low or even zero emissions.

Finding an innovative and also reliable fast-ferry builder that can take care of these challenges is not easy, however, in this article, we will outline what to look for when building your next ferry.
