Teknicraft Design has recently proposed the design for a 400-passenger aluminium catamaran commuter ferry.
The 36m vessel features the Teknicraft Design signature hull shape with symmetrical bow, asymmetrical tunnel, and integrated wave piercer. A Voith Linear Jet Propulsor has been specified to increase efficiency at the fully laden service speed of 28-30 knots.
The main deck is wheelchair-accessible and the passenger areas include designated seating space for families and those with disabilities. 58 bicycles may be stored between the foredeck and covered aft deck, and a food service kiosk is provided on the main deck for passenger convenience. 396 interior seats (half at tables) and 73 exterior seats provide comfort and seating options to commuters.
