SeaBridge pentamaran project for US coastal service

摘要

Leading European ship design consultancy BMT Nigel Gee & Associates is involved in an innovative fast ferry project aimed at helping reduce growing road traffic congestion on US highways. The company, based in Southampton, UK, has just completed the detailed design for a large, high-speed ro-pax pentamaran vessel for the American company SeaBridge USA Inc. This company is planning to establish a fleet of up to 12 fast ro-ro ferries to carry trucks, cars, and passengers between major port cities, initially, along so-far unserved stretches of US East and Gulf coasts.
