Most ferries and ro-pax vessels have unique designs based on their route, freight and passenger capacity as well as onboard services. Based on the experience we have gained from hundreds of ferry concepts, we at Deltamarin know how to meet the targets of the client cost-effectively, resulting in an optimised vessel design.

Deltamarin has been doing systematic R&D work for years with the aim of developing solutions for typical ferry design challenges that cover areas like fuel efficiency, safety and the “Safe Return to Port” (SRtP) rule. We apply the newest technologies to our designs once they have proven to bring real added value to the ship-owner and operator.

The client’s unique vessel concept is developed with a focus on future-proof design in terms of environmental performance and low emission footprint. Deltamarin offers highly optimised ship systems and hull form enabled by our excellent hydrodynamics and energy expertise. Read more about our extensive know-how in energy efficiency.
