AIthough high-speed ferries have been in use for passenger transport since 1953, it has only been in the last 30 years that the market has witnessed rapid movement towards ever newer and larger designs of vessel. It was the hydrofoils in particular - often the subject of amusement as well as admiration as the oddities of the shipping industry - that set new standards. Only in the last decade have they been pushed out by other types of vessel, catamarans in particular.
The Era of the Hydrofoil
The Sixties were very much the era of the hydrofoil. Most were built in Europe - mainly in Italy and the USSR. But there were a few shipyards inAsia (in Japan and Hong Kong for example) which were involved indevelopment and production. The hydrofoil builders in the former USSR used home-produced engines and designed mainly shallow water vessels for use on rivers and lakes. The Italian hydrofoils on the other hand, most of which were built at the Cantieri Navali Rodriguez shipyard, were all sea-going designs and without exception were powered by MTU 12V 493 engines, at that time the "workhorse" for this type of craft.
The trend in high-speed passenger ferries is moving towards ever bigger and faster boats for combined transport of passengers and vehicles.

MTU Lifts Even the Biggest Hydrofoils out of the Water
The biggest hydrofoils were built in 1969 in Norway and had a capacity of 250 passengers and a weight of around 170 tones. They needed two MTU 20V 538 engines to attain a speed of 36 knots. They also required a torque converter developed by MTU for the take-off operation. This particular design marked the pinnacle of hydrofoil development. Operators, however, complained of the high running costs. The cause of what today are referred to as high "life cycle costs" was, however, not so much the power unit but the overall design of those unconventional vessels.
Catamarans Offer an Alternative
When looking for more economical alternatives, Norwegian designers re-discovered the catamaran. The first vessel of this type built in Norway was a high-speed craft with the hull split down its centre line and the two halves joined by a bridge. Once again, it was powered by two 12-cylinder Series 493 engines. In the Seventies, the Series 493 engines were gradually superseded by the Series 396.

Reliability and Availability Mean Satisfied Customers
MTU has always paid special attention to the high-speed ferries market sector. Engines have been continually improved on the basis of analyses of operating data in order to satisfy the demands of the operators with regard to reliability and availability. Today, there are more than 1,500 Series 396 and 4000 engines in use in high-speed ferries around the world.
Bigger, Faster, Further
The last eight years have seen the emergence of even bigger ferries. They are designed as sea-going vessels for use on longer routes and are capable of carrying not only passengers but also cars, trucks and coaches. The leaders in the development of this new generation of ferries are the Australian shipyards producing catamarans from 74m up to 112m. Even 126m trimarans are available. Other shipyards have concentrated on monohulls up to a length of 146m. Speed target of most ferries is at approx. 40 knots.
Today, most catamarans in the 40m to 50m class are fitted with twin or quadruple 16V 396 or 16V 4000 engines. Depending on weight and size, the 4,000 kW or 9,280 kW of power those engines provide enable them to achieve operating speeds from approx. 30 to 40 knots.

In the summer of 1994, the first "Aquastrada" class ferry, the "Guizzo", started scheduled service between Italy and Sardinia. The slim, 101m monohull design is powered by an MTU combined diesel and gas turbine propulsion system. Apart from the diesel engines, MTU also supplied the General Electric gas turbines and all accessories. This year, the "Guizzo" and its sister ship, the "Scatto", will continue to ply between the Italian mainland and Sardinia. For the sun seeking tourists, these two ferries shorten the crossing to only a few hours. And they don't have to leave their cars behind either because Aquastrada class ferries not only have space for 450 passengers but for around 150 cars as well. From the small hydrofoil to the catamaran and ultimately the superfast jumbo ferry, the developments over the past 30 years have been impressive and MTU is proud to have been part of them. And the Friedrichshafen engine manufacturers are determined to continue to be involved in shaping future developments with new ideas and products which will meet the demands and expectations of shipbuilders and operators.

By the engine Series 595, 1163 and 8000, MTU offer a range of power units with outputs of up to 9,100 kW whose characteristics make them ideally suited for use in high-speed ferries.
As a result of the desire to be able to transport not only people but vehicles as well, the start of the Nineties saw increasingly lively demand for bigger ferries with lengths of over 75m. While the smaller vessels are normallyequipped by two to four engines and a total output of 4,000 kW to 10,000 kW, the big ferries require between 20,000 kW and 36,000 kW and in some cases considerably more.Such demands can be satisfied by the use of powerful diesel engines and/or gas turbines in various propulsion system configurations. In most cases - for reasons of economy - they are all-diesel-systems, an area in which MTU hold a leading position with Series 8000 engines. But MTU's system know-how based on many years of experience can provide solutions for other types of propulsion requirements as well.

Of the many possible propulsion system configurations, the two described below are typical examples.
All-diesel systems using four engines have established themselves as the most economical alternative for high-speed ferries with speeds up to 45 knots. An all-diesel system has also been fitted in the “Tanger Jet II", a 86m catamaran whose 32,800 kW can bring the vessel to a top speed of 45 knots. Each of the engines 20V 8000 drives a steerable waterjet so that each unit is fully independent.

Combined systems of this type consisting of an LM2500 gas turbine with an output of 20,800 kW and two diesel engines each producing 3565 kW are fitted in the "Aquastrada I and II" class ferries. These are narrow single-hulled vessels with a length of approximately 102m and are capable of a top speed of 44 knots with all three power units running, i.e. with a total power output of approx. 28,000 kW, while the cruising speed for normal operation is only slightly lower. The advantage of this type of arrangement is that the gas turbine only needs to be used at the top end of the power range where it is at its best while the diesel engines can be used for maneuvering and slow speeds. And during the low season or at night, the two 16V 595s are quite capable of an economical 18 knots.

The transport capacity, vessel length as well as speed and, thus, the power requirements for fast ferries, have increased over the years. Whereas 20,000 kW was adequate in the early '90s, the power required for diesel-driven fast ferries has increased considerably over the last two years.
In order to service routes which are of commercial interest, the majority of such vessels in the future will have a length of 90 to 130 m and a service speed of 40 to 45 knots; this will require propulsion power in excess of 35,000 kW. Power plants with four diesels will command a dominating position.
Total power of 40,000 kW or more will continue to be provided through power plants with combined diesel engines and gas turbines.
