Hotspots

1

Double End

A double-ended ferry is one where vehicles are loaded on and off at both ends of the vessel and the direction of travel switches so that the bow becomes the stern.

2

Safety

The greatest argument for the use of a double-ended ferry is when the route is short, for example, river crossings. This all contributes to safety, a critical factor for any ferry.

3

Double End Propulsion

With one bridge house in the centre of the vessel, the bow and stern propulsion can simply and quickly be changed during a port call.

4

Accommodation

Spacious restaurants, shops, seating areas and toilets can be located above the RoRo deck.

5

Engine System

The most commonly utilised engine system today is either Diesel, GAS (LNG) or Electrical Power driven.
