SuperFast Ferries
SSW entered a new era in their history of building extraordinary ferries end of 1993. The yard was entrusted with the construction of superfast ro/ro car/passenger ferries to operate between Patras/Greece and Ancona/Italy.
To bridge this vital link between Northern Europe and Greece in the sense of EC international trade connections, the ships service at high speed has to allow for daily departures at both ports, i.e. to maintain a 20-hour transit the ferries would have to operate with a service speed of abt. 27 knots.
Examples:
- SUPERFAST II
Mediterranian cross ferry
Built 1995
Allround Combi Carrier
We design and build combination carriers, which can operate on special routes to serve both customers who are transporting their products by rail cars and those who are using trucks.
Examples:
- ROBIN HOOD
Baltic Sea cross carrier
Built 1988
Railway Ferries
SSW has built a series of railway ferries for Baltic Sea services and has one of world's largest railway ferries to its credit.
