Hybrid promises high speed with low power

Article Abstract:

SES Europe AS is developing a high-end shipbuilding design that combines the features of a catamaran and a surface effect ship (SES). Sources revealed that the Norwegian company has already developed a 23m-fast ferry prototype of the concept, which would allow ferries to accelerate beyond the 40 to 60 knot level. The system features the use of a low-resistance hull form, which permits ferries to operate on high speeds and low pressure while eliminating the need for flexible seals.

Designs on expansion

Article Abstract:

The Shanghai Merchant Ship Design and Research Institute (SDARI) has been instrumental in the growth of China's shipbuilding industry, providing operators with a comprehensive list of vessels. SDARI was actually initiated by CSSC to enable local shipbuilders to take advantage of novel designs. Over the years, the institute has considerably expanded with 400 staff working in various yards world-wide.
