Spain’s Armon Shipyard has handed over a new fast catamaran ferry to French shipping company the Sogestran Group for operation by its subsidiary Morlenn Express.<\/p>\n

Bindy II<\/em> was designed by French naval architecture firm Mauric. She was built in fulfilment of an order placed by Morlenn Express in 2023 as part of its fleet renewal strategy.<\/p>\n

The all-aluminium ferry features a wave-piercing hull form and is capable of transporting 400 passengers. She can reach speeds of up to 20 knots thanks to her IMO Tier III-compliant main engines.<\/p>\n

Extruded aluminium deck panels incorporating very thin plating and stiffeners allowed for significant savings in both structural weight and fuel consumption, according to Mauric.<\/p>\n

Hydrodynamic optimisation of the hull lines and the propulsion arrangement enables Bindy II<\/em> to operate at notably low installed power. Mauric said daily fuel consumption has been substantially reduced compared to the previous generation of vessels the new catamaran is set to replace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
