Fast Ferry Delivered to Zhuhai High Speed Ferry Company
Afai Southern Shipyard (Panyu Guangzhou) Ltd. and CoCo Yachts B.V. announced that the second of the two new fast ferries, Hai Jing, was delivered to Zhuhai High Speed Ferry Company on April 22, 2016. During the sea trials a top speed of 38 knots at full load was measured.
According to the builder, special attention has been given to ensure high level of outfitting in the passenger accommodation, both on main and upper deck. Both exterior color design and interior design has been made by Spear Green from Australia. With noise levels of average 74 dB(a) on main deck and 70 dB(a) on the upper deck, it is a great vessel to travel.
Coco Yachts and Afai Southern Shipyard have cooperated on several projects since 2012. Coco Yachts is responsible for the basic design, including hull lines, construction drawings, weight calculation, power-speed calculations, FEM structural calculations and noise and vibrations calculations, while Afai Southern Shipyard is responsible for the production drawings for construction, machinery and systems.
There are presently five more CoCo Yachts’ designed fast ferries under construction at AFAI Southern Shipyard. One Coastal Cruiser 322 for Cosco Xiamen, one Coastal Cruiser 199 and one Coastal Cruiser 300 for Peng Xing Ferry Company, one Coastal Cruiser 300 for Zhuhai ferries and one Coastal Cruiser 298 for Sanya.
