CINDERELLA

Marinteknik

Last year, City Jet Line, a newly formed ferry company based in

Stockholm, took delivery of the 137 Vi -foot fast ferry/day cruise boat

Cinderella from Marinteknik Ver- stads AB, Oregrund, Sweden.

The Cinderella, a double deck fer- ry with a passenger capacity of 450, operates on a 60-nautical mile route from Stockholm to the Stockholm

Archipelago.

The Cinderella differs from pre- vious archipelago craft in that she is reportedly the first to use waterjet propulsion. With a cruising speed of 22 knots, she is powered by four

Scania DSI 14 engines. The engines drive two Marinjet waterjets sup- plied by Marinejet Power System.

The upper deck of the Cinderella is an 85-seat restaurant. The ferry also has a cafeteria in her main saloon.
