ARRANGEMENT

The Pentamaran is a new hull concept for fast freight and car ferry applications.

Details on the new ves- sel design were released in a paper pre- sented at the 13th Fast

Ferry International exhibition, held earlier this year in Singapore.

The paper was pre- pared by: Nigel Gee, managing director,

Nigel Gee & Associates

Ltd.; Edward

Dudson, senior naval architect, Nigel Gee &

Associates Ltd.;

Anthony Marchant, managing director,

CETEC Consultancy

Ltd.; and Hans

Steiger, chairman,

Norasia Services SA.

The development of the vessel started with an owner's inquiry to

Nigel Gee & Associates

Ltd. in 1995. The owner wanted a fast freight vessel capable of carrying 13,000 tons of cargo at 30 knots, while using an installed power of only 30 MW.

The owner also specified that the cost of the new vessel not exceed $30 million. >m
