SVEA

Wartsila

The 33,830-gt passenger cruise ferry Svea was delivered this year by the Helsinki Shipyard of Wartsila

Oy to Oy Svea Line (Finland) AB.

The new vessel has an overall length of 551 feet, beam of 90.5 feet, and draft of 20.7 feet. Propulsion is pro- vided by four Wartsila/Pielstick 12PC2-6V medium-speed diesel en- gines, each developing 8,975 bhp.

Service speed is 22 knots.

The interiors of the Svea reflect the high standard set by the Finlan- dia Class built in 1981 for the Hel- sinki-Stockholm route. Passenger accommodations comprise 566 cab- ins with a capacity of 1,625 persons.

All cabins have individual climate control, temperature alarms, and shower/toilet facilities.

As the ferry will spend only about one hour in port, special attention has been paid to reducing the time required for loading and unloading the car decks, handling the provi- sions and stores, and discharging waste ashore. Vehicle capacity is 530 motor cars or, as an alternative, 60 long-distance trucks and 40 cars.

Careful consideration was also given to the special requirements posed by the part of the route that goes through the sensitive archipe- lage environment. These needs are mainly related to maneuverability and the minimization of wave gener- ation. The high total engine output of 17,950 bhp makes it possible to reduce speed in the archipelage, as the time lost can be made up on the open sea. The vessel complies with 42
