Rauma-Repola Offers

Brochure On Unique

RO-Pass Ship Concept

Rauma-Repola shipyard in Fin- land has just published a full-color, 8-page brochure describing its RO-

Pass vessel design, which includes a series of vessels that carry both pas- sengers and cargo. The design is basically a roll-on/roll-off ship with provisions for varied passenger and vehicle capacities to suit the needs of different functions and routes.

The brochure contains a cutaway drawing of a RO-Pass vessel, and outboard profiles of the design in various concepts. It also has color renderings of some of the passenger facilities.

A RO-Pass ferry would incorpo- rate a wide stern ramp, fixed inte- rior ramps port and starboard to the upper deck and at the centerline to the lower hold, stacks located exte- rior to the vessel's hull, and obstruc- tion-free cargo areas without pil- lars.
