Derecktor's

Patricia Olivia II

Derecktor Shipyards has launched a new high-speed 149.6 ft. catamaran passenger ferry for the Argentinean company

Buquebus. Capable of operating speeds in excess of 52 knots, when fully loaded, this new vessel becomes the fastest passenger ferry of its class in the world.

Derecktor engineers work with the ferry operator, helping evalu- ate which vessel design best suits its application, based on passenger capacity, speed, length of route, prevailing sea conditions and oper- ating cost. Several arrangement and propulsion options allow max- imum customization of the vessel for its intended use. Derecktor fer- ries can be built to meet any clas- sification society requirements and all applicable government regula- tions. Designed by Nigel Gee and

Associates and styled by

Pininfarina, this catamaran has an interior by Julio Cesar Ortega.

This vessel is powered by twin

Detroit Diesel AlliedSignal TF80 turbines coupled with Cincinnati

MA107 gearboxes and MJP 950 waterjets. Choice of the TF100 power pack option would increase the operating speed to more than 61 knots.
