A total of 25 crew cab- ins are located at the forward end of deck nine.

Big Capacity at High Speeds

Reflecting the trend toward higher- speed RoRo vessels, the sister vessels have a service speed of in excess of 20.5 knots and a trial speed of 22 knots at 90 percent MCR. The propulsion machin- ery is based on four main engines, each with an output of 5,760 kW (7,720 bhp) at 510 rpm. The combination of four main engines and twin CP propellers was selected as the most flexible option.

The engines drive the propellers through twin-input/single-output gearboxes with power take-offs for 1,600 kVA shaft alternators. Three 870 kW gensets, dri- ven by auxiliary engines, provide suffi- cient electricity for use in port, and when the twin 1,200 kW bowthrusters are in use. Together with the bowthrusters, a pair of flap rudders guarantee excellent maneuverability.

The vessels are equipped with large sur- face-area fin stabilizers. An active anti- heeling system, which has a pump capacity of 3,000 tons/hr., is also installed.
