An Analysis of Basic Parameters of Ro-Pax Ships and Double-ended Ferries as Basis for New Hybrid Ferries Designs

The paper presents an analysis of the basic parameters of Ro-Pax ships and double-ended ferries. The study was carried out within the framework of the project METRO (Maritime Environment- friendly TRanspOrt systems), funded from 2014-2020 Interreg V-A Italy- Croatia CBC Programme. The aim of the project is an improvement of the environmental sustainability in the field of maritime transport, with particular emphasis on multimodality and “green” solutions for the coastal transport. The specific focus is on touristic connections in the North Adriatic area. One of the project goals is a development of short-medium range hybrid ships and of concern are Ro-Pax ships and double-ended ferries, which are the most common ship types for coastal shipping in the Adriatic area. Two extensive databases were created encompassing a large number of ferries that operate in Europe, by one for each ship type. The databases will serve as basis for the preliminary design of the new hybrid Ro-Pax ship and double-ended ferry.
