The brainchild of Italian designer Sebastiano Ercoli, the “Fast ferry” is a monohull High Speed Craft (HSC) optimized for short routes in the Mediterranean Sea, where efficiency is more important than mere speed. Featuring a specific seat module, the HSC provides handles for a safe walk during navigation, a high chair back that satisfies safety rules for level-2 HSCs and ground space for storing heavy luggage. Composed by a reduced number of components for ease of installation, maintenance and disposal, the ferry is characterized by a harmonic collaboration among its parts. Measuring 63m in length and 9m in width, the HSC can carry 700 passengers plus 5 crew members and can reach the top speed of 30kn.
