Over the last decade, the displacement catamaran has become the hull form of choice for large (greater than 100 ft (30m)) high-speed passenger ferries.  For high-speed ferries smaller than this, the HYSUCAT hybrid catamaran is an ideal choice.  The damping characteristic of the hydrofoil provides superior passenger comfort, wake reduction is an important environmental consideration as ferries operate in confined and congested waterways, increased deck space (passenger accommodation) and high, fuel-efficient operating speeds all combine for an improved Transport Efficiency.
