New catamaran ferry
Design number IC11083 will be the fourth vessel for Tanzania-based operator Costal Fast Ferries
Following the launch of “Kilimanjaro III” last year, Coastal Fast Ferries has continued to grow its operation. To be named “Kilimanjaro IV”, the new 45m-long and 11.5m-wide vessel will have capacities for some 650 passengers.
The main deck has two partitioned passenger spaces – an 86-seat business class cabin, and a 168-seat economy class cabin. Upstairs is a premium class cabin with 92 seats. All three of these cabins have their own independent boarding ramps on both sides of the vessel. Additional boarding is provided on the upper deck aft.
Exterior economy class seating is provided on the upper aft deck (130 seats) and on the roof deck (90 seats).
In addition to the increased passenger capacity, the vessel is said to be notable for its large main deck luggage room, capable of carrying 32 suitcase carts. This room also gives the operator freight transfer capacity. Crew accommodation is provided in the hulls, with four twin cabins and a bathroom.
The vessel will have a service speed of 34 knots, and a maximum speed of 36 knots.
