High-speed Craft
A high-speed craft (HSC) is a high-speed water vessel for civilian use, also called a fastcraft or fast ferry. The first high-speed craft were often hydrofoils or hovercraft, but in the 1990s catamaran and monohull designs become more popular. Most high-speed craft serve as passenger ferries, but the largest catamarans and monohulls also carry cars, buses, large trucks and freight. In the 1990s there were a variety of builders, but due to HSC high fuel consumption, many shipbuilders have withdrawn from this market so the construction of the largest fast ferries, up to 127 metres, has been consolidated to two Australian companies, Austal of Perth and Incat of Hobart. There is still a wide variety of builders for smaller fast catamaran ferries between 24 and 60 metres. Hulled designs are often powered by pump-jets coupled to medium-speed diesel engines. Hovercraft are usually powered by gas turbines or diesel engines driving propellers and impellers. The design and safety ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It was very innovative at the time but it wasn't even clear whether the local waters would suit the hydrofoil boat, and there were problems to overcome. It made losses for two or three years but then they rolled the dice, decided to double up the service and buy another ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
