Craft's Name

Sea-going passenger hydrofoil vessel KOMETA 130M

Purpose

Intended for high-speed sea passenger transportation in moderate and tropical climate areas in replace hydrofoil projects Kometa, Kolkhida and Katran.
MAIN ADVANTAGES AGAINST HIGH-SPEED SHIPS OF OTHER TYPES (catamarans, catamarans with fore foil, air-cushion vessels, air-cavity vessels and monohulls, which able to transport same quantity of passengers at the hydrofoil speed)

• Reduced fuel consumption – total consumption is about 400 kg/hr at service speed of 35 knots • Better sea-keeping – hydrofoil can proceed foilborne at wave height upto 2m at speed 30…32 knots
MAIN ADVANTAGES AGAINST PREVIOUSLY DESIGNED HYDROFOILS OF “KOMETA”, “KOLKHIDA” AND “KATRAN” TYPE:
• Compliance with present Rules for high-speed ships (high-speed code), IMO regulations, MARPOL and other requirements including ISPS code
• Better comfort provided by:
• Availability of modern automatic stabilizer system made with aircraft technology – provides reducing of rolling and overloads in more than 2 times,
• Stern area no longer used as passenger saloon (reducing of noise and vibration),
• Modern design, which provide better viewing from fore saloon and bar,
• Bar is located astern and fitted with panoramic windows,
• Distance between the chairs increased upto 0,95 m,
• Gangway increased upto 0,7m (according to high-speed code),
• The luggage areas are moved to the engine room deck,
• Installation of colored heat-absorbing windows allows to reduce aircon consuming power,
• Modern finishing/decoration materials to be used,

• Increased hydrofoil life-time provided by:
• Strengthened construction of foils and steering arrangements,
• Distance between the hull’s frames reduces to 500 mm,
• Increased thickness of the ship’s bottom at the place of fuel tanks location,
• Rudder stock box,
• Reinforced main engines’ foundations,
• Installation of modern engines having life-time 9/12000 hours,
• Life rafts partially moved from the flaps to the wheelhouse deck,
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT:
• autopilot,
• bow thruster,
• installation of mooring capstans on the flaps,
• installation of doubled windows (additional reduction of noise and aircon power),
• installation of business class seats with distances between them upto 1,1 m (number 1 saloon – business class)
