The smallest passenger ships proposed by ERI-MARINE.

Conceived to carry out short and medium-range connections, the HSC P58 presents essential advantages to ensure the services which it is intended for and particularly:

 Connections between islands : in the greek archipelagos for instance.

 Coastal fast connections to supplement the terrestrial passenger transport infrastructures or link large cities together as in the maritime passenger transport along the chinese coasts or the fast services on Rio de La Plata, between Seattle and Vancouver and even “low cost” shuttles for the English Channel crossing.

 Connections of the type “Subway of the Seas” to offer all the year long an alternative to the road or public transport in urban zones of high density coming closer to “suffocation” like the French Riviera, or to ensure “subway-like lines” on north-american or swiss lakes.

 Medium range connections for tourist developments or special events between islands and continent, in the Mediterranean, in the Caribbean, in the Indian Ocean, etc.

The HSC characteristics confer HSC P58 incomparable advantages:

 Navigation throughout year under exceptional conditions of comfort whatever the force or the direction of the wind and the sea conditions might be, because of the stability of the ship.

 Absence of trail allowing a high speed in estuaries, on lakes and in edge of coasts.

 Regularity of the services, essential for the profitability of exploitation.

 Reduced exploitation costs due to low fuel consumption related to the travelled nautical mile.

 Maneuverability allowing usage of summary wharves.

 Safety, essential condition to face, within the day, climatic changes or wind strengthening.
