MAURIC entered the market of ROPAX Ferries or RoRo-Passenger Vessels with the delivery of the Mestre Simao and Gilberto Mariano, two 40m sisterships for the daily transport of passengers and vehicles in Azores islands. These ROPAX ferries benefit from MAURIC expertise in displacement hull form design for exceptional seakeeping performances allowing safe and efficient journey in Azores archipelago even by high sea states.
As for all its passenger vessel designs, MAURIC focus on passenger and crew safety by optimizing the nautical behaviour of the vessel (manoeuvrability, course keeping and seakeeping) and designing passenger areas facilitating the passenger’s movement, especially in case of emergency. We provide safe, reliable and efficient designs integrating quality equipment and complying with international codes and local regulations. Because passenger and vehicle transport is primarily your business, we offer to you efficient designs optimizing accessibility and your passenger’s ride experience by providing comfortable saloon and passenger areas such as VIP saloons or cabins, playgrounds, restaurants, etc… customized according to your specifications, by teaming up with interior designers or building shipyard designers.
