- Abstract
This paper presents the characteristics of ferry shipping with particular emphasis on large RoPax vessels operating in the Baltic Sea. A critical review of main propulsion system used on large RoPax ferries has been done. Optimal propeller parameters and required brake power have been estimated on the basis of total resistance of bare hull and appendages approximated according to Holtrop-Mennen method. Main engines and generating sets have been selected for minimized fuel consumption approximated with quadratic regression. Operational parameters and costs of analysed large RoPax main propulsion systems have been compared.
