Post by: ekto on August 28, 2008, 10:48:30: Suomenlinna ferryes are quite small, and that's why I think they might suite the game.

This is the new one:
(http://www.raitio.org/news/arkkuva/nise1.jpg)
It has Azimuth propellers.
Lenght 33 meters
Widith 8.5 meters
Speed 8 knots

Detailed pictures at page 12
http://www.onnettomuustutkinta.fi/uploads/oiohg.pdf

This is the old one:
http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuva:Suomenlinnan_lautta.JPG
It has two tradditional propellers and rudders in each end. I don't know if they use one or both propellers when travelling. One in reverse and one forward...
Lenght 39 meters
Widith 9 meters
Speed 9 knots

Be careful with terms like "world's largest" :-) Each company pretends they have the largest !

Here a top 35 of the europe's largest car ferries (only of Europe, don't know about the rest of the world) :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largest_ferries_of_Europe
The Ulysses only comes at the 11th position !

The Pride of Rotterdam, which is already present in the game, is the 3rd ... And the biggest at this time are the sister ships Color Magic and Color Fantasy :

Worlds largest car ferry by capacity ;)

The Pride of Hull, Stena Britannica and Colour Magic are in front of the Ulysses when it comes to Overall length.

Which capacity? Top in Pax: COLOR FANTASY/MAGIC; in Cars: PRIDE OF HULL/ROTTERDAM; in Lanemeter: FINNMAID/-STAR...; in Beds: SILJA EUROPA. There is nothing left for the ULYSSES to be the largest, nothing!

The Ullysses is the largest ferry by car capacity. The Pride of Rotterdam is larger, but the Ullysses manages to fit almost 1000 extra cars.

Post by: Bottman on August 30, 2008, 22:30:45: This is my last comment, for sure! If you have a look into the outstanding ferry-bible from ShipPax, you'll see for cars: PRIDE 1380, for ULYSSES 1342. The latter was reached by using five different decks/platforms - so where should this vessel place 1000 extra cars? ::)

I think all of us are starting to know what your favorite ships look like ... Maybe you should have started a topic named "Pictures of my favorite ferries" ! it's hard to follow the discussion with all the picture there are to download when you load a page of this topic !!

By the way, your pictures are fine, but it wasn't the initial purpose of this topic - or the subject text isn't well choosen !

Istanbul car ferries for me too! I have very close relations in Turkey, And I would like to say the Izmir Car ferries are actually a bit better. They are generally the same. I would also like the istanbul normal ferry.

Maybe I'm not a ferry fan, but if you ask me which ferry I'd like to see in future SS, the answer will be so:

Post by: CathyH on January 22, 2009, 09:05:53: The GMV (Government Motor Vessel) ARAMOANA Her name, in NZ Maori means "pathway Across the Sea (or waters) She was the first RO_RO ship on the NZ coast and entered service in 1962 replacing the Union Lines TAMAHINE & RANGATIRA, she could carry both rail wagons (on her lower deck) as well as cars and trucks, and cars only on the uppper deck. TAMAHINE was a convetional ship and took almost all day to load and dsicharge, ARAMOANA could turn around in an hour. She was followed by ARANUI, ARAHANGA, ARATIKA, ARAHURA. I travelled on ARAMOANA many times as a child--usually as a guest of thje captain, and served aboard her as an assistant purser, she has now been scrapped but she was a wonderful seaboat :)

Post by: Insane on May 22, 2009, 11:45:18: As i have said in another Topic, i would like to see two classic Norwegian ferries, which in my opinion is one of the most beautiful ferries ever made, the MF "VeÃ¸y" and MF "BolsÃ¸y". Both ferries are owned by Fjord1 MRF and is very well maintained, as they are used on the tourist route in the Geiranger fjord in the summer.

Video of "BolsÃ¸y" is here, where it runs in the summer season in the Geiranger fjord along with "VeÃ¸y". The resot of then year, those ferries are laid up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvxzG1NXdUU

here are some pictures of "VeÃ¸y"

http://www.shipspotting.com/search.php?query=Ve%F8y&action=results.

Now, i don't expect that those ferries will be made for shipsim, but at least i can hope :)

That being said, i would love to have another ferry than the Red Eagle. Red Eagle's control system is a bit confusing to be honest. Another ferry with lever control system for engine RPM and propeller pitch would be nice, instead of those wheels.

This boat I have seen in the port of Ancona and Patras in my holidays in greece. But I went by Minoan Lines. but I saw it in other colors, with a "Superfast" lettering on the side

In 2006, Tallink purchased the Baltic Sea operations of Superfast Ferries from Attica Group

Years ago this ship had too "Superfast" on the side, but now is Tallink.

As i have said in another Topic, i would like to see two classic Norwegian ferries, which in my opinion is one of the most beautiful ferries ever made, the MF "VeÃ¸y" and MF "BolsÃ¸y". Both ferries are owned by Fjord1 MRF and is very well maintained, as they are used on the tourist route in the Geiranger fjord in the summer.

Video of "BolsÃ¸y" is here, where it runs in the summer season in the Geiranger fjord along with "VeÃ¸y". The resot of then year, those ferries are laid up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvxzG1NXdUU

here are some pictures of "VeÃ¸y"

agreed

http://www.shipspotting.com/search.php?query=Ve%F8y&action=results.

Now, i don't expect that those ferries will be made for shipsim, but at least i can hope :)

That being said, i would love to have another ferry than the Red Eagle. Red Eagle's control system is a bit confusing to be honest. Another ferry with lever control system for engine RPM and propeller pitch would be nice, instead of those wheels.

I'm working on it... ;)

*Its a SR.N4

there were 3 types:

Mk I was the original The Princess Anne and The Princess Margaret
Mk II featured a improved Skirt, and featured the Swift, Sure, St Christopher and Prince of Wales, as well as the Anne and Margaret who both eventually received the Mk II Skirt
MK III was the final and biggest incarnation of the SR.N4, when The Princess Anne and The Princess Margaret were stretched

You also had the Sedam N500, but the first one Cote d'Argent was destroyed by fire soon after completion, the second was the Ingenieur Jean Bertin which after proving less then a success with mechanical problems was scrapped
