Award winning passenger shuttle ferries for Ace Link
The REMONTOWA Group shipyards delivered to Eitzen Group

mega-yachts rather than shuttle ferries, put into operation on one of the
world’s busiest ferry route across Sund (with famous Hamlet’s castle in view).
The "Sundbusserne" type ferries were
delivered: in November 2007 - Simara Ace and January 2008 - Siluna
Ace. The
design is of a modern vessel based on the latest technical developments for
passenger vessels with an overall cost-effectiveness in operation and
environmentally friendly construction. Special attention was given to an
efficient hull design, fuel-efficient machinery, equipment and outfitting with
a minimum of maintenance. The
workmanship was of the highest shipbuilding standard. Both vessels are 400 passenger shuttle ferries
operating in transportation of passengers between Ellsinore in Denmark and
Helsinborg in Sweden with speed of 14 knots. The 400 pax shuttle ferries of
1064 type have been built with modern shape of all welded steel hull and
deckhouse of welded steel / aluminium structure. The vessel of the 1064 type is
equipped with diesel electric propulsion system consisting of 3 generator sets,
711 kVA each, and two azimuthing thrusters aft with two electric motors of 600
kW each. There is one boiler for heating. The machinery also includes emergency
generating set 220 kW, bow thruster 300 kW, one pair of heeling tanks and one
