The Pegasus One which is on charter to Stena Line, features a V-shaped aluminum alloy-monohull that extends to the stern to enhance seakeeping performance. The V-shaped design provides high resistance at low speed and low resistance at high speed.

Speed is of the essence

Article Abstract:

Attica Enterprises rapid growth and prosperity since its inception in 1993 is due to its conventional displacement ferries called Superfast I and Superfast II, which the company claims have captured almost 50% of the vehicle-and-passenger on the 500-nautical-mile route between Patras, Greece, and Ancona, Italy. Attica enlisted the services of a new shipyard to build its Superfast III and IV, and their increased propulsion power and modified hull form will likely give Attica a stronger competitive edge in the Adriatic.
