The PAX 550 passenger ferry is an ultra modern, stylish vessel, with luxury seating for up to 80 passengers over 3 different levels, including 2 compartments with electric flushing luxury toilets and hand basins.
This is a craft featuring semi wave piercing hulls, capable of speeds up to 32 knots, depending on engine options selected. Being a displacement vessel as such it offers a much smoother ride than any planing craft.
Seating layout can be adjusted to suit owners requirements and for up to 50 passengers even lounge type seating can be offered, together with a wet bar and a small galley if required.
Spacious walk around engine rooms are located in the centre of each hull, and the area ahead of this can be utilized for passenger baggage, or crew quarters, or even a private en-suite owner or crew cabin.
A large deck area ensures that passengers are not just confined to their seats, but are able to walk around or simply lounge on the open deck, as well, as they watch the water go by.
This is an extremely versatile vessel equipped with the most modern control and navigation centre, and if required air-conditioning of the passenger areas can be provided.

Ferries are used where there are no alternative traffic routes such as bridges or tunnels. They connect countries and people. Ferries play an extremely important role in public transport in cities by the sea or on big rivers. Depending on whom or what needs to be carried, passenger, car and train ferries are operated.
Meyer Werft has been building large car and passenger ferries since the 1960s. More than 20 of such ships have been delivered to operators in Sweden, Denmark and Finland. Today these ships interconnect countries in Scandinavia, but also link these countries with Germany.
Meyer Werft has the reputation of a specialist for Ro-Ro ships. The "cargo" for these ships is driven on board as it is mostly passenger cars and trucks or even trains. Ro-Ro ships are equipped with decks on which the vehicles are driven. The advantage of this design is obvious: quick and careful cargo handling and flexible combination of what is taken on board.
As early as in 1966 Meyer Werft delivered the "Salome" and the "Undine", the first true Ro-Ro ships worldwide.
