Fastest Diesel Ferry Makes American Debut
A 284ft long Australian built catamaran claimed to be the worlds fastest diesel powered high speed vehicle ferry was commissioned in April onto the commuter service between Rochester, New York and Toronto, Canada. The Spirit of Ontario will reduce travel time between the two cities by over 50%. Servicing the Canadian American Transportation System , it is the first super-ferry to be home ported in the USA and is expected to lead to wider high speed ferry uptake in other major metropolitan areas.
