The Market for fast ferries in deep water is well establlished. The SPAN project aims at extending this market having developed fast passanger ferries capable of operating in restricted and shallow waterways. In areas of high population density surrounding estuarine or wide river system fast ferries provide an alternative to road transport giving economic and environmental benefits, by providing people with better acess to work and reducing road traffic congestion with associated fume emissions. It was known that vessel performance in shallow waters is different to that in deep water. Single hull vessel characteristics have been well researched, but verified reliable data had not been developed to a sufficient extent for twin hulled water jet propelled ferries which now offer superior performance. Therefore, increased use of high-speed twin hulled vessels in these conditions was handicapped by the absence of independent verified hidrodynamic data to predict their behaviour, particularly in shallow waters. The objective of SPAN was to provide a sound basis for planning the safe passage at high speed in shallow water and to provide a real time aid for navigation for fast twin hulled vessels.
