Focus on Passenger Vessels

Baird Maritime

Baird Maritime kicks off the month of September by focusing on the ever-important and steadily growing passenger vessel industry. This week, we take a closer look at a unique selection of vessels, from inner city ferries to small luxury cruise ships serving routes in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.

Catamarans figure prominently this week as indicated by recently delivered electric ferries in the UK and the Netherlands and even a coastal catamaran cruise ship for a US operator for service on domestic routes.
